I also posted this on Genforum.

I was wondering if anyone with access to California sources or newspapers can find a specific Obit for me. The person I am looking for is one Stanley/Stanly Sudol. He would be my great uncle. In my Great Grandmothers obituary it simply says "Survived by a brother Stanley Sudol, California"

I found a Stanley Sudol on the Social Security Death Index for Los Angeles. Born May 6 1915 Died June 25 1991. If there is anything listed in his obituary about other family, I would love to learn about them.

This is a picture of my great-aunt and her second husband - Paul & Florence (Butler) Singler. The writing on the building is German and says "Deutsches Haus," and the flag appears to be displaying a swastika. But the location looks to be California. (They were married, lived and divorced in California). Might anyone know where they are and what type of building this is? So far Internet searches have provided no information. I can be reached at hornchrissy@yahoo.com. Thank you.

Marguerite Frances Lewis

wewhitley — 27 Jul 2008 10:31:50 GMT

I am trying to find some information about my grandfather's first wife. Her birth name was Marguerite Frances Lewis and she was born I think..... in August of 1923 and lived in Bell? Cordova? Anaheim? California.... I don't know if she is still alive but after marrying my granfather who was John Joseph Spicer around 1940, she married later on to a man with the last name Young, so I am assuming that if she is still alive or didn't re marry after that then she is still listed somewhere as Marguerite Frances Lewis Young. I haven't used this site enough to know how and where to find everything, but I was wondering if anyone could help me with perhaps where I could find a birth ceritifcate or death certificate or at least the date of her birth and if she is passed that date also.... I am hoping to find this information and possibly who her parents were.... but i don't know where to begin, if you can help i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks alot!!!

MARRIAGE LOOK-UP: James K. Dobson & Veda Rose Bower

schoony156 — 26 Jul 2008 5:26:09 GMT

Grandson seeking the marriage date of my Grandmother, Veda Rose (Relyea) Bower, and my Step-Grandfather, James K Dobson. Probably married in California about 1928-1930. My Grandmother divorced my Grandfather, Freeman Cleveland Bower, about 1920-1925 probably in Idaho. She moved to Grimes, Colusa County, CA about 1925 with her youngest daughter, Dorothy Ann Bower, where she worked as a cook for ranch hands.
My Step-Grandfather, James K Dobson, was married to my Grandmother's sister, Nellie Belle (Relyea) Dobson, and in 1920 they lived in Vallejo, Solano County, CA where he was employed as a butcher at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo. In 1925 they were living in Dixon, Solano County, CA. Nellie Belle Dobson was killed on 24 January 1928 in an auto-bus traffic accident near Woodland, Yolo County, CA.
From the above facts and timelines, James K Dobson and
Veda Rose Bower married between February 1928 and 4 April 1930 when they were shown living together with their children in the 1930 census in West New Plymouth Village, Payette County, Idaho. Both are now buried in Parkview Cemetery, New Plymouth, Payette County, Idaho.
Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to locate their marriage record and marriage date.

Looking for my uncle born July 25, 1967 in San Diego

angrdenaca — 2 Jul 2008 4:25:40 GMT

Hi,

My mother's mom gave birth to many children, one of whom she gave away without naming him on any records. It is my understanding that she did not do any formal adoption, but simply gave him to a freind or neighbor. They lived in San Diego County, though I'm not sure exactly where. My mother and grandmother are dead, as is the listed father (who is NOT really the father) so I am pretty stuck. My grandmother's name was Georgia Irene Himbury (married:Byers, then Huffman). Any help or ideas are appreciated!

Thanks,

He had other children by the names of Dominic, Joseph, Michael,Maragrita,and Lena. I was told that Josephine Greco married a Armando Vasallo in San Franciso in the 1930's.

Who Is This Man?

Sio59 — 27 Apr 2008 10:53:00 GMT

Can the California community please help me? I really need to discover the identity of the man in the photo which is on my public family tree found under LILLE LYNCH. Lynch was Lille's maiden name and she was born 1887 Templemore Co Tipperary.
I am desperately seeking this man's name as I can go no further in my research on my G.Aunt Lille.All I know about the man is that he was American and his occupation was a tennis pro/coach working in a Movie Studio in California.He did coach Douglas Fairbanks Jr and I have a photo of the two together on a tennis court.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Moreno Family

ntoledo189 — 22 Apr 2008 5:22:49 GMT

Hi my name is Nati
I’m researching relatives for my family tree unfortunately I have not been able to fill in much on my father’s side. I know that my Father Ricardo Moreno was borne in El Paso Texas on 8/1/1924 to Natividad Rios Moreno and Alberto Moreno ( originally from Mexico). He was the third child. He had an older sister named Maria M. Moreno born in 1921 she was married in Texas and had a couple of children. My contact with her as a child was minimal so I don’t know any of there names excepted I think her husbands name was Henry. My Father also had two brothers that live in Los Angeles California, an older brother named Alberto Moreno born 1923 and I believe he had an estranged son Named Alberto Moreno jr and a younger brother Salvador Moreno born in 1928. They have all past the three brothers in Los Angeles and the sister in El Paso. I am just looking for more pieces to my puzzle of were my family started from so if you have any information I’d love to hear from you. My E-mail ntoledo26@yahoo.com

Marriage of Edward Wilcox to Georgia ........? - 1920's

lesdebe — 29 Mar 2008 11:16:12 GMT

I'm trying to locate the marriage of Edward Wilcox to Georgia ..............?.

Edward Wilcox b.1890 (in Australia), lived in California from about 1910, including the 1920 Census, however, the 1930 Census has him living in Oregon, with wife Georgia b.abt 1903 CA, indicating being married about 1928. Records after that Census have him living back in CA until his death in 1962. His obituary indicates no surviving relatives.

I would like to find his marriage to Georgia, and then find out what ever happened to her, or if there were any children?

Maybe he was married in Oregon, but I thought I would try the Californian Board first.

Thanks

These ladies were daughters of Francis M. Carter and Mary nee unknown. Alice born Iowa about 1876, and Pearl probably born Idaho before 1900.
Both were in Idaho at death of father in 1917, but in Los Angeles at death of brother in 1942.

Looking for descendents of Mary Frances Mitchell, born IL

blondie4091 — 7 Feb 2008 6:25:41 GMT

Mary Frances Mitchell was born in IL abt. 1913 to parents Harry Mitchell & Mary T. Collins. They migrated to Santa Rosa,CA sometime bet.1920-30.
Occording to her mother's obit. 1962 June, she was survived by a daughter Mrs. Frances Hart of Berkeley, CA.
I have a photo taken 1940's IL of a family visit home. On back is written Mary, Francis & Naomi. I'm assuming that Naomi, who looks to be age 7 was the daughter of Mary Frances Mitchell-Hart.
If any of this sounds familier to anyone, please get in touch. Mary Frances was my father's cousin.
