This entry is to serve as a temporary holding place for the Ainsworth family while it is sorted out who was a member of the prominent Oakland dynasty, and who just happened to have the same last name.

Here below are all the Ainsworths from the favorite bedtime reader, the 1887 Oakland Directory ... perhaps a strike-through should be placed on those that turn out not to be direct relatives.
