Bernal Heights in 1907

Thanks to the volunteers at SF Genealogy and Distant Cousin, who dedicated themselves to scanning thousands of pages.

This is an ongoing project -- we hope to compile info from all the existing city directories to build up a comprehensive picture of Bernal Heights as it evolved.

Notes: All spellings are verbatim; multiple entries reflect multiple spellings given in the sources. Also, in 1907, women appear not to be listed unless they were heads of household or widowed. You will have to search other sources to find out exactly who lived in your home.
