Thanks for your reply - Nancy.... I have a couple Curtis Galpins but no dates for either of them. If you would like to email me what information you have on him and his daughter, I would be happy to check my California resources. More than likely your Curtis is related to my John William Galpin since he was from Missouri. Lots of my Galpins came from or lived in Missouri at one time or other. My John Galpin was married Susie Hutchins, daughter of Leslie Thompson Hutchins and Alma Diana Rhodes, sister of Mary Hutchins-Meredith - all lived in Butte & Yuba County, CA. That's where the other names come in. If you'd like I can also send you via email my gedcom file or family group sheets. Have you checked out the California Death Index 1940-1990? or the California Birth Index 190-4-1990? You can check by mother's maiden name, county of death, etc. Very handy tools. If you have Curtis' death date, I can probably get a copy of his obituary. Any information you would like to share would be great. I'd like to help you in anyway I can. Looking forward to hearing from you. Michelle
