Ellen Carlin
The first Carlin in California (1863)
Earl Carlin
The second Carlin in California (1878)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
Ellen Carlin is the first Carlin, from among all Carlin family lines,
whose name appears on any California record or document.
Documents verify that Ellen Carlin married A. B. Atwell on April 20,
1863, at Santa Rosa, CA. Santa Rosa is about 45 miles north/northwest
of San Francisco. This may make her the first Carlin in California.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
Earl Carlin was born in California, March 4, 1878. He is the second
person, from among all Carlin family lines, to have his name recorded
on any California records or documents. Unfortunately for the history
of Carlins in California, Earl subsequently emigrated to Iowa. He died
in Nov. 1968, at age 90, at Altoona (Polk Co.), IA. Source for DOD:
SSDI.

Why do I care about this?
Why should you?
Well, it's sort of like this. <g> Our "Carlins in California" webpage
has been extensively revised and updated, with new names, some new
information, a new page background that's very "California," and some
new and interesting California graphics that make the page a bit more
vibrant and interesting to read.
The URL is
http://www.attorney.carlin.net/states/california.htm
It took me about five hours to find, modify, edit and write the code
for this webpage, not counting the time involved in updating the
infomation. Nothing unusual in that. But I ask: Please be kind! <g>
Visit the page.
With best wishes,
Fred
