Description
Born in Stockton, California, Elsie is the great-granddaughter of two of the first Spanish families to settle in Marin. Her great-grandfathers were Don Domingo Sais, Grantee of Rancho Canada de Herrera and Don Fernando Feliz, Grantee of Rancho Novato. Mazzini outlines the family tree and brings the narrative from the 1770s to the present. She describes her early impressions of San Rafael and tells of her work with the Marin County Historical Society of which she was President. From 1974 to 1984, Carla Ehat, with partner Anne Kent, and later Genevieve Martinelli, interviewed a broad spectrum of Marin County's long-time residents, from ranchers to politicians, including descendants of early pioneer families. This program was co-sponsored by the Marin County Free Library and the Moya Library in Ross. The resulting archive, consisting of nearly 300 recordings and their corresponding transcriptions, are housed in the Anne T. Kent California Room at the Civic Center branch of the Marin County Free Library.
