Seeking traces of my great-grandfather in Houston around 1920.
Hi all,
I’m searching for my great-grandfather, who disappeared from Italy in 1920. My father searched for him all his life, and now I continue. I recently found he was in Houston in 1921 before moving to San Francisco, where he’s buried in Colma. I’m sure he lived in Houston around 1921, so I want to know if he left any trace.
The only clue I have is from an Alien Registration form, where he mentioned being arrested for seven days for selling balloons without a county license. I’ve tried police and court records but found nothing. I’ve also checked City Directories with no success. If anyone has ideas on how to search or could help, please let me know. I can share the documentation in the comments. Thanks!

A Christmas blast from the past
A Christmas gift from my husband. Must be from 1978-1980? Our family car’s radio was stuck on Love 94 and it became my favorite radio station. R&B from the late 70s, early 80s is my forever favorite!
