I think what you'll find at the library in Stockton Marge is the CAIF on fiche, just like here in Modesto.....the actual cards that the fiche version were filmed from are at the CA room in Sacramento in a large card file cabinet; when you find one that says Pioneer Card you ask at the reference desk counter in the CA room and they go to a special card file and pull the card - I found my ggf in the CAIF file with a card that said Pioneer Card and when I visited the library, I was hoping for more......apparently his son picked up a card to fill out yet never returned it so there was no further information on the card than what was filmed for the CAIF......
