I am currently trying to locate letters, diaries and memoirs written by gold miners that are held in private hands, and I am wondering if you might have any relevant material you'd be willing to let me take a look at. In exchange, I'd be happy to send you whatever information I can find about your ancestors. I can be reached at danjdavy@hotmail.com Thanks, Dan Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
