I cannot remember if I posted it, but the city directory showed only 10-15 families (iirc) living there at the time. And my father had emailed me back that they were ranch-size parcels. Have you tried contacting Emil Wonnenbergs children since they seemed to be the only heirs? I see they are on FB and other social media sites.

Guyla was not Norwiegan. Her family came to this Country from New Zealand in the 1890's. She remarried Emil Wonnenberg after Goebel.Don't know where she was living at that time as I haven't found an obit for her.(Apr 11, 1994). There was another deed recorded July 20, 1983 but, have no idea where any of the property's were located. It isn't very important, I'm just very curious as to where this so called Ranch was located. thanks everyone for all your input, Bonnie Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Do you know if she was Norwegian? The residents on the road (not very many btw) that my grandparents visited were Norwegian ... well, at least one of them was. Also, I talked to my father again and he said that Moonlight Way was a small, unincorporated subdivision at that time. (not the close together houses or small lots like some might picture as a subdivision) There was land and he said it is very possible one of the neighbors called their property a Ranch. There are three records at the Recorders Office for June G Collins Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

He said they deal w/history around the early 1900's. What I'm looking for is too recent. He did most of the talking so it was hard to get in too many question. He did however give me phone numbers for the Recorders Office (to look up deed) & Superior court to see if I can find any Probate papers. the hunt continues .. lol Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

His name was June Goebel Collins but, I believe he went by Goebel. His wf.'s name was Guyla. He was 76 when he died & Guyla was 56 that same year (1975). The paper trail shows several different addresses for them over the years. There was a time period when they lived in Sparks, NV but, while in CA they always lived in Santa Rosa. thanks, Bonnie Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

She had never heard of that, but she looked on a photo/map of the area where the street is, and it looks like there could have been a small ranch out there a while ago. Anyway, it's on the West side of town.
