I am trying to find my REA and HAMMOND cousins in San Joaquin County. My great grand uncle, Clyde W. Rea, had a daughter named Jesse Lucinda Rea, born August 28, 1888 in New Ulm, Brown County, Minnesota. She married Elmer Royal Hammond April 15, 1911 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They moved to Stockton, California sometime after 1914. I have reason to believe other Rea relatives of Jesse's may have also moved out to the Stockton area. Jesse and Royal had four children, two of which are still living. The two who are deceased were: Roy Hammond, born July 9, 1912 in Minneapolis, and Lois Hammond, born February 26, 1914 in Minneapolis. Lois died in October 1952. Another family of the Stockton area that is somehow connected to my Reas is the Gogna family. Any Gognas in the area may be interested in getting in touch with me, as I have information about your Rea ancestry. Same goes for any Hammonds. Gary
