Posted on: Yukon Koyukuk Area Ak Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ak/YukonKoyukuk/10016 Surname: Hamilton ------------------------- Could you please look up my grandfather's name, James Edward Hamilton. He left his family in Salem, OR on 2/12/1897, leaving a note saying that he was going to the Alaska gold fields to make his fortune. I remember seeing something in an old newspaper from the Yukon about several miners including a James Hamilton but can't find it now. Thank You Larry Briggs
