Matthew came to California from New York. The records can show the road.
This entry is the end of the story. The older records hold the rest: the census pages Matthew grew up on in New York, a draft card, the family’s move to California. With both parents' surnames here (Shepard and Butler), we can usually reach the generation before too. We search them one name at a time and send you what we find, read in plain English, with every fact cited to its record and where to look next.
