Hi Jeanne, For the list, just post (as you did). For the NORCAL Volunteer Lookup Library, email the particulars to me and I'll add when I next update the site.

how do I add books for lookups to your list ?

I have the Eureka High School Yearbooks The Sequoia, from 1940 through 1944 if anyone needs a lookup, staff or advertisements. I'd be happy to look them up for you.

New Tool for Genealogy Research? Has Someone Died in Your House There has been a recent website created. Died In House – Has Someone Died in Your House http://www.diedinhouse.com/ It is not promoted as a genealogy tool; however, it seems to me that anyone having any residential location in the United States, could clearly benefit, by obtaining a home history; relatives and occupants. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/10/19/newser-died-in-house/3025953/ Has anyone on this list found this site beneficial? The Died in Houseservice is the first of its kind; it provides users with death records associated to a specific address.  This seems to have tremendous potential, for the genealogy and family history community, especially for close knit neighborhoods,considering data obtained from obituary notices and death certificates. http://www.diedinhouse.com/AboutUs Respectfully yours, V.

Thanks, Ken. I appreciate the info. Cathy In a message dated 11/18/2013 8:42:49 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, Ktsc100@aol.com writes: Cathy, The Guide to The County Archives of California by Owen C. Coy published in 1919 shows the following in Tehama County at that time. Declaration of Intention, Record, 1888-date, 3 V.; 1903-1907, 1 f.b.; Index, 1856-1906, 1 v. Naturalization Depositions, 1915-date, 1 f.b. Naturalization, Record of, 1886-1906,3v. (A, A, C), with few entries; Petition and Record, 1906-date, 2v.

Unfortunately some of the early naturalizations done in California counties were recorded in court minute books and were not picked up by Coy's team when they did the inventory. Some counties such as San Mateo did a later inventory and searched out all the naturalizations that were record in the minute books and indexed them. Perhaps that last item in the listing above would have your man listed and provide the name of the book where his naturalization information was recorded. Before 1906, the final naturalization records seldom provided any information other than his country of birth. Sometimes, the Declaration of Intention (or an application for citizenship used by some counties) would provide additional information such as the year he arrived in the country. Unfortunately, the Declaration of Intention is not always available at the same county where the final naturalization took place. It can be extremely difficult to determine where the D of C is located. I have found the people working at the rural county offices in California are always more helpful than the urban counties. I would suggest you give them a call and ask what they can do for you. If you get a clerk that does not seem interested, ask to talk to the department manager or the county manager.

I know the marriage index is only ten years and I can never remember which ten years. I am looking fo a marriage for Elston George "Tex" Lowrie and Peggy Irene Patton. I have never seen her name written as Margaret, always Peggy. His mother had word that he was coming home from the Phillipine Islands in 1945 (no mention of a wife). He was discharged from the Navy in 1946. In 1947 he and his wife were living in Richmond, Contra Costa County where he was worked in a radio repair shop. They lived most of the rest of their lives in Tennessee. Nancy in Louisiana

Dear Flavia and other Listers! I am indeed amazed and impressed! Thank you so very much, Flavia, for having supplied this wonderful information about Lillian and her husband Edward McCullough! We know it must be the one, since Lillian's place of residence in 1935 is given as Madison, WI, which is a perfect "match". As I continue searching the MA birth index, I find only one good "candidate" for Edward: Edward T. McCullough, born in Middlesex Co., MA Feb. 1, 1906. And this Edward appears to have died at Gary, IN in July of 1974 (re: SSDI), so I have a "hunch" this must be the "right" man! And I must presume Edward and Lillian were divorced in Indiana BEFORE Lillian moved to CA, so there would be nothing more to be found in CA records about Edward McCullough! This information is just wonderful! Thanks again, Flavia! By the way, I wonder, since I understand you live in Contra Costa Co., CA where Lillian died (re: CADI), would you by any chance have a possibility to check out her death record to see * Where she actually died? * Place of her burial? * Where she resided (with length of stay)? * Her occupation? * Marital status? * Informant's name? Then I would be even more delighted! Thanks again! But maybe the death records in Contra Costa Co., CA are of those that cannot be viewed, even when visiting the courthouse?

Is there a connection between Francis Prigmoreand Elida Rumsey Fowle?I have a book Women of the War by Frank Moore published 1867 in Hartford, Connecticut by S. S. Scranton & Co. On page 99 written on the border are the words--- "Francie Prigmore." I have read Elida's story and find that she was a nurse in the Civil War. She was from New York. I believe the Prigmore family was at one time in Pennsylvania. Just wondering. Anyone in the Prigmore community have any ideas?

Lars, I found Lillian McCullough....look at the 1940 Federal Census, Gary, Lake County, Indiana...Edward McCullough, age 34, born MA; Lillian, age 20, born WI. Looks like this was her first marriage.

Dear Cathy and other Listers! Thank you very much, Cathy, for your message in regard to Russell Higgins marriages. It is indeed confusing with the two marriages from 1960, sseveral months apart and in two different Counties! Maybe they got a "speedy Nevada divorce" and then remarried at once? I notice that the one Tony Cafaro also married the same woman twice, but those marriages were a year apart, 1953 and 1954! And as I study the California marriage index for 1949-1959 I find Tony F. Cafaro (39), and Lillian M. Vanderbloemen McCULLOUGH (37) married in San Diego, CA on Jan. 30, 1957. WOOPS: Then not only is Tony Cafaro identified, but we also have a new husband of Lillian's, between Russell Francis Higgins and Tony Frank Cafaro! However, I can see no sign of a marriage in Los Angeles Co., CA 1945-1952 nor in the entire state of CA 1949-1959, so IF Lillian and McCullough were married in CA, it must have occurred prior to 1949! But they may also have married in Las Vegas, NV or elsewhere...? This new discovery provides for a "revised" list of specific questions: ** Year of divorce for Lillian and Russell Higgins? ** Place of death for Russell Francis Higgins (1972)? ** Russell Higgins' occupation? ** Date and place of marriage for Lillian and "Mr." McCullough? ** Identification of "Mr." McCullough with full name, dates and places of birth and death? ** Year of divorce for Lilian and "Mr." McCullough? ** "Mr." McCullough's occupation? ** Year of divorce for Lillian and Tony Cafaro? ** Tony Cafaro's occupation? ** Place(s) of residence for Lillian Vanderbloemen Higgins McCullough Cafaro? Thanks again for your wonderful assistance in this matter! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Nov 9, 2013, at 3:31 PM, CYLGowdy@aol.com wrote: > Russell F.

Russell F. Higgins and Olga Burmann married 4 Nov. 1960 in Los Angeles Co. A second entry for the marriage lists her as Olga I Leatherdale. Same person. However, a marriage is also listed to Olga I. Leatherdale 8 May 1960 in Imperial county. The index is apparently messed up. The marriage to Sandra Vilhauer was in Alameda Co. 11 Feb. 1969. They divorced Nov. 1970 in Alameda.

Dear Listers, I have yesterday made an interesting discovery in California where I require some assistance from you experts on California research: Lillian Mary VANDERBLOEMEN, born in Stoughton, WI Feb. 8, 1920 to Dutch/Norwegian parents, moved at a young age to Los Angeles, CA where she worked as a waitresson Nov 14, 1945 she married 1st time to: Russell Francis HIGGINS, born in Providence, RI Oct. 11, 1922 who appears to have been in the US Navy from 1942 until 1956. Russell and Lillian were divorced, and Russell remarried twice (or maybe three times) both in Imperial and Los Angeles Cos., CA in 1960 to Olga Bumann Leatherdale and in Alameda Co., CA in 1969 to Sandra Vilhauer. He was divorced from the latter in 1970, also in Alameda Co., CA, and he died Feb. 14, 1972, unknown where. I don't see him in the CADI. Lillian also remarried, I don't know when or where, to one (according to family): Carl "Tony" CAFARO, who is thought to have been a seaman of some kind. They also divorced after a short marriage, and according to the CADI Lillian died in Contra Costa Co., CA on Apr. 30, 1977, while family says she died at Sausalito, Marin Co., CA. At any rate, she was a resident of San Pablo, Contra Costa Co., CA at the time she died! There are TWO Tony Cafaros in California about the same age: 1) Tony Frank CAFARO, born in ID Apr. 23, 1917, grew up in Spokane WA, died at Chula Vista, San Diego Co., CA Nov. 22, 1990. I have found two marriages for him: his 2nd marriage in Los Angeles, CA Jan. 13, 1953 to Mrs. Pauline Stewart Arburua, and his last marriage in San Diego, CA Feb. 14, 1971 to Dorothy L. Howard Oldfather, who was also his wife when he died. 2) Antonio "Tony A." CAFARO, born in Los Angeles, CA Jul. 23, 1915, died at Lancaster, Los Angeles Co., CA Jan. 5, 2003. He married about 1939 a Dorothy NN, born in KS about 1916/1917 and show up in the 1940 census as well as in the 1942 voter registration list for Los Angeles, CA. Dorothy appears to be gone by 1944. In 1972 Tony resided at Rosamond in Kern Co., CA, returning to Lancaster, Los Angeles Co., CA in the late 1980's. I don't find any Carl CAFARO who "match". What I am trying to find out: ** Year of divorce for Lillian and Russell Higgins? ** Place of death for Russell Francis Higgins (1972)? ** Russell Higgins' occupation? ** Date and place of marriage for Lillian and Tony Cafaro? ** Identification of the "correct" Tony Cafaro? ** Year of divorce for Lillian and Tony Cafaro? ** Tony Cafaro's occupation? I thank you very much in advance for any assistance you can give me to solve this problem! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane Geilo, NORWAY/Bavaria, GERMANY
