New member introducing myself

Question

I’m trying to get further back in my family tree with the Lovell link.  My great great grandmother was Victoria Eugenia Lovell. She was born in 1867/68 and died in 1901 (Sacramento Ca, USA). Her fathers name was Horatio Lovell, who was from England but also lived in Sacramento Ca in 1901.  I can find nothing more other than an Addie Lovell, but she is on a marriage certificate and nothing more can be found out about her by me.  Would love to see how I connect with DNA relatives through that line so appreciate anything that may help.

Answer 1

Here is a link to a marriage of Horatio Lovell to Mary Adelaide Sherman on February 28, 1860, in Napa, reported in the March 28, 1860, edition of The Sacramento Bee.

Wow what an incredible person to find all of this for me!   There are definitely things there I had not found.  I don’t know why I kept forgetting to check back here but I’m so glad I did.  I’m more grateful than you can know and am going to make sure I try to do some of this searching for others to give back some of the same.  It’s hard work so new eyes can make all the difference. Thank you so much.
