I'm getting dotty, so had better quite. Here is the URL for the site: <http://www.calgensoc.org/> -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Powells at CAGENSOC site Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2005 03:09:55 -0700 From: Mary-Gene Page <mgpage@unlimited.net> To: POWELL-L <POWELL-L@rootsweb.com> There is a website for the California Genealogical Society which has a limited search. The results give you name, birth, and a code. I did a search for the powells and came up with the following names. None of them are mine, but a couple seem familiar from messages on this board, so I'll include the codes for those. There is apparently a fee for lookups, which may be $10 for each name that you request from the search results - although the way things are worded, there may be a $5 fee instead. I don't understand.

For some individuals, name and locality only. For others, complete biography including a photo. Information is found in our collection of more than 50 California state, county and local histories. FRAN: San Francisco residents in late 19th century. Information varies. For all, name, address, occupation. For most, place and year of birth. For some, naturalization information. Marital status of women is often reflected in title (Miss, Mme., Mrs.) or in notation "widow." I have not used their services myself. I did find my grandfather with the code BIO, but haven't made up my mind whether to spend $10 to find out what I probably already know.
