I have had numerous help notes on the McBEAN family of San Francisco
and would like to thank you all.

I have now learned, that according to the 1906 Directory - Atholl McBean
was the Secretary of Gladding-McBean Pottery Co., and his father, Peter
McBean was the President.

I have also learned that Atholl McBean was born Feb 11, 1879 and died
Dec, 1968 in San Francisco. Not sure where he was born, as I am not
sure when his family moved from Lancaster, Ontario.

What I now need to know is - are any of the San Francisco Newspapers
indexed?

How do I get to look at the census for San Francisco? Would these be
available through the Family History Centre?

Any further information would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards
