Hi List: I am looking for any information at all on a Nicholas Ott and wife, Anna, maiden surname unknown. This couple adopted my grandmother, probably around 1889 or 1890, after the death of her natural parents. I have Nichlas Ott in the San Francisco City Directory for the years 1889-91. His occupation was listed as a dreyer and his place of employment was Baker & Hamilton. Does anyone know anything at all about this company? Any information at all will be most appreciated. I would really like to learn more about my grandmother. I am hopefull that some day I may be able to locate her adoption records. I have been told that her maiden name was Ward before she was adopted by the Otts and that she had a young brother named Harry who committed suicide near to Calvery Cemetery not long after his parents death.
