SFgenealogy James Edgar is credited with being the first department store Santa Claus in 1890. It was probably a very popular idea. We found a San Francisco advertisement for Santa Claus at Raphael's in 1892. Holiday bonus points for the first person to tell us what is at the Raphael's location now.

SFgenealogy Are There Any Unmarked Graves In San Francisco?

Halloween is later this week and this Good Question may be something you haven't thought about. Are there any unmarked graves in San Francisco?

It is so completely absurd that California natives do not have the right to know their roots. I do not understand how a so called privacy law that inhibits people from researching their own heritage can get passed. It just doesn't make sense.

Most researchers tend to focus on census and vital records. But, there is a wealth of other resources out there. SFgenealogy has tried to highlight these in the databases we post online and tips we share.

Some of these would include: city directories, school yearbooks, Newspaper articles, cemetery lists, land records, sanborn maps, biographies, ... See Moremilitary records, local histories, voter registration, club & society lists, hotel guest lists, church lists, etc. to name a few.

It's our intent to inspire researchers to examine every piece of information (genealogical or not) available for information about their elusive ancestors.

Where would one find the first name of the mother? The only information about the mother on the birth index is her last name, which most likely would not be the same some 39 years later.

Peri Ann Lane Muhich Can you tell me how I might contact someone at SFgenealogy that would be willing to help me with a special project? I'm looking for information on a woman who in 1873 was the principal at Ocean House School.

SFgenealogy We transcribe a lot of graduate lists and alumni notes at SFgenealogy. Afterwards, many of the yearbooks are donated to local libraries, including the San Francisco Public Library History Center. (In fact, we believe we have the largest collection of transcribed yearbooks online.)

If you are looking for a picture of any... ancestor(s) who were teenager after 1900, a yearbook might be your best bet!
