Lisa, you can verify land ownership, county deeds are public record. Maybe that might help you get a grip on exactly where his ranch was in Imperial Valley. Growers might have, ok, probably did, belong to grower associations. Some of these, like Sunkist for oranges, published little newsletters/magazines and would features large and small stories about members.

Them thar farmin' groups can be a gold mine. :)

>Family stories have it that my great-grandfather, Melvin A. Anderson, sometime between 1929 and 1963 had a farm/ranch in the Imperial Valley. I have never been able to confirm this. Not much information has been found on him, usually on his wife, Gertrude Wilson Anderson.
