Hello.I thought I would post the surnames I am researching to see if any people who have joined recently might also be researching the same surnames. It would be great to find anyone with whom to share back and forth. So here are some of the CA names I am researching and their main counties: WEST/LESH (Stanislaus Co.) TRIPP/DAVIS (Tuolumne Co., Calaveras Co., San Joaquin Co.) TUPPER/NOBLE (Tuolumne Co., Santa Clara Co.) Cottrell, also with this line LAUGHTON (Calaveras Co., San Joaquin Co., San Francisco Co.) BENDER/RHODES (San Francisco Co., Sacramento Co.) SCHMADEKE (San Francisco Co., Calaveras Co.) LANYON (Humboldt Co.) Thank you, Stephanie in Denver
