Just because La Paz County http://www.rootsweb.com/~azlapaz/ is the "newest county" and not formed until 1983 does not mean there is no history, nor records for this county that was once part of Yuma County. The communities, past and present, of what is now La Paz County have a rich and wonderful history. I have add new items to the La Paz County AZGenWeb site. You will find under the heading of "MINES" the beginning of a "Mine Claim and Deed Index" as well as the start of a "directory" of mining claims. The claims and index are for the year 1863 so far. I hope you have all checked out the AZGenWeb Gravestone Photo Project. This project is a wonderful way of preserving your ancestors gravestones and your family's gravestones for ever. I hope you will begin adding your photos of La Paz http://arizonagravestones.org/index.php/cid_7 cemeteries soon. As of tonight we have over 2100 gravestone photos for the whole state that have been add to the various counties. I hope you all had a Wonderful Thanksgiving! Constance
