Kim..... Just got back from looking at the microfilmed, handwritten, burial records of SF. Found her. Mary Ayers died 28 October 1869 at Hamilton, Nevada of Pneumonia. She was buried at Calvary Cemetery (catholic) in SF. Due to the closing of all of the cemeteries in SF, all of the remains were transfered to Holy Cross cemetery in Colma. On Monday, I will go over to Holy Cross and verify that she is there. Hopefully, I'll be able to get photocopies of any records that they have and a picture of her gravemarker, if there is one. Do you know what her maiden name was?

Kim Golding Tacoma, WA Kim........ There is only one Mary Ayers listed but does not match the age nor date of death. Mary P.

I don't have access to my FTM right now, but thought this might help someone. My sister married a Stanley Enos about 1972 in Hayward, Alameda County, CA. His father was also Stanley. His mother was Grace. He had one sister, though I don't recall her name. If anyone is interested, let me know and I;ll dig up what I have. Susan

I believe the film is from the collection of the Library of Congress. If you go to YouTube and search on 1905 San Francisco you will find many variations; the lengths are stated on the thumbnails. Some are better quality than others. cheers, Gard English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar. —Unknown > > This film was "lost" for many years.

George I had seen this before, but every time I view it I see something new. I think I see a 1905 Thomas Flyer (40 HP) zipping across the tracks at one point. I looked it up and found that it sold for $3,000 in 1905. That is a whopping $75,500 in 2009 dollars using the CPI. Obviously, there were some very wealthy people in SF at this time. I wonder how many of those cars survived the Fire! Paul On Sat, Apr 3, 2010 at 4:14 AM, George Patterson < georgepatterson@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > I received this from a cousin who is also on NORCAL.

Do you have this paper around Dec. 20, 1850?

I think I vaguely remember the map. Until you gave us the link it had never crossed my mind...it was awe-inspiring to a small child, just like the octopus at the Steinhardt Aquarium. EdrieAnne
