See Family

Charles Alexander See II was born in Canada and came to California in 1919. He came with his wife, Florence, with whom he had three children: Laurance A. See (1912-?), Margaret M. See (1913-?), and Harry W. See (1921-?), who was born after they arrived in the U.S. By 1920, they were living in Pasadena, California and Charles A. See II was working as a druggist in a drug store. At some point prior to her death in 1939, matriarch Mary See moved back to Ontario, Canada, where she was born.

Laurance A. See's high-profile divorce from his wife Elizabeth in 1962 resulted in a landmark community property opinion, written by Chief Justice Roger J. Traynor of the Supreme Court of California for a unanimous court.
