Dear Jim Thank you so much! I've been away most of today (Sunday) and didn't get home to the computer until after 11pm. It looks like my family, for sure...I have so many dates of arrival, it's very confusing. Oh, I hope I can get a copy of that article, but The Sacramento Union has been defunct for many years. I need to find out the best way to locate that Sep 1852 edition! Thank you again. I really appreciate you and your efforts to help others as well as myself.
