Jackie in Jackson, you are so mean making me tell all my secrets, cheezzzz, well its really no secret, I just went to the library real early and got a copier and copied all the pages that had any information that I felt we could use, that way I can bring it home and fill out the forms that Art made up, and read it over more carefully, it will cost about four dollars a month, but I am committed to this project, and it would cost me more if I had to fly out there to get the information. so thats my big secret, guess you feel let down, but that all it was.Sorry I would write mine in longhand too but, it would take too long and I am doing genealogy for three people at the present and I do not feel like I can ask them to wait that long. Even though they think we are great for doing this.You are a great Gal for spending all that time writing it in longhand, I probably couldn,t read mine if I did that, I tend to write too fast since I started my own business, always in a hurry, don,t forget to look for my Mills, Moons, Scott, Richie, Addingtons and yates.they all lived in Amador county at one time.Abigail

Steve and the rest of our gang, The Calif film can be extended, my friend at our library called and they said yes, so if you need an extension you can get it, I actually made it through a month of 1902 today, the 1902 paper is pretty big, saw lots of familiar names, watch the personal and around sections and probate sections for lots of good stuff. I even found some neat old adds I could copy and frame. enjoyed the time spent on this paper. Hope the rest of you do too, Steve, I can,t believe you do not have yours as you ordered before I did and we are in the same state only a few hours apart, maybe it was out on loam. hope to hear you have yours soon, as you will enjoy reading it, did not finish lookups as had company until 10.30p.m. but will in the morning.so please be patience with me Abigail

I just wish my microfilm would hurry & come in so I could catch up with some of you!

Steve, the film was free, its not my libraries policy, but do not worry, I have figured out a way, where there is a will there is a way, my library thinks this is great,

Hey Gang, I am so looking forward to all the information you are putting on here, As a professional genealogist it will make my work easier and also help me in my searches for my family members, I have a lot of friends that are professional genealogist and they applaud us for our work, Please what out for my Richies too I will try tonight to do the rest of the lookups Art, I still do not have your snail mail, if you sent I lost, sorry. I am so excited about this project that I put the 3 people I am working for on hold to get it done, and they understood and they too applaud us. I think I figured out to get it all done in time. soo later Abigail

I'll have the film until June so I will keep an eye out. The film is hard to read. The ink is faded on some of the marriage licenses. It is not indexed. So if I don't see it, it doesn't mean its not there. But I'll try. DIane

I just want to thank everyone for their hard work. A few months ago I found a biography on the Jo Daviess, Illinois. I still get goosebumps when I think about it. I had gone to the site several times. I was a little bored so I skimmed over the biographies. My GGGreat Grandmother had remarried. It even named all the kids and that she had emigrated from Cornwall. I don't think I ever would have found that out any other way. Well, I'm just saying thanks for all your time. Diane Hall

I will mail your articles, too much to e-mail Abigail Steve, my California film came in, they said I could only keep it until the 12th of may, so quess I will copy it as i could not review all the rolls by then, and they said no extensions. any ideas? Abigail

Thanks Abigail

I also have this but for good, will do look ups. Please pray for my niece who lives in Oklahoma and we get through to Verify she is OK.

Hi fellow listers..(posting this to NORCAL too, so they can be watching the Amador County website). Steve had wrote & said, as he had a family & worked, etc., his input would be somewhat slow as to working on the newspaper project. . Well I'm retired so I have the advantage there but am on disability so that hampers me. And the reading of the film, writing it down in a notebook & then inputting that data into the computer is tedious, back & arm breaking. But, I am not complaining just stating a fact. My thoughts are: if I just happened on the Amador webpage looking for my ancestors that went west looking for gold or better lands or whatever reason, & found some of the information that will be posted there, I get goosebumps. The thrill to find where grandfather whoever had the best tomatoes in town or great-aunt whoever had 15 children & find all their names listed. Some of these articles are bare mininum but others are a wealth of information, what a treat there will be for some descendant. Art is providing a fantastic medium for us to share our history & the history of our Amador County pioneers. And, of course it took Steve to motivate us. Below are two articles that I would hope someday to find something similiar written up on my ancestors. August 4 1899 (In this one her name is listed as Caroline Gibbert, in the next it's Christina Gibbert, so that's the way it will be input) This one says she died at home 6 miles west of Jackson on the Ione Road of Bright's Disease. Left 2 sons & her husband died 4 years ago. August 18, 1899 This one gives her place of birth as Busum Germany August 13 1832. Left Germany April 29 1851 on a sailing vessel with two brothers & one sister, arriving in New York July 16 1851. She was a dressmaker in NY for 3 years. Got married there April 1854. July 1855 sold out her business & she & Mr. Gibbert sailed for California arriving in San Francisco September 5 1855. They arrived in Jackson, Amador County, September 1855 where they were in the hotel business until January 1858. They then moved to Sutter Creek where Mr. G. ran a saloon. Mr. G. died May 20 1895. Mrs. G.'s maiden name was Christina M. Brand. Leaves 2 sons, William & Charles. There are discrepancies as to the name, these obituaries are the words of ordinary people so there can be mistakes but there's a whole bunch of clues there for someone to track down. They came by ship & not wagon train, tells what trade they were in, what year they both died. It's more than just knowing your ancestor came to Amador County period. So hang in there & the Amador website will be bulging with tidbits. Jackie in Jackson

I found Auson Valentine Prouty age 22 married to Alice Leonard Scott 18 on April 22, 1991. Frances J. Ferry to Mrs. Grace Scott on December 2, 1897. Diane Hall

Hey Gang, I have the History of Amador County, California by Thompson and West ---will check for the names that have been sent to me already, If there is anyone out there that has not sent there names and want them checked please send now, as I will only have these books until Saturday. The articles from the two other books will be in this mornings mail for those of you that sent me your snail mail. There are a few pictures in this History of Amador book, I saw A Caminetti if interested I can scan and send to you through your own e-mail . Have a nice day and please pray for the people of Oklahoma. Abigail

Hi all, I went to the LDS yesterday. I kept my eye out but I didn't find any of the names I was looking for. However, this film has marriages from 1881-1906. If someone knows of a marriage date in that time frame, I can try to find it. Diane

Steve, You found a map of the Kennedy Mine? Where I would love to see it .

See what we have to look forward to? All the results from the reciprocal combination of our efforts. No one of us could possibly do it all alone.

Hi fellow listers..following the discussion that's been going on, here are two extractions from the Amador County website project. February 11, 1898 Amador Dispatch Mrs. A. Arriginni died yesterday morning. Leaves a husband & four children, one a babe four weeks old. June 9, 1899 Amador Dispatch Mrs. A. Caminetti took the Arrighini children to the orphanage at San Raphael yesterday. Spelling of the last name is as it appeared in both issues. Looks like the husband tried to keep the children but found it too difficult. Jackie in Jackson
