Looking for information that may tell me the ancestry of my late grandfather,
Carlos Carranza, Sr., who was born near Guaymas, Mexico, and settled in
Stanfield, Ariz., where he died sometime in 1969. Family insists he was Yaqui,
but I've never been able to document it. Haven't had time in all these years to
obtain birth certificate--in fact, it may not even accurately indicate heritage;
my mother is Rachel Carranza and she is listed as "white" on my birth
certificate. My uncle is Carlos Carranza, Jr. Another uncle is Richard Carranza.
Cousins include Christopher Carranza and Carlos Carranza III. Please help. Any

Darby Marjorie P. Squires
My goal is to be able to write for the death certificate of an ancestor, Dewey
Lee Darby , who moved to AZ with his wife after he retired from the US Navy.
There are indications that they lived in both Gilbert and Apache Junction, AZ. I
am aware that I will need the _exact_ date of death to be able to request a
death certificate. Unfortunately, I do _not_ have that exact date. The Social
Security Death Index indicates that he was born 02 July 1898 and died in Mar
1971. The address that is given is 85220, Apache Junction, Pinal, AZ. There is
no street name given. Unfortunately, no death day is given in this database. An
obituary is the only way I can think that I might find the day of his death.
Unfortunately, this would mean having someone search 31 newspapers (each day in
March 1971) times the number of different newspapers that serve that area. (1)
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find the day of death? (2) If
newspaper search is my only option, where can I find someone who does newspaper
research? MPSQUIRES@prodigy.net

moved around. My Mom was Maria Deloris (Delois as some spellings) Rozel. She and
my dad married around 1976-1978. She married my dad, Joe Daniel Sanders and I
was then born in Pinal County on March 29, 1978. I would also like to find out
about her birth certificate - her birth date was June 2, 1960. I do not know if
I have any other family. My mom died around 1992-1994, after being hospitalized
from a diabetic coma. I would like to find out about getting a death
certificate, too. I do not know what county she was born in or died in. I could
not find her on the Soc. Sec. Death Index under Maria Rozel or Maria Sanders (I
also checked Delois, Deloris Sanders and Rozel). Since my dad died when I was

anyone can send. Thank you so much!

Drew BJ Drew V
I'm interested in finding a source for more information on my Great-great
grandfather (and namesake) Benjamin Joseph Drew, known as "Joe" Drew
and likely the owner of Drew's Ranch (sometimes called Drew's Station) just
north of Contention in the 1880s. This ranch was near the spot where the famous
stagecoach robbery/murders happened that started the feud leading to the OK
Corral. Drew came from Oregon, possibly following his son, Edwin Porter DREW,
who operated saloons and a liquor store in Tucson, Florence, and Casa Grande. He
was married to Sallie (sometimes called Sarah) C. Hunt, and died in 1885 in
Pinal County. His son Edwin was married to Elizabeth Collingwood in 1889 in
Florence, where she and an unnamed baby girl died in 1893. Edwin then married
Katherine Josephine Meehan in Florence in 1984 and had two children, Katherine
Mercedes Drew and Benjamin Joseph Drew. Edwin died in Los Angeles in 1921 but
was buried in Tucson at the Evergreen Cemetery. Does anyone have any ideas on
places to dig? I'm interested in newspapers, land and mining claim records, and
local histories. I have received some great information from the DLPR archives
folks. Thank you very much! BJ Drew V 6 Merrywood Ln East Lyme, CT 06333

Howe Marci Duryea
We have been making inquiries at the AZ State Archives and the Genealogical
Society with no luck. We would appreciate any help, advice, tips to sources,
etc. for the following search: Albion Howe, my missing great-grandfather. Born
circa 1859 in Massachusetts or New Hampshire. Died some time after 1907,
probably in Arizona. Married to Emma Jane (Knight) Howe, also born back east.
They had five children. Lived in Superior, Wisconsin from at least 1891 but
probably longer (1891 was the first year Superior had a city directory). Albion
was active in the politics of Superior: he was an alderman, president of the
city council, and was appointed Acting Mayor in 1895-96 when the presiding mayor
was impeached for taking graft from the saloons. Albion seemed to be considered
a highly moral sort of man. Albion remained in Superior, working in the mining
industry as well as politics (we see his occupation listed as "miner"
only once; the rest of the time he is superintendent of various elevators down
near the Lake Superior docks. We are not sure if it was the iron or coal mining
industry.) We last see him listed in the Superior directory in 1906. In 1907 and
1908 we see Emma Jane at the same address with some of her (now grown) children.
In the 1909 directory she lists herself as "widow, Albion". She may
have been lying to save face. We found no probate records in Superior, so that's
my hunch. Family rumor has it that he left his family in Superior and "ran
off with the town prostitute," but that may also be an exaggeration of Emma
Jane's. She was a staunch and very active churchwoman, and another rumor has it
that it's one of the reasons Albion left. My grandfather John (Albion's son)
graduated high school in Superior in 1906 or 1907, and began working almost
immediately for a coal mining company in the area. My father remembers my
grandfather telling him that Albion wrote a letter to the family requesting that
John visit him in Arizona. This likely happened in 1907, 08 or 09, but may have
been later. We do not know. It would not have happened after John was married in
1912. The visit did take place, but my father does not remember what city or
county John said he visited. We have no other knowledge of what happened to
Albion either during or after his son's visit. We don't know if he was living
alone or with someone. We don't know what his occupation was in Arizona, though
something connected with mining is likely. We don't know when or where he died,
or where he is buried. Can anyone help? marcoise@wwa.com

Phy Daniela Moneta
I am researching the PHY family that moved to Florence, AZ in the 1880s. The
progenitor of the PHYs was Aquilla Phy who was born in TN. Two of Aquilla's sons
moved to Arizona, Josephus PHY who married first Tiny CAVANESS, and second,
Josusita REBAGO, and my ancestor, James Calaway PHY whose wife was Caroline
READY. Josephus who came to Arizona in the 1860s died in Florence in 1888 in a
gunfight. James Calaway and Caroline came to Florence in the 1880s. Their
children were James Franklin, Sarah, William Isam, Dorcas, John M., and Nettie.
Some of these children married Florence families with these surnames: WHITLOW,
MERRELL, COLLINGWOOD, OCHERT. I am interested in the PENN family also because my
ancestor, James Franklin Phy, moved to Santa Monica, CA in 1905 where the PENN
family had moved some years earlier. dmoneta@home.com

Landers, Bright Debbie Carignan
My grandfather was James Bartlet Landers, born 9-3-1898. His father was Auther.
We know his mother was half indian. I am not certain if she was Apache. I do
know they recieved a land grant from the US Government, because she was indian.
I was told that she and Auther Landers had that government land taken from them
by the government.. A point I can't say I understand. Sometime after my
grandfather was born they moved to Tucson. James had a sister named Mildred,
older. My grandmother Dorothy Maude Bright, married James in Yuma. The date was
approx. 12-35/36. They were married for approx. 36 years. If you can help me
find any facts on the Landers family please let me know. I have a picture of
them on the old homestead. James was a large part of my family and we know next
to nothing about that side. Do you know if the census data is intact? I am near

died in Arizona and was buried in a cemetery in Eloy, AZ. Other family members
lived in the area, Theo and Earl WOOD among them. If anyone can give me
information about the Eloy cemeteries, particularly anyone named WOOD or YATES
buried there, I would be most appreciative. I don't have the date of Fannie's
