[NI007] Pam remembers....
Baby Fran had Whooping Cough as a child. Sid was the one that stayed up with his daughter, camped out by her bed and helped her to breath during this time. Ilma slept in her own bed, but Sid slept next to Fran's bed.

[NI010] Born at Rice Memorial Hospital at 10.35 p.m.

[NI014] 6 lbs 3 oz - 18 1/2" Born 7:28 AM

[NI015] Copy of baptismal certificate (Vol 28, Folio 67, #379) from the Parish of St. Mary of Guadeloupe in Torreon Mexico, dated 1924, lists parents as Ventura Romo and Leonore Davila (Romo); paternal grandparents as Camilo (Romo) and Maria Transito Noriega; and maternal grandparents as Nicolas Davila and Francisca Garcia.

[NI019] Came to the U.S. with "Tio Pedro".

[NI019] He later brought his wife Claudia and her brother Victor Carrillo and his family.

[NI019] per Ramona Romo 10-1-95

[NI020] Claudia and her family grew up in Aquitzi, San Andres.

[NI020] Per Ramona Romo - 10-1-95

[NI028] Was a Molder at a Steel Foundry. Had been doing this for 15 years at his death.

[NI028] Was in the country for 15 years at his death. Age at death: 51

[NI028] Stanley D. Romo's baptismal certificate lists Ventura's father as "Camilio" not Emilio.

[NI028] Family rumors say that Ventura was orphaned at an early age, and went to live with "relatives".

[NI028] He was a gambler. Was caught and arrested several times at "Cock" fights.

[NI028] This was told to Michael Romo by Stan Romo during his lifetime.

[NI029] Son Stanley's baptismal certificate lists her father as Nicolas Davila

[NI029] Death certificate lists father as Hijinio Davila

[NI029] Never spoke of her husband after his death to his grandchildren.

[NI029] Would not allow a deck of card into the house because of her husband's gambling.

[NI031] Was Stan Romo's Twin - Died when family maid did not sterilize the bottles correctly and the baby's milk developed food poisoning.

[NI031] Per Mike Romo as told to him by Stan Romo

[NI035] Attended Junior High in Oaxaco, Mexico

[NI039] Per her Death Certificate:

[NI039] In state for 10 years in 1939. She was 33 years old when she died

[NI041] The shock of her son-in-law's arrest and the search of their house (at which she was also living at that time) by the police caused health problems and she died shortly thereafter. Her health was so bad and the family could not pay the bills which also helped her health decline.

[NI041] Per Mike Romo and told to him by Stan Romo.

[NI041] While she lived in Torreon she owned a restaurant there. In 1982, during a trip to Mexico, the Stan Romo family drove by her old restaurant. Rochelle Romo may have pictures of that restaurant.

[NI042] Murdered in Torreon during the revolution. Youngest son was born after his death.

[NI042] He was well to do.

[NI042] He owned a merry-go-round.

[NI043] He was a priest at La Plaza Methodist Church on Olvera Street from 1946 to 1960. Well liked by his congregation. Kept up on current events. Active in the Olvera Street community.

[NI043] Attended Methodist boarding school in Gardenia.

[NI043] Was married to Ester. There is a picture of the two of them at the church from the churches 50th anniversary party. We are not sure how old they were at that time. We are not yet sure when the church was established nor when the 50th anniversary would have been.

[NI043] The church is putting together a retrospective of there church and will keep an eye out for all pictures of Nicholas and/or Ester that they have. Current minister George Cisneros will let us know.

[NI043] This was all told to Michael Romo who went and talked to the congregation at the La Plaza church on 11-24-96.

[NI043] Hijinio Romo says:
He spoke to the present minister of the Methodist church on Santa Ana Blvd. in Watts and Nicholas Davila also was a minister there before he went to La Plaza. 11-26-96

[NI151] Pam remembers....
Louise was sleeping downstairs next to the sewing room months before
she died. Pam thinks that she was slightly ill, but not very ill. Ilma tells the
story about how while she was visiting her mother, Louise stated that she
had heard thread bobbins rolling on the floor. (There is some kind of
superstition among milliners about bobbins unwinding along the floor).
Louise kidded Ilma about hoping it did not mean that Anna was going to die.
It was only a few months later when Louise, still only slightly ill, died
unexpectedly.

[NI153] Pam remembers.....
Grandma Ilma related this story about how Anna had gotten a proposal of
marriage when she was 83 years old, and how Anna chuckled that had she
known she would still be alive at 91, she should have said yes.

[NI153] Grandma Ilma said that they went to the closest Christian Church within
walking distance from the Steiner Street House. They did not drive. 1900 Census Info. - Vol: 32 ED: 158 Sheet: 5 Line: 92
Co: San Francisco, CA
Anna Schmidt came to this country from Switzerland in 1856
Anna is listed as a widow, with no occupation given
Anna owned and lived at 603 Steiner Street, San Francisco, CA

[NI153] Ilma Bernhard left a Post Card of Deutsches Altenheim von San Francisco, Oakland, California and wrote on the back "This is were my grandma bought her way into this old peoples home". Anna Schmidt died in this home when she was 91 years old.

[NI153] Another post card from Old folks home. On back "This is where Grandma Schmidt lived. Moved here in 1917 after we sold our home in San Francisco. 1917. Grandma Schmidt is Ilma's grandma, Frances great Grandma and Pamela, Penny and Robert's great great grandma."

[NI153] Newspaper Articles found in Ilma Bernhard's old 5 year appointment diary are:
"SCHMIDT - In Oakland, at Altenheim, January 14, 1926, Anna Schmidt, beloved mother of the late Louise Krembser and devoted grandmother of Mrs. F.S. Bernhard, of Los Angeles, a native of Zurich, Switzerland, aged 91 years.

[NI153] I did have a chance to check on Martaler. The name does not appear in the two early directories I mentioned above. (1859 or 1861/2) However, I checked in a surname dictionary for Switzerland, and find that the only spelling is MARTHALER, and there were quite a number in Zurich, in fact, that's the largest concentration. the "thal" or "tal" part of the name means "valley" in German, so the implication is that the family originally came from the valley of the Mar (wherever that is).

3rd Ward June 18, 1870 Page 299 Lines 6-8
Schmidt, Ignacis Age: 38 Occupation: Pickle Manufacturer
Born: Prussia Citizen of US Both parents foreign born

[NI164] Amongst the leading manufacturers ... in this city is the house of Schmidt and Fretz whose establishment is at 119 Commerce below Davis. Here everything imaginable in the line of Pickles, Vinegars, Catsup, Sauerkraut, etc. is made. The Vegetables used in the manufacture of the Pickles are grown in .... and are of the best possible kind. The Sauerkraut made by this firm is becoming quite an article of consumption - 600 barrels in lots of it having been recently shipped by the Central Pacific Railroad to a Chinese camp. The firm has been established since 1863, sells only in bulk, and is a good representative of a most .... of industry.

[NI164] Per Gordon McDaniels 7-9-1996:
The company he had was known as Schmidt and Fretz. There are many listings, and guess where he lived? At 603 Steiner. The last listing is in 1881/2. In the 1882/3 directory there is a listing for "Schmidt, Ignatz, estate of," and in 1883 Anna is listed as a widow living at 603 Steiner. So I'd say he died in late 1881.

[NI295] This is where this chart breaks down. We know about Johan but we are not sure how he attaches to the new family information that was given to us by Arlene-Caroline de Fallot.

[NI295] I Maximillian Joseph, by the grace of God King of Bavaria, certify and declare herewith openly, after we learned from the ducal Lachsen Weimarscer Secret Finance Councilor, our beloved and faithful Johann Godfrey Gemeiner, possessor of the Noble seat (residence) Lowenhof in Lower Sendlingen, the Court boundaries Furth and Lattlern and the Alladien Castle St Marienkircher in Lower Donau (eirkle?), how his honourable generation of the same origin, already in the year one thousand seven hundred fifty two (1752) were registered as of the old nobility Gemeiner of the Dukedom of Bavaria besides
in the possession of the formerly Upper Pfalgishen Country estates Bernau, Ritzmansdorf, Shonberg and Wetzelsberg, in distress of the disastrous event of the Thirty Year's War to leave the country and were obliged to emigrate to Regelsburg (Radisburg). So bless we the happy moment of our Government where we in the name of the Fatherland in the fatherly arms once more can embrace returned children and to heal old wounds from one side not deserved, from the other side not caused, and since this our beloved faithful Secret Finance Councilor Godfrey Johann Gemeiner, his fatherland twice already found, once as he with anticipated confidence for more than 10 years on his acquired estate Lowenhof resided, the other time as he was appointed Governor of his native town Radisburg, it so gives us pleasure of great pleasure of satisfaction to reinstall the same again in the class of the Bavarian Nobility, and through this new bestowal of such honour, of our entire Kingdom to be recognized. What therefore, our beloved loyal the Secret Finance Councilor Johann Godfrey Gemeiner always glorious, we again and our Kingdom, through the thankful efforts of his descendants, may remain useful, we execute herewith by the authority of the Kingdom, confirm and bestow the same, together with all
his wedded heirs, recently the rank of Noble of our Kingdom, we wish him to use all herewith connected honours and preferences, sign himself Nobler von Gemeiner of Furth and Lattlern, also use the following Family Shield with the coat of arms everywhere:
Composed of an Oval form, constructed in a downward blunt point in four
parts, with a German Shield in the form of a heart in which first on top and
third below a red or ruby painted field a suspended silver milliron hangered
shows in the second top and the fourth below, the blue or azure colour
divided shield, a two-leaved Oaktwig with the acorns showing. On the three
hilled green ground of the black and silver divided heart shield stands a
figure of a man dressed in white in the black part and black in the silver part,
his head covered with a Burett, a turned-up throat collar with lapel and gold
buttons; in his right hand a silver milliron, holding in his left hand an Oaktwig,
in forward turned position. Over the two sides of blue and red Helmetcover
surrounded shield reset an open titelt gold crowned Thurmieshelm with a
jewel attached out of the same crown between two rights of blue and red and
left side of black and silver cross divided Elephant trunk, out of which opens
on golden rods at right a white and black, on the left a red and blue Reider
Pendant flowing, in the heartshield already described figure of a man with
white and black suit, in his hands a milliron and an Oaktwig grasping, till to
the abdomen forth growing.
This may be known to all Crown and Government officials and to all our higher and lower State's Civil Servants, and to all our subjects generally, that they our beloved and loyal Johann Godfrey Nobler von Gemeiner of Furth and Lattlern and his descendants mo alone as Nobles recognize, but also where it is their office, or their duty demands near by participate, while it is our Will that every one who acts contrary to this bestowal through the (fical?) of our Court be called to Court and there as well because of violation of our order as for ignorance well deserved competence of a third person to Public and Private Satisfaction together without all indulgence should be punished.
To confirm all this, we sign our King's name and attached our Great Royal Seal.
Thus it took place in our Principal and Residence City of Munich, the first day in the month of September one thousand eight hundred and thirteen (1813) in the eighth (8) year of our Kingdom after Christ our beloved Lord's birth.

[NI358] Hi Penny!

[NI358] Sorry it took me so long to write but life is a little hectic. My oldest just started first grade and the twins are in pre-school. For the first time in six years I had a little free time and I went overboard signing-up for this committee and that activity. Now, between the kids activities and my committee work, I am busy all day .

[NI358] I'm not sure what I can add about our families, but I'll try. I grew up in New York and as a kid, we spent alot of time with Marilyn, Mel, Neil and John (Alan as a kid). I know my grandmother Elsie, and Sadie were very close as children. They also lived close to each other after they got married and had children. My mom has lots of great memories of herself, Taube, Dorothy, Marilyn and Trudy. When Trudy moved to California, my mom drove cross country with her. Her intent was to also move to California. But my mom returned to New York.

[NI358] My earliest childhood memories are of visiting grandpa MA in Port Jervis. These were really the only times we saw the extended family (mainly my grandmother's bothers, sisters, and their families).

[NI358] I knew about other cousins that lived in California. We almost moved to the Los Angeles area in 1969, but my dad's job possibility did not work out. I do remember cousin Rachel visiting New York and staying with us for a short time. Rachel is a year older than me and a year younger than my sister. Over the years, we have made a few trips to California, mostly to visit my Aunt Taube in San Diego. The last trip was about 8 years ago, before we had kids.

[NI358] I got married in 1981 and moved to New Jersey in 1984. As you know We have three children. After we moved to New Jersey the rest of our families soon followed. My mom lives about 20 minutes away and loves spending time with the grandchildren. My sister is about one hour north and is also very busy with her three kids.

[NI358] That's the update. It was nice to here from you. Sorry to here that your mom is not well. Good luck with your genealogy chart. Keep in touch!

[NI358] Regards,

[NI358] Karen and Ira

[NI406] One thing you could do is write (or call) Woodlawn Cemetery in Everett MA. It's
huge and has very good records. Some of the information available on their
records is date of death and who now "owns" the burial plot. This information
has given me the married name of several of my female relatives. From the
date of death you can request a death record from the city or state and contact
the newspaper for an obituary. The obit may also give you married names of
the daughters.

[NF161] 1964 Christmas card to Beatrice Duncan.

[NF161] Dear Bee - We hope you are well and will have a pleasant Christmas.
Howard has been seriously sick and in bed 5 weeks. He is just now up and convalescing trying to gain back some of the 15 pounds he lost. He has been so terribly exhausted his blood count was down to 72 and should be 92 or plus. At once Dr. started with medication and Howard responded to it and is doing nicely. He had 3 ailments at once. Pleurisy, bronchitis & tracheites, which is inflammation of the wind pipe and very painful. Dr. came nearly every day. I did all the nursing. August and part of September I had my 2nd attack of respiratory infection. Surely glad we were not both sick at same time.
Last July we celebrated our Golden Wedding anniversary. Gave a dinner party for 30 fields. It was a lovely occasion. the table was beautifully decorated with yellow & gold flowers - even the green beans were shot & sprayed with gold. A friend presented us with a 3 tiered cake which was beautifully decorated.
We have had lovely weather, with a little rain mixed in. but for us always welcome.
I do hope you will drop us a line and let us know how your health is.
Our best wishes for 1964
Love Bess & Howard
