Geraldine Ingersoll In a message dated 10/31/01 11:01:16 PM, [email protected] writes: << Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2001 08:59:07 -0700 From: "Elizabeth Lawrence" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Hi Trail Fans I have added a new page to my site entitled: "Sidetrips along the Trails." It is not complete, but there's one "sidetrip" that I thought many of you would enjoy. It's a "Grandmother's Letter" written by the Research Curator at the Churchill County Museum, Fallon Nevada. You can view the "Sidetrips" page at: http://www.over-land.com/sidetrips.html And a plug for the museum: The Churchill County Museum is an incredible facillity at Fallon along Highway 50 in Nevada. For some of you that are searching for records of ancestors traveling the California Trail, crossing the Forty Mile Desert, and ending up in the gold fields or heading north to Oregon, there should be something at this museum that would be of value. They have newspapers, records, etc dating from the early 1860's, and will do "free" research for you, if you have specific requests. The museum is open every day, with no admission charge. Here's a link to the research information for the museum: http://www.ccmuseum.org/Programs/research.htm >From that page you can naturally see what else the museum has to offer. As more information is added to the "Sidetrips" page, particularily specific to Oregon/California trails, and travels through Wyoming, Idaho, and Nevada, I will let you know. Thanks!
