Dear Socal Listers, I am hoping the message below, taken from a posting to one of the O'Brien message boards, will ring a bell with someone out there. I tried replying to this posting directly as well as leaving a posting on the list - email address <mikos@globalxs.nl> no longer correct and the name is too common to try switchboard.com or 411.com - because this is part of my family. I have added post-ems to all the pertinent CA birth and death listings, as well as SSDI listings, but have been unable to reach anyone. The email address that was connected with this posting was from a provider in the Netherlands - I even emailed them to see if the account was current because even though the email didn't bounce there was no reply after a week, and they advised that the account had been closed and they had no further information. I even had a friend who lives in the Netherlands try to find a listing there for me, to no avail. I even did a search engine search for the names, but there are lots of O'Briens with these first names. Given that the posting was about a year old when I first found it, it is possible that Tim is back in the US or on to another foreign country. My 2 cousins and I have been trying desperately to find a living connection in this line for a couple years without any luck. We have lots of info to share (all the way back to our 3rd g grandparents - Tim's 4th g grandparents - including a ton of information on his g grandfather), if we can just reach Tim, or someone else from this line, in some way. My hope is that, if someone isn't familiar with the O'Briens in question, that perhaps you know a Seekatz relative who might be able to help us make contact. If you are not comfortable sending info re a living relative, please just let them know that we are trying to find them and pass along my message and email address. > Posted by Timothy J. O'Brien on October 10, 1999 at 04:39:14: My name is Timothy John O'Brien, my grandfather's name was Donald O'Brien from Altadena. He was married to Elisabeth (don't know her surname).

They had four kids, Patty (1955) Jeff (1957) me Timothy (1963) and Michael (1964). I am trying to find any relatives or anybody who can give me any info on our family.

1. You might try the Calif. Dept. of Motor Vehicles. They have a message forwarding service. www.dmv.ca.gov a. I'd send letters for Timothy, Jeff, & Patty. If DMV has multiple persons with each name, send as many letters as there are licenses. 2. Check CADI for the father's death cert. 3. Check CABI for Timothy, Jeff, Patty 4. Have CAMI checked for Timothy & Sandra Phil pvc@vancamp.org . ----- Original Message ----- From: Candy_B <cbservices@monmouth.com> To: <SOCAL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2000 11:40 AM Subject: Help needed - O'Brien/Seekatz *****EDITED***** > Dear Socal Listers, > > My 2 cousins and I have been trying desperately to find a living > connection in this line for a couple years without any luck.
