Cai Maver's Family History

Obituaries

These are the obituaries that I have managed to collect so far listed in alphabetical order by last name. They are mostly from the San Francisco Chronicle. I have copies of all of these from the original (microfilmed) newspapers so let me know if you would like a copy of any of them. Obituaries have proven to be invaluable to my research as they often list information on many generations of relatives as well as occupation information or past living locations. If you have access to obituaries for any family members, please let me know. Thanks.
