Sorry folks I have to reply to this one, ANYONE who doesn't want us talking about occupants of Nevada County (since this stupid rule was applied to that board also) or miners during the goldrush days shouldn't be wasting their time on this board. The whole purpose of these boards is finding a link to someone who may have known or worked with or lived with your ancestor. SO ANY OCCUPANT of Nevada County or the GoldRush era belongs on the board because if he worked, lived or accidentally walked into my GrgRgrandfather then that makes him close enough to be FAMILY in my book. I'm not looking for your family, I'm looking for MINE. You don't like seeing other names, then SKIP the dang list. AND YES, I'm holding back my temper because of idiots who don't use their brains when compiling rules that render a genealogy board USELESS. Enough said, Colin Brooks (just in case you got the name wrong the first time)
