Frank Charleston, b. 1856 in Sweden, along with his wife Emma and their children, Alfred, Frank, Allen, Magnes & Leon are listed in the 1900 Galveston, Texas census.

I've been researching the 1900 Galveston Hurricane and this census was taken about three months before the Hurricane hit. Hopefully this information will be of help to others who are also researching the victims and survivors of this Hurricane.
I am not related to this family, just passing on this information. The link for the site is listed below.

Charles Charleston of Chicago

datagoddess — 29 Jun 2001 8:51:45 GMT

My gggrandfather was Charles Charleston; records of him first appear in the 1850 Chicago Census. According to a handwritten copy of his obituary, he had 7 children 'married and living in Chicago' who survived him, including my ggrandfather, Edward Theodore Charleston. Other children I know about include Charles, Emma (who married a man named Edward Bush), Casper (in the Civil War Navy), Catherine, John, and Mary. He was involved with the volunteer fire department and also was in the home insurance business.

According to family lore, his name was not really Charleston, he spoke several languages without accent and would not tell anyone where he came from (this is always attributed to the idea that there were some people after him). His birthplace in the 1850 census is given as Germany.

Although my ggrandfather (Edward T) had only one child, my grandmother Catherine Sabina Charleston, I am sure there were other children in her generation. I hope to find some other descendants of some of these other children; maybe we can put family legends together and come up with a real name, birthplace, or anything.

Thelma Charleston Dalton

born2achieve — 5 Nov 2002 3:18:07 GMT

I have several (50) pictures that belonged to Thelma Charleston Dalton (birthdate 1/4/1904) that I obtained from an estate sale (her first husband John's) about 10 years ago. From these pictures, I was able to piece together much of her life story. I obtained a copy of her application for Social Security which lists the names of her parents. Father: Charles Edward Charleston Mother: Bertha Bahrs. Thelma was born in San Francisco and worked in Oakland at Dalton Brothers, Ltd. - 467 12th Street at the time of her SS application. From the pictures it appeared that she spent most of her adult life in Fresno. It also apprears that she was married twice. Her first marriage was to John Krueseff (spelling) where they adopted a son, Richard. Her second marriage was to Walter Hass (Sacramento). She died in Sacramento I believe in 1997. If anyone knows any information regarding Thelma's family. I have some fantastic pictures of her that I have been saving for her family. She was true beauty and I feel she wants me to save these pictures for her family.
