YOU HAD TROUBLE IN SAN FRANCISCO, I HOPE YOU NEVER HAVE TO TRY TO GET INFORMATION FROM ALAMEDA COUNTY, I CAN NOT BELIEVE THOSE PEOPLE. I WAS TOLD IF THERE WAS NOT A STREET OR SOMETHING NAMED FOR THE FAMILY , THEY HAD NOTHING ON THEM. I TRIED THE MISSION AND WAS TOLD THAT NO ONE HAD TIME TO BOTHER WITH ME, I INSISTED AND WAS TOLD "IT WILL COST YOU" I SENT THE MONEY SHE REQUESTED BUT THAT WAS 6 WEEKS AGO AND STILL HAVE NOT HEARD ANY THING. THIS FAMILY CAME TO ALAMEDA COUNTY IN 1850 AND MOST OF THEM DIED THERE . SOME OF THEM WERE BORN IN THE VALLEJO ADOBE. BUT THERE IS NO HISTORY OF THEM AT ALL. I AM NOT TOO IMPRESSED WITH ALAMEDA COUNTY.
