Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be who I am searching for. I am looking for an Emanual Kaufman but I don't show him as having a son named William. The family was from the San Francisco area though. Emanual's first wife died very young and he may have remarried and had other children. I will keep this for future reference. Thanks again for the help. Shelley
