Description
Widow of the late Superior Court Judge, Jordan L. Martinelli, Genevieve was born in San Rafael, the daughter of Patrick Henry Cochrane (Marin County Assessor in the early 1900s) who was also born (1869) in San Rafael. Genevieve relates her family history, her school days, amusements, marriage to Jordan Martinelli, and her family. She describes her father and the Cochrane family and early days in San Rafael and Marin County. 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.
