hello everyone, i had received this e-mail, and meant to forward it earlier. i am in california and went downtown today to the la city library. they have some of the city directories in printed form, some crumbing apart on the table and my lap. but all the films are microfilmed. it was very crowded down there today, and could not get on microfilm machine. but the books they had, along with other city directories of the southern california are and other parts of the USA. the info the provided me was very helpful in getting down there, except 5th street and flower street are one way streets. went around a few times before finding the entrance carpark. bye for now, sam-quito ************************************************************************* A message from Sam-Quito Padilla G. at: samquito@nmia.com We need volunteers for the NM Death Index Project.
