Hi Everybody, I am looking for an obituary for Louis Levy (Levey) dead in San Francisco the 27th of April 1913 at   83 years old. My third great grandfather was Marcus Levey and I know he had a brother named Louis. I am trying to find him so it will be awesome if somebody will find this obituary. Thanks, Francois

Look up the Santa Cruz Genealogy Library, I believe it is in the main branch of the public library. I emailed for research help once last year, and got a great response. Kat

Doesn't all fit but maybe??? My suggestion is research John Gehring, find his death and then see if that leads to Maude. Maude Jenningsthom Williams [Maude Jenningsthom Tanner] 0 Female 2 Feb 1876 Colorado 14 Jul 1952 Los Angeles Smith Tanner

Are there any early birth records available for San Francisco? Looking for a record for Cyril Leonard Cuevas, born 13 Mar 1902 Also looking for birth records for Albert Joseph Cuevas, born 24 Apr 1896 and his brother, Raymond Milton Cuevas, born 6 Dec 1901. Parents were Alberto Cuevas & Ramona Flores. I'm not sure where the brothers were born, possibly in San Jose, CA.

My Uncle was in CCC about 1932. He was from San Mateo and was at Gasque Del Norte Co.The record Janie posted does not show a record for that camp until 1938. "Co 5478 took over camp, F-18 as Company 709 disbanded." Uncle said he caught the bus in S.F. rode all day , it dropped him at Eureka. That was as far as the bus went. he hitched rides ,few and far between in those days, to the CCC camp Cresent City. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James R Smith" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; "Janie" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 05, 2012 4:55 PM Subject: Re: [NORCAL] CCC camps for Northern CA & Southern OR > That's fantastic Janie.

Call Holy Cross Cemetery. I have gotten information from their records in the past. They are helpful and share whatever is in their files. Do you have a death certificate?
