It sure has been quite, I am starting to think I am no longer on the mailing list? This was sent to me and I know it doesn't have anything to do with actual geneaology, but I do believe it has to do with what we find in our searches: The old day's in alot of way's didn't seem so bad, and maybe they were beter. It is quite out there and I sure miss everyones "chatter". Art the site is great, great work and thanks. Jennie Hudson Arata/Bianchetti/Sanquinetti/and many more - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Dirt Roads" What's mainly wrong with society today is that too many Dirt Roads have been paved. There's not a problem in America today -- crime, drugs, education, divorce, delinquency, that wouldn't be remedied, if we just had more Dirt Roads, because Dirt Roads give character. People that live at the end of Dirt Roads learn early on that life is a bumpy ride. That it can jar you right down to your teeth sometimes, but it's worth it, if at the end is home...a loving spouse, happy kids and a dog. We wouldn't have near the trouble with our educational system if our kids got their exercise walking a Dirt Road with other kids, from whom they learn how to get along. There was less crime in our streets before they were paved. Criminals didn't walk two dusty miles to rob or rape, if they knew they'd be welcomed by 5 barking dogs and a double barrel shotgun. There were no drive-by shootings. Our values were better when our roads were worse! People did not worship their cars more than their kids, and motorists were more courteous. They didn't tailgate by riding the bumper, or the guy in front would choke you with dust, and bust your windshield with rocks. Dirt Roads taught patience. Dirt Roads were environmentally friendly. You didn't hop in your car for a quart of milk - You walked to the barn for your milk. For your mail, you walked to the mail box. What if it rained and the Dirt Road got washed out? That was the best part, then you stayed home and had some family time, roasted marshmallows, and popped popcorn and pony-rode on Daddy's shoulders, and learned how to make prettier quilts than anybody. At the end of Dirt Roads, you learned that bad words tasted like soap. Most paved roads lead to trouble. Dirt Roads more likely lead to a fishing creek, or a swimming hole. At the end of a Dirt Road, the only time we even locked our car was in August, because if we didn't, some neighbor would fill it with too much zucchini. ~~author unknown~~

Last month I ordered the information packette from the Amador County Chamber of Commerce. VERY informative, they have done a great job! My husband works for a gold mine here in our area, and I am sure he would be interested in taking the tour. Thank you Jean

Thank you all who responded. I look forward to visiting your area. Jean Hehn

I for one would like to say, that yes a lot of County web sites are being moved. This is happening across the county and not just California. Jean Hehn :)

I really got excited last week -- just about let out a shriek in the archives. After several years of searching, I tracked down the resting place of my mother's great-grandfather, Gregorio Giusto, father of two early Amador Pioneers. He was the father of Clara Giusto, wife and widow of first Biagio Caminetti and then Santi Campi. He was also the father of Maria Battistina Giusto who married Biagio's brother Rocco, and whose son Anthony became a Senator and US Immigration Commissioner. I went to the NJ State Archives in Trenton and found the d.c. for Gregorio Giusto. He died 6 April 1892, age 85, in Hoboken and is buried at Weehawken Cemetary in North Bergen with his second wife, Apolonia. Their son James (Giacomo) (who was born Boston 1850; died early 1887) is buried with them. Gregorio was a hardware dealer, per the dc. It was filled out by his doctor, so just said he was born in "Italy" and left the spaces for his parents blank (sigh...). But, miracle of miracles, Gregorio left a will, drafted in 1889, which named his surviving children, apparently in order of birth. (children by Francesca Patrone, with the first three probably born in the Genoa area:) Francesco ( Francis Giusto of SF) Angelo (deceased, but leaving a daughter Frances) "Maria Battistina married Caminetti" "Chiara widow Campi" (Clara), born Boston ----------- (and children by Apolonia Longinotti, born New York or New Jersey:) Luigi (Louis) Giovanni (but NOT the Amador John --- I finally got a transcription of his d.c. and his father was not Gregorio) Giuseppe (Joseph) Gregorio (Gregorio) Antonio (Anthony) He left a provision in his will for 200 masses to be said for his soul in the first year of his death, and 100/year for the next ten years, so apparently he was either an exceptionally pious Catholic or he was worried about something. It's kind of interesting that at least three children of the first marriage came to California (I don't know about Angelo) but Gregorio and the children of the second marriage apparently stayed on the East Coast.

Hi Folks, Just wanted to let everybody know that I have finished moving the Amador County USGENWeb site off of the rootsweb server and on to the CAGENWeb server, and to please change your bookmarks & links to http://cagenweb.com/~amador/. As I'm sure everybody is aware of, rootsweb was purchased a short time ago by a for profit company and as such, I no longer felt comfortable keeping the site there. This move will ensure that the site will continue be safe, free, non-commercial and ours. Art Michaelis USGenWeb Project Amador County County Coordinator

Thank you for the information Jackie. I will try and get ahold of the correct paper that would list the obits for June 6, 1938. Maybe they can get the records for me at our local library?

Maybe here?? http://www.criis.com/amador/official.htm I was at the county recorders a couple of weeks ago and they were very helpful and friendly. let me look through most all books. some records they had to pull. but I don't live there and won't be back there for a while.
