My great-grandfather was James Herod Anderson, and he did not get promoted to Lieutenant until July 1910, so that photo could not have been taken the previous January.

Possibly at Cypress Lawn Memorial Park in Colma, California, where many San Franciscans were buried, although there is no record of him there. His brother and fellow policeman Marcellus is interred there.

I am an elementary school teacher in Lynnwood, Washington, and am very interested in information on any Anderson or Curtis families in Virginia in the early 1800s.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
