I hope this is an appropriate message for this group. A friend of my son's has been doing an internship at the Haas-Lilienthal House Museum in San Francisco this winter and he reached out to me for advice on researching some of the people associated with the house. Unfortunately, it's been a busy winter and I haven't had time to give other than advising him on some basic searches and his internship is now at an end. He says the museum is very committed to documenting the servants' lives, and would they would love to have some genealogical know-how and help. I think this would be a great opportunity for someone who wants to practice their California research skills. Contact information is below. SF Heritage at the Haas Lilienthal House is looking to do genealogical research on roughly 35 domestic servants who served the three generations of inhabitants at the home from 1886 to 1972. Much preliminary research has been done already, but an in depth search and study needs to be completed.
