Bernal Heights in 1907Thanks 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. Click on the street names below to see the files. Some have changed their names: Click here for a guide to Bernal street names in 1907.
