Hi Kellie, I looked up your family from the info below because my family also comes from this area. I was wondering why you have “Emeryville” in your generated report for where he was in 1900? It looks to me that he was in Washington Township, Alameda County, California. I don’t know if you are

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] SPRSI Records

Hi John, I have been wondering the same thing John! I would not give them to these organizations that have taken in the SPRSI and the others (Luso and PFSA) I just don't think they will be interested in sharing the information with people who are searching. This is just my intuition, not ba
