This has been a fascinating thread and a personal thanks to everyone who's contributed. It's recalled an comment by my father about a great aunt who married a man outside her faith. Apparently it was a happy marriage, although her sisters and sisters-in-law were jealous of the husband's indulgent treatment of her. She also went to (I think) Agnew, distraught by the carping by her female relatives. Sounds far fetched, but who knows. Although she was my grandfather's favorite aunt, I never heard any mention of her except that one time. What a sad commentary on the supposedly golden good old days.

In my hunting, so far have found 3 who were in Napa State. Can't believe the reasons given by the Committer were valid reasons....you can't get may State records, if you believe the relies, WHEW, it wasn't pleasant. ~Linda~ Willow Creek, CA. ----------------------------------------- NORCAL ARCHIVES: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ Enter NORCAL.
