Kings County was formed in 1893. Prior to that time it was part of Tulare County. If you are looking for the records of people who lived in Kings County prior to its formation, check Tulare County. I have several links on my Kings County Genweb pages.

Donna Ferris

GOLDSMITH, Frank b. 12 Mar 1880, d. 21 Jan. 1946 Modesto, CA. All Frank's records indicate he was born in
'Kings Co.' however it wasn't created until 1893, so I don't know for sure where to find the additional information I
need on his birth and parents. He is buried at the Hills Ferry Cemetery, he m. Annie Pearl StCLAIRR abt. 1900.
They had 3 dau. Winifred, Vera and Dorothy. I have found the family in Hanford, Madera, Modesto and Newman.
I believe Dorothy(my gma) is buried at the IOOF cemetery in San Luis Obispo. Can anyone help me find exactly
where Frank was born and/or anything on his parents? Donna Ferris msmissy@oro.net
