Clara was my great aunt, sister to my great-grandmother Cora. After she married Charles I lost track of her in the Yukon. Any other info you might have would be appreciated. I do have a picture of her when she was about 3. She was born in Moorhead, MN. to Peter Sloggy and Jennie Flannagan Sloggy in 1882. I don't have any info on Charles or any family Charles and Clara had so I welcome anything. Thanks again, Mark

I have found several references to him. From the book Galena and Gold "Williams Creek, a tributary of Duncan Creek, was staked by Frank Williams, Frank Cantin, C.J. Lelievre, D Parent and O Letourneau. During the first week in March, 1903, the miners on Duncan and Williams Creek contested the baseline survey done on those creeks by Raoul Rinfret of the Dominion Land Survey. the Duncan Creek petitioners wrote in their complaint that according to said survey, many of us are thrown out of ground which we legitimately staked and recorded. Rinfret's survey was indeed in error and the survey was redone" The above mentioned book was published by the Mayo Historical Society.

Pat, You're at the wrong end of a very long river!!! :) This list is for the lower Yukon area. You might want to try the CAN-YUKON list at Rootsweb. That list covers Yukon Territory, Canada. Good luck! You might also try addressing some of your questions to the Dawson City Chamber of Commerce.

Good morning! I am trying to find the missing puzzle pieces to a family mystery. My husband's cousin in Norway told us that her uncle had told her a story about Johan and Lars Jorgensen in the Gold Rush. They were in a partnership with a German on a mining claim that was doing very well, and they had many men working for them. There was a tower on the property where the partners could oversee the operations. Johan was gone on a trip with the dogsled team, and when he returned, Lars was dead and the German and the gold were gone. A supervisor at the site told Johan that the German had pushed Lars from the tower. January 30,1899: Johan's application for placer mining claim #19886 at Dawson. Claim at Hester Creek was marked January 18. Lars died December 20, 1899 at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Dawson. Cause of death: Fall down shaft and Peritonitis. He was listed as Louis John Jorgenson in Yukon death register 1898-1903. Age 40 years. Johan was listed as his brother in Hootalinqua. This answers some questions, but raises others. Questions: Were there any other cemeteries in Dawson besides the YOOP in 1899? Is there is a listing of burials at the YOOP Cemetery? Was the RCMP stationed in Dawson in 1899? I wonder if Johan would have contacted them when he returned to find his brother dead and the partner and gold gone? Is there still a Good Samaritan Hospital in Dawson? Thank you, Pat Jorgensen, near Seattle.

Posted on: Yukon Koyukuk Area Ak Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ak/YukonKoyukuk/7 Surname: Andrews, Pitka, Sirosky, Sherosky ------------------------- Mary Andrews was born near Koyukuk or Nulato. Sometimes she was called "Big Mary" because she was tall. Mary was the mother of seven boys. The first five somehow drowned in the Koyukuk River. Gil Andrews and Edward Pitka were the only two remaining. Mary died when Gil was 7 and Edward was 4 about 1929.
