Next up in the celebration of the 15th anniversary of the Seton Shields Genealogical Grants program is a look back at the San Francisco 1906 Earthquake Marriage Project, spearheaded by by Ron Filion and Pamela Storm Wolfskill, who received a grant in 2006.

To commemorate the Centennial of San Francisco’s Great Earthquake and Fire of 1906, the San Francisco Assessor-Recorder’s Office worked with Ron and Pam to present an historical exhibit based on Ron and Pam’s internet project, The San Francisco 1906 Earthquake Marriage Project. The Assessor-Recorder’s Office planned a variety of media coverage for the exhibit, which was displayed at City Hall for a month. The grant helped Ron and Pam create and stage the exhibit, in order to bring their internet-based article, database and family stories to a wider audience.
