Hi, New to this list! Some of the names I'm researching are mentioned above. My recent brick wall is regarding my ggrandmother. I am going on the information passed down by my grandparents on this one, but I've already found some errors, so maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree. I was told that her name was Blanche Naverine, born and died in San Jose, Santa Clara County, CA (though I don't have exact years of birth and death -- first child born 1925). Looking up her son's birth record told me that her name was instead spelled Navarrine. That's the only place I've been able to find this woman at all... I've looked through all possible CA birth and death records (easy, since *I* live in San Jose, too!) which do not report her. I've also tried to figure out a time of marriage, given childrens' birth dates, and haven't found anything there. The son born in 1925 was born in Berkeley, CA (Alameda County). I'm also trying to work more on my paternal ggrandparents, which has been a pain. I haven't been able to find much of anything. My ggrandfather (married to Ms. Navarrine) was David M. Yool, and I don't know anything else about him, nor have I ben able to find him anyplace. I'd appreciate any suggestions or help! Thanks!
