Getting Some Surnames

Research Journal #5, Entry 2

I knew that my Great Grandmother was Margaret Jackson. Her father was Thomas Jones and her mother Margaret according to my Grandma. I needed to firm up the names. My Grandmother got confused sometimes and I wanted to make sure that she didn't have her mother and her grandmother mixed up. I decided to get Margaret Jackson's death certificate.

Margaret died in 1965. Her death certificate shows that she was born in San Francisco in 1880. Her parents were listed Thomas Jones and Margaret Kelly. I also learned that Margaret (Jones) Jackson was buried at the big Catholic Cemetery in Colma, Holy Cross.

At least, I now knew my gr gr Grandmother's name was Margaret (Kelly) Jones.
