Surnames: COLLEY Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YW.2ADI/4150 Message Board Post: BEN COLLEY is listed in the 1920 AND 1930 census as living in Sonoma County. He lived both in Sebastapool and Santa Rosa. Early in life he worked for the railroad. Then he was listed as a bar tender and later as a civil engineer. It took me ten years to find this much. He was born in PA in 1875. I cannot find any further record than 1930. Can anyone help?
