Jamie, Onto your question - I have had great luck at County Museums. Also, try the library and of course the County Records office. These three I have come to know well in El Dorado County where I do my research. Have a good drive and hope you are success in your efforts. Hey, one last thing, try the phone book. You never know who might have stayed around the area. I have met several very distant relatives. Again, good luck, jeni
