I can tell you that Ethel (the mom) was in SF in 1900 with her family and then in Oakland in 1910 in an orphanage. Her mom died in 1902. I grew up here in SF but now live on the east coast. Just visiting - I found their marriage record which gave me his name - and where she disappeared to. Thanks for another piece of the puzzle. I'll get over to NARA on Monday for the military records. Is there anything I can look up here for you on your CA Hall person? Peggy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
