I am doing genealogy research about a man named Gordon McCalister (or McCallister, McAlister, McAllister, McCollister, McCollester, etc.) He was said to have left Ross County, Ohio in the 1840s to search for gold in California. He was successful, but two years after he arrived he was murdered by robbers for his gold. He was supposedly buried in California. I would like to substantiate this story with any sort of documents concerning Gordon, such as a tombstone inscription, newspaper article about the murder, staking his claim, etc. Any suggestions on how to proceed would be very welcome. Thanks so much for any help. Michael Moore mmoore@fgi.net

The Nevada State Archives, in Carson City will have most of these records. Aurora as well as Susanville were caught up in the boundary line dispute and when the Kidder-Ives survey was conducted in the summer of 1863, it was found that Susanville was in California and Aurora in Nevada. Due to such conflicts, as with Susanville I occassionaly check Plumas County records as well as Nevada records due to the dispute. The staff at Nevada archives, however, can provide with you what you are seeking, and if not, can certainly put you in the right direction. And you are correct that Aurora was originally in Esmeralda County, but today is in Mineral County.

Someone awhile back contacted me about the location of this place, which I have since found, practically under my nose. Richmond Hill was located about 10 miles east of LaPorte next to Saw Pit Flat and about a mile to two miles west of Onion Valley. Tim

Hello I had a Charles Goodrich that lived in Manton California in 1900 -1910 then lived near Redding till 1935. I was unable to locate him in any census. I've also had the entire state checked by a professional company out of Evertons magazine. Any ideas at all. Thank You Valerie

Hi April, I can't answer your question-hope someone else will. I do know if you get a chance to go to the NV Archives in Carson City, you will find a wealth of material. They have a large building, all so well organized. And the people there were very helpful and knowledgeable.I was there last Wednesday and it only took minutes for me to find an article in a 1960 Austin, NV newspaper for June 1960. (that is Churchill County) Also, it only took 5 minutes to get her death certificate at another building fairly close by. Good luck, Diane ---------- >From: April Robbins <aerobbins@earthlink.net> > I am looking for the repository for vital records (especially marriage) > from the city of Aurora, NV before 1874............... > Does anyone know if the said county is still in > possession of these records or have they been transferred to another > facility, say the NV State Archives/Library or NV State U?

I am looking for the repository for vital records (especially marriage) from the city of Aurora, NV before 1874. I understand that from 1861 to 1863 Aurora was the dual county seat of Mono County CA and Esmeralda County NV, thus, if the marriage occurred after 1863 it would have been recorded in Esmeralda, yes? Does anyone know if the said county is still in possession of these records or have they been transferred to another facility, say the NV State Archives/Library or NV State U? I also believe that the area of Esmeralda County that contained Aurora became Mineral County in 1883; is this correct?

Hi Carolyn, Thanks. I was mainly interested in the Colusa database....never know when I'll find one of my elusive Smith or Adams names. For some reason they just never were written up in anyone's memoirs of the era and here I would find them fascinating to read about!

Hi Bryan, I just tried to access the free databases...I'm not a member....the site that came up for me has as the first one listed Spokesman Review (Spokane, Washington), Obituaries, 1998-1999 Posted on 8/20/99 Nothing later than that is available. This is the site I tried http://www.ancestry.com/ancestry/recent.asp and of course because of the date the database isn't available to me as a non member. Is there another URL to access the free databases?

Millie, Is there any connection with your John Rackerby and the town of Rackerby that lies near the border of Butte, and Yuba Counties, named after William M. Rackerby who became postmaster Nov, 21, 1892? Laura Tyler
