I'm trying to find anything I can on Joseph Colombet who immigrated from France on the ship Alphonse N. Cezard that arrived in San Francisco on 28 Feb. 1852. I do not know where in northern CA he settled. My gg grandfather, Auguste Bellon was with him and 12 years old at the time. I lose him until about 1862 when he was freighting in Utah. Alexandre and Augustine Genesy came to CA after 1857 and were in Virginia City, Storey County , NV in 1863. They had a daughter that is listed in the census of 1880 as having been born in CA. That would have been abt 1861. Don't know where in CA they would have been, been feel sure it was northern and that they were all involved in the gold fever. If anyone can give me any help with any of these three surnames, I would very much appreciate it! Susan Bellon
