Bernal Heights in 1907

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

Notes: All spellings are verbatim; multiple entries reflect multiple spellings given in the sources.

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.

Note: In 1907, women appear not to be listed in the directory unless they were employed or widowed.
