My grandfather, James George was on January 8, 1940 in

Texaskana, Arkansas.

My grandmother, Mattie Parham was born on May 21, 1944 in Eutaw, Alabama. At age

seven, her father moved the family to Birmingham, Alabama.

My grandfather, James moved from Texaskana, Arkansas with his family first to Los

Angeles in 1942 and then to Monterey County, California in 1946.

Mattie moved from Alabama to San Francisco, California in 1965

In 1965, James moved to San Francisco to work for the telephone

company and to later go to San Francisco State University.

In 1971, the family moved to Los Angeles so that James could attend

UCLA.

He graduated with a Master in Engineering and got a job with Southern California Edison.

With that job the family then moved to La Puente, California. They later moved Covina so

they could buy a house in 1973. Finally they moved to Ontario, California in 1990 so that

they could own a bigger. Our family has lived in this house ever since.
