[or-roots] lost family?

Mon Sep 24 17:28:28 PDT 2012

I have an Uncle who is listed as being buried in two cemeteries. One in Portland and the other in San Francisco. It is my belief based on research that he is physically buried in SF but when he was moved in the '60 the movers left his headstone in Portland.

I had done some checking and the Frank Elder who died in Kern County, CA in 1976 is also buried in Kern County.

Diane; 

Not having much luck with your Frank Elder, it isn't helping that there is a fictitious Frank Elder that is the protagonist of a popular novel series.  Searching "Frank Elder" Paisley mostly turns up a bunch of stuff from some "Diane" Lady.  I did find a 93 year old Coach in buried in 2006 in Chino, CA who could have had a son Frank old enough to be your guy, but they only mention two children, no Frank. The fact that there are lots of Mormon Elders who happen to be named Frank has not helped my search either.

has a Frank Elder, but he is a farmer in 1880 and anyway I think he is George Franklin Elder, you should check that page out if it isn't one of yours, a lot of Elders there.
