--> Need Somebody to Help Me in OROVILLE, CALIFORNIA ***HELP!***

Hello,

To find long lost relatives (not heard from since 1925), I need somebody in
Oroville, California, to help me.

Essentially, from feedback by Norwegian relatives, a woman by the name of
Bernice and her husband lived in Oroville, California around 1970.  She is
distantly related to me, and I must find her or her family.  I do not know
her last name, nor the name of her husband (and my Norwegian relatives don't
recall this particular information.)

In a week or so, I'll be getting a *little* more information from my Norwegian
contacts who will send a photograph taken of their house which shows a house
number! (but the street is not known).  There may also be a couple other small
facts (of unknown utility) that will be sent along with the photograph.  But,
as I just said, unfortunately they don't recall Bernice's last name nor the
name of her husband.

So, the help I need is for somebody in Oroville to take the photograph and
drive around Oroville to determine the street name (say by actually finding
the house.)  An alternative approach might be to go to the library and look
at the Oroville city directories from around 1970 (give or take a couple
years) and see if a Bernice is listed -- if found, the house number should
correspond to the city directory address.

Thanks!

Jon Noring

(p.s., my Aunt, who is 94 and in very poor health, and who may not live much
longer, wants to contact Bernice or anyone among her siblings before she
passes on.  We lost track of this whole family (Bernice is the daughter of
John and Ella Smith) after 1925.)
