Census Images for Descendants of Thomas McClurken (1756 - 1845)

I had collected over 140 images of census pages for descendants (and their spouses) of Thomas McClurken. I needed to organize them for my own understanding. Therefore, I uploaded the balance to my website and indexed them to an outline descendant report of Thomas. While I was at it, I linked it all together in my FamilyTreeMaker file. The census index page is available at this link.
 I had about 81 census image pages for descendants of Mathew (brother of Thomas) and these were added to the existing reference page for Mathew. I hope these links help someone.

I recently obtained seven pictures of the Beverly Hills house of William & Edna Kemps. Google allowed me to determine the address to be 633 N. Foothill Road.

The slideshows are linked into the biographies of William Henry Kemps and Edna Hammond Wright Kemps. The direct links to the slideshows are: 633 N. Foothill Road Beverly Hills, CA; 1565 Hillcrest Avenue Glendale, CA; and 5305 Harter Lane La Canada, CA.
