I started researching years ago and I had to stop for a while because it was taking up too much of my time. Our family was so huge and my grandmother had 15 kids. my hertiage is in Spain where my sister & I were born. My sister & my nephew and family & I went to Spain after my parents passed away to visit the relatives we still have there. I have a few double cousins because 2 sisters on my grammas side married 2 brothers on my grampas side. I started doing research again a couple of years ago and a grentleman in Spain actually did a book on families that came from Spain and other countries to Hawaii that the U.S. sanctioned that if the people from these countries worked in the sugar cane fields in Hawwii for 3 yrs. they could come to the u.s. legally or go back to their country . The book sold on Amazon and I bought one and it is amazing. He even on the front cover put a picture of my grandparents with some of their kids at the time.

It does take a lot of time.  I have some charts to put together for the Brown Family; which is my Dad's Mother's side of the family.  I hope to get back on track to finish that piece.  It is just getting back on the computer.  I send off the pieces I completed to my family.   Here is a good picture of the Indiana Tabacco Farm, owned by Joseph Eve, my Dad's Father.  Joseph came to Woodland California to build our home on 6 North McKinley.  This was taken August 23, 1942.

Yes, a dear frined from Utah connected me to that history data. Most of my research has been on Ansestory and also from the Indiana Catholic Church, with grave pictures and history.  The photos are the real treasure.  Opens a real book on each person.  Found the cities in France and Germany and the boat traveled to reach America.   What is really amazing is to see the names repeated, within the family plus who looks like current young family members.

Is anyone thinking about going to that combine 1962/61 reunion in August?

Anna Lopez (Northam) (1963)

I have been on Family Search website and it is great. I usually will print out a page put it in a plastic sleeve and put it in a binder. 

Marilyn Millsap (Thompson) (1961)

I have been using the free LDS database called "Legacy" for several years. It has lots of great features. I've got a database of over 300 relatives on my computer.  There are also some great searching options out there like "Find My Grave", and "Find My Past."  There is also a Legacy FB page which I have just joined, hoping to get some search pointers from.

This is a very serious situation we are faced with Russia, and it is worldwide.  We could be faced with a World War in a minute.   Pray that all government officals are using great diplomacy, along with prayers.  Do hope a bright person like Churchill would resolve this.

I see that Steve Taylor died he was one of the people that gave all, I wanted him to be mentioned on this forum.

Jim Taylor (1964)

My brother Steve Taylor past February 28th. He is finally free of the miserable hand that Vietnam handed him. Will truly miss his sense of humor and his kind heart.

Theresa Eve (1964)

Very handsome picture of Steve Taylor.  Thank you Jim for posting this of your brother.  My condolences to both you and the family.

Noted a picture of Cacheville School, Yolo, California in the very early years posted on Face Book for Woodland; however, that building burned.  I recall Cacheville School at 1959 pictured below.  It was a Spanish Archeticture Building for the main building - which unfortunately is gone.  There was a rose garden on the left of the main entrance.  Also, adding the Safety Patrol:  Smokey Rico and Jack Andrade.  Smokey and Jack also took care of the American and California flags each morning and end of the day, 

Becky Knight (Tobitt) (1961)

Thank you, Theresa, for the pictures of Cacheville School! The second picture was of the "annex" that was completed when I was in 4th grade (1952-53). That was the year we had seven teachers, the last being Mrs. Yvonne Wetzel! Your Dad became our principal after that. The third picture was of the "new wing" that was completed before I was in school. My Mother, brother and I would take walks in the summer evenings and walk by the building of this addition. Mr. Robert Barberi was the principal then and he showed us where the different classrooms would be. It housed the cafeteria and the multipurpose room that served as an auditoruim when the walls were opened up. My 2nd grade class was held on the stage and Mrs. Ester Hull was our teacher.

Becky Knight (Tobitt) (1961)

Ops! just looked at the third picture again. That's the kindergarten room. My 4th grade teacher wanted that position and took it when the first kindergarten class was enrolled. Her name was Mrs. Margaret Longmire and my brother Delbert Knight was in that first class.

Theresa Eve (1964)

Thank you Becky for your historical, first-hand knowledge.  Glad to learn what you hold.  It was such a great school for everyone in that town of Yolo, and the farmland community.  I need to drive back over to Yolo to see the streets and remaining small landmarks, like the wonderful Library.  

Theresa Eve (1964)

Here is a picture of the Kindergarten inside and out.  This was when Bonnie Wetzel was the Kindergarten teacher about (1958). 

Janeen Aubrey (Vick) (1965)

My Mother, Lucile Aubrey,  was a teacher for many years at Cacheville School and I always went to help her set up her classroom.  She let me decorate it the way I wanted each season and at the beginning of each year.  She taught kindergarten thru 6th grade I believe thru the years.  i loved it when she taught 6th grade because I was in 6th grade in Woodland Dingle School at the same time and loved it when she brought home the answer books she had as a teacher.  I had to do my homework but then she would correct it with me from her books.   I got good grades that year. I met several of her students from being out there with her and going to the dances.  I still have some of those same friends today.  Cacheville was a great school.

Teresa Eve: "they say you can't go home again"- so I don't want you to be disappointed, but the old lovely Carnegie library of Yolo has been taken down. The lot north of it (where Brian Jenks lived) was completely stripped and a new, expanded library with parking lot, is under construction on both lots. It took MANY years to get this all to happen, but the new facility will be a real asset to the community-even more wonderful than before...

Wait, what? The library was torn down? As I understand it, it was just renovated and added to? My mom was the librarian there for a bit and would not be pleased. I thought it had protected status. Say it ain't so.
