On episode 13, Julie & Art travel the streets near downtown Los Angeles in search of the earliest homes where Julie's grandparents lived in the 1920s and 1930s. They were the first folks on her dad's side of the family to move way out west to California. In Search of 3 Early Family Residences Having found records of the early family residences through census records and public documents, we drive the streets of Los Angeles to find, take photos, and walk by the three earliest homes inhabited by Julie's grandparents. Pictures from this day of exploration can be found on our blog post recapping this visit: Exploring East L.A.
