There is a family plot with the last names Baker/Donovan located in Holy Cross Cem.
Colma, Ca.,with several family members.
One of the names on the stone is Gertrude Hess.
Unfortunatley for many years no one knew who this was ,after getting the records from Holy
Cross and using
Ancestry.com I was able to find out that Gertrude Hess was/is as the
records show the daughter of Mary E.Donovan Demmings who is the sister of Thomas F.
Donovan ,my grandfather...
Mary Donovan Demmings and Thomas Donovan also had 3 other brothers and 4 other sisters :
Charles,John,Robert,Gertrude,Annie,Rose and Helen (sometimes called Nellie)
I dont know if you looked at my tree but please feel free to do so... so even thought
there is a wide gap ..a VERY wide gap in ages ,Margaret Hess Carver could/would be my 2nd
cousin and you could/would be 3rd cousins...
Please feel free to contact me at wvhzd1(a)sbcglobal.net..
Vic Donovan
