Hi William and Doreen and members of the CASANLUI-L, I only have one Phillips reference here at the house. Dorothy Gates quotes Myron Angel on page 13 of Morro Bays Yesterdays: in 1875 C.H. Phillips, the organizer and manager of the Bank of San Luis Obispo, was the purchaser of the Morro y Cayucos Rancho of 8,100 acres There are several paragraphs more about Chauncey Hatch Phillips. He was nly 38 when he purchased the land that was to become Cayucos and north Morro Bay. Gates calls him a gifted money manager and a financial genius in the early days of San Luis Obispo County real estate. If I get a chance to find anything else (in the next two weeks Doreen) Ill let you all know. Meanwhile here are the book references: Morro Bays Yesterdays, Dorothy L. Gates and Jane H.

Dear List, Aloha, I am researching the PHILLIPS family found in the 1870 census of San Louis Obispo county. I am fairly new to researching this area of California so any help will be appreciated. I have done much research in California in the years past so it should not be to hard to get acclimated for me here. First what I know. Reuben PHILLIPS was the first of my ancestors to enter California in 1860-61. He had two sons in California that I know of they were Reuben, born in 1861 according to the 1870 census, and Isaac born in 1865 again according to the same census. Reubens other children were all sons that I know of they were Houston, my 3rd great grandfather, and Moses, William and George PHILLIPS. I am trying at this time to find anything like birth information on those first two and any marriage information on the rest. Houston moved to Kern county about 1889 and died in 1922. Ruben his father died in southern California in 1897 and is buried in Los Angelese. I welcome any information on this family and specially look forward to meeting any relatives of this family that may be on this list. Aloha, William Disbro

Hello List: I am looking for the obituaries of my gggparents, Valentine and Jemima Hampton. They died in San Luis Obispo apparently within a couple of days of each other, about March 22-24 1884. They homesteaded in See Canyon. I have the notice in the paper from a later date of the sale of the homestead, but not their actual obituary. I have queried the library and my brother has searched there, but the paper for that time is missing. Would anyone have access to the 1884 paper Tribune (?) for March 1884? Thank you very much in advance. Sincerely, Mary Lee Hampton Moeny CCNmail for your free web-based e-mail. http://www.ccnmail.com

Dear Richard, You are very knowledgeable! Thanks very much. I knew much of this (have fond memories of attending Paso Robles Pioneer Day as a child and meeting dozens of relatives!), and correspond with my cousin (once removed), Henrietta Tognazzini, who is also a genealogy buff, but you have filled in a couple of gaps. Do you know where I could obtain a copy of "Centennial Family Memories"? Bernard Exline married Elizabeth Huey in Greene Co., IN, on 12 Nov. 1849. Some time after that (I can't find them on the 1850 census!) they moved to California, together with Elizabeth's parents, Thomas and Vesta (Stewart) Huey, and possibly other family members. Thomas and Vesta are on the 1880 census in Salinas Twp, together with son William, and one of the things I would like to find out is when they died and where they are buried, as well as what happened to William (a constable aged 44 on that census). Bernard and Elizabeth had four children, Isabel, William H. (my g-grandfather), Thomas S., and Bernard Lincoln Jr. Elizabeth and three of her children died of tuberculosis (she thought open windows were unhealthy). William H. married Harriet Esther Warner, who also had four children during her short married life (William died young), and raised them alone while running the ranch. Bernard's half-brother Levi Exline and half-sister Rebecca Exline Stockdale (married to David Stockdale) also came out to California from Indiana--not sure if with Bernard or not--and put down strong roots. Anyway, I have a basic outline but would like to fill it in a bit! If anyone else is researching Hueys or Exlines, I would be pleased to hear from you!

Martha: SLO Tribune hard copies and microfilm in the City-County Library may go back that far, maybe someone on this list can respond and do an obit lookup. Paso Robles Press records go back to November of 1886, with issues and few entire years missing here and there. But the Exline family has descendants, know a few today. In 1989 participated in an historical publication that included the Exlines: "Centennial Family Memories." From Switzerland to Philadelphia in 1727. Wagon trained to CA couple generations later, local branch went first to El Dorado County. Homesteaded 160 acres north of Paso Robles, a county road is named "Exline Road" to this day. Bernard Exline settled here in 1868. Wife was Elizabeth Huey Exline, came from El Dorado County with Wm. Henry and couple other children from El Dorado Co. and at least three more born here. Pioneers Bernard and Eliz. Exline are buried in nearby Estrella Adobe Church cemetery, others around Paso Robles area including their granddaughter Alice Exline Brown and her husband Joseph. Son William Henry Exline (b. 1856 El Dorado County, CA) and spouse Harriet Esther Warner Exline are mentioned, they had at least four children including Alice. Md. into the Tognazzini's as well, and a large family reunion of Exlines, Browns and related families is held each October. Attended one in downtown city park, with 50+ folks 1980s. 160 acre homestead settled by Bernard, but there could have been other members of this family not in my records here at home. Something may help?

Fellow Rooters: This weekend is a BIG day around our family, the fifth Birthday of Grandson Jimmie (James Lynch Reddick II, b. 12 March, 1995, San Luis Obispo, CA). At times he is my computer buddy, and among his favorite CD "games" is the "Winnie the Pooh" learning series. Catching up on my email and genealogy (I wish) this sunny Saturday morning ran across this in the Ancestry.com newsletter article by Michael Neill. Enjoy. >From Ancestry.com: http://www.ancestry.com/learn/columns/dailyarchive/03-07-00.htm#3 "Tigger's Family Tree Search: What We Can Learn From Him" by Michael John Neill I recently saw "The Tigger Movie." The theme of the movie, Tigger's search for his family, got me thinking about genealogy. I won't reveal the results of Tigger's search, but the movie actually pointed out several things worth remembering when researching people instead of stuffed animals. 1) Tigger did not start his search at home. He began his search by bouncing through the forest looking for his family tree. Every search for genealogical information should begin with sources available in your home or the homes of your parents and relatives. There are times when sources in the home are the only ones that provide certain pieces of information. Pictures, clippings, cards, family Bibles, certificates, and other such items may provide significant clues to family origins. Locating these items may save countless hours of searching in official records. Seasoned genealogists should also determine if there are any extended family members who might have similar memorabilia. Third, fourth, or even more distant cousins may have family keepsakes or mementos crucial to your search. 2) Tigger thought his family tree was all in one place. Genealogists with a little experience under their belt realize that the search takes place one ancestor or family at a time. There's not one CD, Web site, or published book that contains our entire ancestry. Even if there was such a beast, we should document the statements it makes. 3) Tigger didn't analyze what he found. When his friends came to Tigger's house dressed up as Tiggers, Tigger was understandably ready to accept them as part of his family. A quick analysis would have revealed that at least one of the "family members" was shaped like Winnie the Pooh. Tigger had hit a brick wall and was ready to accept the first close "match" that came along. No matter how tired, desperate, or frustrated we get, we must continue to analyze the new information that comes our way. Hastily accepting the first close match that comes along may result in wasted time and money. Information that seems to be too good to be true may be just that. Remember if it's shaped like a Pooh bear and walks like a Poor bear, chances are it is a Pooh bear. 4) Tigger jumped to a few conclusions. Tigger assumed that almost anything "old" in his house was a clue to his past. We all make assumptions as a part of our research. Sometimes we have to shed the assumptions and realize they are incorrect, just like Tigger finally realized that the old piece of clothing might not hold a clue to his past. 5) Tigger talked to others. It didn't help Tigger much, but talking to other genealogists about your family history research problems may help you solve them. Someone else may have worked on a similar problem or in the same geographic area and may be able to give sound advice. If nothing else, just explaining the problem to someone else may help you solve it. Your local society is an excellent place for this discussion. 6) Tigger learns something about himself while searching for his family. For many genealogists, learning about our family teaches us something about ourselves in the process. We may learn the origin of certain customs or traditions. In the worst-case scenario, we may find out how bad choices had a long-lasting impact on our ancestor's lives and that of their families. 7) Tigger realized that friends can be just as important as family. This was a recurring theme throughout the movie and one that any genealogist would do well to remember. Tigger relied on his friends when he could not find his family and perhaps our ancestors did the same thing. Maybe your ancestor moved from Indiana to Nebraska because a former neighbor had settled there. He might have had no relatives there at all, just a former neighbor. Maybe your immigrant Irish ancestor came to Chicago because a friend from his village had established himself there and told his friend he'd help him get settled. Analyzing friends and neighbors can solve some problems. This procedure does not always work and a full and complete analysis of the ancestor should be undertaken before extending the search to neighbors and acquaintances. What are some ways to learn of your ancestor's neighbors and acquaintances? a) Post-1850 census records provide the birthplace of everyone listed. If your Kentucky born ancestor is living in Missouri in 1850 near several other families from Kentucky, perhaps they came from the same county. Document your ancestor first, but if his records are silent about his Kentucky origins, try locating him by locating the Kentucky origins of his neighbors. You may find him in the same county where you find them. b) County histories might list where the early settlers of an area were from. If your family settled an area early, this may be a clue to your family's origins. c) Witnesses on your ancestor's wills, deeds and other records may provide the names of associates of your ancestor. Not all associates were friends of your ancestor. d) Some old county plat books have a list of "subscribers" that includes their county or country of birth. Look at the individuals living in your ancestor's township and adjacent ones for people from the same area. e) Military pension records of your ancestor may provide the names of comrades and fellow servicemen which may be helpful in learning more about the earlier years of your ancestor's life. "The Tigger Movie" shows again the popularity of the search for one's past, albeit it on a juvenile level. Tigger's frustration while searching for his ancestors in the Hundred-Acre wood is one most genealogists can sympathize with. Good Luck. Copyright 2000, Michael John Neill.

Can anyone say what might have motivated a gold-country (Placer Co) miner to relocate to SLO city in 1869? Was the RR going through then? My ancestor's first child was born in SLO in that year. Within two years, he and fam had moved to Sonoma Co. (His name was Marshall FLORENCE.) Thx anyone. Alice Mitchell Monroe, WA Researching Goodnow/Lukens/Cox/Wall/Florence/Bird/Melino

Hi Kim, CA published a CA Death Index (state wide) from July 1905-1995. I have access to 1940-94. If you would like me to check it for your surnames FORZETTING AND NAZELROD I could do that for you on my next trip to the library. The CA Death index will give you the deceased's name, date of death, spouse's initials, soc. sec. number if known, county location of death and the county and state certificate numbers for order the death certificate for further information. The Ca death certificate will give you parent's names and birthplaces, how many years in CA, employment, cause of death, burial location, funeral home that handled the arrangements, citizenship, and sometimes military service years and years of education completed. Last usual residence and address of death.
