Just goto the Website Index and type the key words "Surname Index" to
get hot links to over 700 pages of Surname Indexs. Or use a more specific keyword or words related to your

being extracted by Jim Faulkinbury C.G.R.S. to replace records
lost in the 1906 earthquake and fire - he has done 1869 and
1875-1884. We add another year every 6 or 8 weeks as it is
extracted. This will reach 400,000+ names in a few years.
- About 113,000 Die Vorfahren (The ancestors)
Pomeranian and east German database by the late Myron Grunwald, editor of
Die Pommerschen Leute (The Pomeranian people). This will be updated once more in april or May

An Overview of Some FEEFHS Web Site
Databases
Selected Surname Databases on this Website:
- San Francisco Call
(Newspaper) Vital Records extraction restoration project
- currently about 121,500 persons (1869, 1875-1884). The civil
records from about 1868-1969 until mid 1905 were destroyed in the
1906 earthquake and are just now beginning to be replaced by this
major extraction project. This website is the only place that
this database appears.
This extraction project adds 13,000 or more new names (one year
of vitals) to this database every six to eight weeks. It will
eventually be about 400,000 persons when it is completed. It
will take several more years to complete. Many residents were
born in Central or Eastern Europe. San Francisco was the "New
York of the West" as the major immigration port in California
after the 1849 gold rush. Extractions are by Jim Faulkinbury,
C.G.R.S.
