    1. McClelland/Hudson connection
    2. Ken Hudson
    3. Hi all, Looking for any descendants of Buchanan McClelland who married Elizabeth Bower/Hudson November 24, 1882 in Sonoma Co., CA. I have found one son, Raymond, born December 28, 1887 but there may be as many as three more older children. This was a second marriage for Elizabeth, having been married previously to David Alvin Hudson. The first marriage produced four children. A recently discovered photo taken in 1887 shows Buchanan holding a child about 1 1/2 years old and two young boys. Sonoma Co. records do not show any children from this marriage but the 1910 census shows Buchanan living in AZ with Raymond. Elizabeth died in 1894. The photo was taken at the Hudson Santa Rosa ranch house. Buchanan and Raymond show up in Los Angeles Co. in the 1920 census. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    1. Cemetery Obliteration in Progress...
    2. Sue Silver
    3. Hello all, A small cemetery in El Dorado County is in imminent danger of total obliteration. To see more about the EL DORADO HOUSE CEMETERY, the cemetery of an 1850s era roadhouse on the old Placerville to Sacramento Road (part of the original Immigrant Road for wagons coming into to California from over the Plains), go to this link: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ca/state/El_Dorado_House_Cemetery.htm There is also a page of photos showing what has recently occurred. If you have cemeteries in similar condition, I would certainly like to know about them. Sincerely, Sue Silver, State Coordinator California Saving Graves www.usgennet.org/usa/ca/state/

    2. Karla Everett
    3. LOS ANGELES EXPRESS, Monday July 15, 1907 STATE SNAPSHOTS Whittier is to start a campaign to kill off all the untagged dogs of the town. Buy your sausage now! Alamitos' sugar factory is getting things in shape for turning out a bumper crop of the saccharine sweetness. The lid is on at Chino, and the thirsty ones can no longer hope for anything stronger than pop or lemonade. The lima bean raisers up around Santa Barbara are said to be rolling in wealth this season, and automobiles are being purchased with reckless abandon. Newport Beach now believes it is rid of all its blind pigs, but these pernicious creatures have a most provoking way of regaining their eyesight when least expected. A Pasadena blind-pigger named Shirk has been sent to the pen - a place where Mr. Shirk can't. 25 YEARS AGO TODAY (From the Express of July 15, 1882.) Richard Gird of the Chino ranch arrived overland this morning. Tracklaying is now being pushed with all possible speed on the California Southern railroad, toward Colton. A. Wheeler of Los Angeles has been appointed teacher for the grammar department of the Westminster public school.. Eight foreign vessels are now lying in the harbor at Wilmington, discharging coal for the Southern Pacific railroad. The telephone system of San Bernardino county is now extended to Redlands, a new place springing up near Riverside. It is stated that a large number of persons are leaving Calico City on account of sickness. The hot weather and the bad water have had much to do with the epidemic. Calico probably never will be a good summer camp. H. J. Woollacott of this city yesterday shipped a lot of wines to Grand Rapids, Mich., for medical purposes. It was all the Los Angeles product. Gen. J. R. Brierly has been appointed collector of the port of Wilmington. B. Flotte started yesterday morning to visit his family and his many friends there. He hopes to return here in seven or eight months. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

    1. Griffith Park History
    2. Karla Everett
    3. I've been researching the family of Patrick Garcia (b. 1890, Los Angeles). Patrick married Eva Moreno (b. 1899, Los Angeles), the daughter of Jesus Moreno (b. 1851, Mexico) and Visitacion Feliz (b. 1860, Los Angeles), daughter of Anastacio Feliz (b. 1822, San Diego and died 1884, Los Angeles). After Eva died in 1918, Patrick and their children began to, or continued to, live in the home of Eva's mother, Visitacion Feliz Moreno (this according to the census). I have recently learned that the Garcias lived in a house at the entrance to Griffith Park. This would have been in the 1930's and 40's, if not earlier. So, I'm fumbling in the dark, here. I know that, currently, one enters Griffith Park at the Riverside Drive and Los Feliz intersection. This is quite a distance from the area where Rowena and Los Feliz intersect (or nearly intersect, depending on the map - I was on Los Feliz several years ago and I thought I remembered that the two streets intersect). I've searched the internet and books I have and I can't find any sort of history regarding the entrance, or change of entrances, to the park. Any old maps I've been able to obtain of Los Angeles, don't include areas this far north. Does anyone have any specific history of Griffith Park or can someone recommend resources more specific than I've been able to find on the internet? Any suggestions will be gratefully welcomed.

    1. SB 1059 re: Historic Cemeteries
    2. Sue Silver
    3. Greetings, As originally written SB 1059 included a provision that requires the county tax assessors to utilize a postcard method to contact cemetery authorities who file Cemetery Exemption Forms to receive tax exemption on cemetery properties. After the Bill was introduced I contacted the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee to inquire about adding something that might help prevent the historic cemeteries from being sold for delinquent taxes. Three years ago I had contacted Dean Andal of the Board of Equalization with the same request. With his help, we had started to work on developing some language that could be added to the Revenue and Tax Code. Someone at BOE dropped the ball and we never completed it. This time, however, the committee's consultant, Martin Helmke, and an attorney with the BOE, Rose Marie Kinnee, responded, and we were finally able to have something added that I hope will help, even if a little. It is not perfect, but it is a start. Since we did not have an existing definition for "historic cemetery", we chose to have this apply to cemeteries that began to be used previous to 1900. This, of course, includes a great many of the historic cemeteries in the state so that this new code section could feasibly apply to thousands of cemeteries. The sections within SB 1059 applicable to the cemeteries are 256.6 and 256.7, which reads as follows: 256.7. (a) Notwithstanding Sections 254, 256.5, and 256.6, an affidavit claiming the cemetery exemption, as provided for in subdivision (g) of Section 3 of Article XIII of the California Constitution and Section 204, is not required to be filed in order to receive the exemption for any cemetery that exists, or is discovered to exist, in the unincorporated area of a county for which the assessor is unable to identify the legal cemetery authority, as defined in Section 7018 of the Health and Safety Code, that may by law claim the exemption for that cemetery, if both of the following apply: (1) The cemetery was used by residents of the state prior to the year 1900. (2) The cemetery is no longer used for current or future interments. (b) Any tax, penalty, or interest imposed upon a cemetery subject to this section shall be canceled pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 4985) of Chapter 4 of Part 9, as if it had been levied or charged erroneously. Only time will tell if Sec. 256.7 will be of any benefit, but had it been in place in 1998 when the Cold Springs Cemetery in El Dorado County was about to be sold for delinquent taxes, perhaps the El Dorado County Pioneer Cemeteries Commission would not have had to claim "ownership" of that historic public cemetery through acceptance of a Quit Claim deed. In the past other historic cemeteries have been sold to satisfy delinquent property taxes. By law, the public acquired title to those cemeteries even though the boards of supervisors of the counties where they were situated did not officially claim the public's property. If your county has any "abandoned" cemeteries or cemeteries that may have no legal cemetery authority in attendance of it, you may want to contact your county tax assessor to advise that office that the cemetery may not be subject to taxation.

    3. Is anyone else having a problem with their Online Census Subscriptions from Ancestry. Com this weekend? I can bring up the Census Records, have no trouble viewing and reading them, or going from page to page on them. However, every time I click on "Exit Full Screen" and return to the first page, my pc is freezing. It then goes back to my desk top immediately. It will not let me view another Township at all. I am having to go back online, back to Ancestry. Com and start all over again. Just wondering if anyone else is having a problem. I have emailed Ancestry. Com, but no answer as yet, guess they are closed for the weekend. This has been going on since Friday evening, very annoying. Joyce Brookings, OR

For more information, please use this link: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ca/state/Sac_Memorial_Dedication.htm Please send your questions to the email address listed on the announcement. Two years ago, the Board of Supervisors of Sacramento County created the Cemetery Advisory Committee under the Office of the Coroner. The Committee reports directly to the Board of Supervisors and advises the board on the needs of the historic cemeteries in the county. If you have time to attend these dedications, I'm sure you will find it worthwhile. Sincerely, Sue Silver, State Coordinator California Saving Graves

    1. October Legislative Report
    2. Nan & George Wolf
    3. Hi: I am forwarding the October report from Iris Carter Jones concerning bills which may affect genealogical research at the CA legislature. I still have a terrific desire to picket Sen. Jackie Speier's office with a sign saying, "I Want The World To Know My Maiden Name!!!" Iris has done a magnificent job and is now wishing to step down from her job as legislative analyst for our CA Genealogical Alliance. Any takers? Regards Nan Wolf [email protected] -------------Forwarded Message----------------- From: Iris Jones, INTERNET:[email protected] To: Master List 2, INTERNET:[email protected] Date: 9/27/2003 12:43 PM RE: October Legislative Report LEGISLATIVE REPORT - October 2003 Considering the state of the State, there is no wonder we have little to report. At this point, we have not located any current legislation which might prove to detrimental to any historically important records, so important to researchers. The California State Genealogical Alliance [CSGA] has been unable to find a chairperson for the Legislative Watch Committee. Several people have shown an interest, but have decided not to take the job. There has not been anyone available to check this sessions legislative bills. There are a dozen or so people who are interested in helping but do not feel qualified to take on the leadership. I have agreed to stay on as an advisor only. [See Below] In January and again in July I did a cursory check and found nothing of concern. In listening to the news and reading the papers, I have found several bills that got my attention and were questionable. I did read the bills but found no worrisome language at that time. We can hope, with everything else going on, we will not be facing any problems. CSGA secretary sent a request to the Department of Health Services requesting a seat on Vital Records Protection Advisory Committee which the State Registrar is required to appoint as per Senator Speier's SB247 passed last fall. We have several qualified local genealogists who could and would represent the genealogical community on the committee. On the National level, the Social Security Number Misuse Prevention Act S228/HR637 we have been following has had no action since earlier this year. I continue to follow these bills.---Legislative Advisor, Iris Carter Jones ------------------------------------------ CALIFORNIA STATE GENEALOGICAL ALLIANCE REPORT from Cath Trindel on the Legislative Committee: We would like to welcome new committee member Liz Stookesberry Myers, of Los Alamitos, CA a member of Questing Heirs. As we work at forming this committee we invite all those who think they might be interested in helping out to check out the California Government website where you would help monitor legislation <http://info.sen.ca.gov/>. Use the search feature to find bills relating to privacy, records access or any other buzz word you can think of. If you find something you have not seen reported, or activity on a bill that might be of interest, send a message to all of us on the CSGA-L or directly to a board member if you prefer. I think you'll find it is an easy search and the more members keeping an eye the better off we are. It would also be a great help if we could get a record access report from each county on the implementation of SB247 and it's impact on vital record access. Implementation has not been uniform and it would be helpful to the genealogical community to know the best way to approach each county record office. Again send a report to the list or to a board member. ALL POTENTIAL LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE MEMBERS and other interested CSGA members are invited and URGED to attend the CSGA Board Meeting Oct 17 in the SMCGS Library (dinner $10 each lasagne [meat & vegetarian] /bread/salad/dessert/coffee /tea). Contact Cath at [email protected] or 56 Orchard Ave, Redwood City, CA 94061-3720 by Oct 10th if you plan to attend. --------------------------------------- SUBJECT: HISTORIC CEMETERY LEGISLATION - Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2003 Since 2000 I have been involved in trying to get California legislation enacted that will help the plight of our state's historic cemeteries. In 2000 a Bill was introduced and passed both houses of the legislature (only 5 NOE votes) that would have created the California Historic Cemetery Commission. That commission would have cost almost nothing but would have contributed greatly to the review and assessment of the status of our historic graveyards. In the Fall of 2000, GOVERNOR GRAY DAVIS vetoed the Bill even though his office had been consulted as to the Governor's preferences on how the Bill should have been framed. Lately I have been working on portions of existing Bills to ensure that the needs of the historic cemeteries that could be addressed through such Bills are considered. I will be sending out information on a couple of items once they are signed by Governor Davis - if they are not also vetoed by him. If there are any of you who see a need that may need additional legislation in order to assist the historic cemeteries, please contact me direct at [email protected] I will try to advise you or otherwise determine if or how such legislation might be addressed. I'd like to thank those who in the past have sent me emails of support. Our California ancestors all repose in California cemeteries. The vast majority of the cemeteries in the state are historic and pre-date the 20th century. It is important that we provide protection and preservation of these places of rest. Together we can make a difference.
