I searched many variations of "Great Voter Registration for 1870" on SFGenealogy.com. and missed all times. How do you get there? I am looking for registrations for William McAfee. The one who owned McAfee Boiler Works in the 1870-90s in San Francisco. Thanks.

If your relatives were in San Francisco, you might find them in this online database. The Great Voter Registration of 1870 is broken down into Districts. I think there were 25 of them. After I went through 16 districts I found them! I discovered that my great great grandfather and grandmother, Morris and Johanna, were alive and had about 6 children. They were naturalized in 1855. I had only known of three of the children but it was definitely my family. At first I wondered why my great grandmother Dora Lewis wasn't included. Then I realized that she didn't "join the family" until 1871. A couple of years later, I found the graves of most of these relatives in Colma. My mother who is in her late 70s is planning to go with me to visit these relatives and honor their memory as soon as the weather clears up this spring. Good luck finding your family members. > > Dean Desman > > > > > ________________________________ > From: Betty Loose <betty@unisette.com> > To: norcal@rootsweb.com > Sent: Wed, April 14, 2010 7:18:04 AM > Subject: [NORCAL] 1870 voter registration? > > Was there a Voter registration around 1870?

I'm sorry. I checked out where I originally got my info on sfgenealogy.com, in their "databases", then clicked "voters registration" and realized that the information on my family was from the Great Registration of 1867 (for San Francisco) Dean ________________________________ From: alfred larson <larson83703@msn.com> To: norcal@rootsweb.com Sent: Wed, April 14, 2010 11:00:45 PM Subject: Re: [NORCAL] 1870 voter registration I searched many variations of "Great Voter Registration for 1870" on SFGenealogy.com. and missed all times.
