James Alvin Carlin was born ca. 1875 in Nebraska. He appears in
Bakersfield, CA, for the 1910 Census, in which he listed his place of birth
as Nebraska. He was married to the former Anna Hemmy, and worked as
a fireman for the Southern Pacific Railroad.
Mr. Carlin's twin sons, George Joseph Carlin and Thomas Joseph Carlin,
were born Sept. 9, 1909. James and Anna were divorced in Bakersfield, CA,
about two years after the birth of the twins. Their grandson, Dr. Ken
Carlin,
is searching for information about them; Ken's email address is
KCarlin(a)teleport.com .
Ken would also welcome guidance as to how he might continue his
research: where to go, what to do, how to do it. If you're willing to help,
please contact him.
