Said person, my great grangrandfather that is, was difficult to find in the obits. of his time (wrong date for some reason), so I posted his obit. as well.

Therefore, there was not doubt as to who he was and where he lived, etc.

It was sheer thievery plain and simple as he was not married to a woman in Iowa named "Annie". He was a native of San Francisco and died in Oakland. His life really was that simple.

Anway, I'm done with ancestry.com for now. They were useful for awhile but as of now, they are pointless and a waste of money, at least for me anyway.
