Posted on: Amador County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ca/Amador/10430 Surname: ------------------------- My Great Uncle Flint Whitmore, a bachelor, came to Amador County in 1850 and lived there until his death in 1907. In his latter years he was cared for by two nieces as indicated in the subject line. I am seaching for information on those ladies in hope of learning more about Flint and his brother Silas who resided in Volcano for only a few years - died in 1877. If any of you have information, I would love to hear from you. Bob Arcadia, CA

Posted on: Amador County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ca/Amador/10428 Surname: ------------------------- Hi Judy - I was in Amador County this past week-end and visited the Volcano Cemetery as well as seeing Larry Cenotto, Archivist for Amador County. He was able to give me copies of newspaper articles and other information which was most interesting. I walked all over the cemetery trying to find Flint's and Silas' graves but no luck. Apparently their grave stones have been destroyed or covered up. In any event, Larry and his assistant were most helpful. I now have a copy from the Friday, Feb. 8, 1907, issue of The Amador Ledger. It is 2 columns and takes the entire length of the page. Flint was, indeed, a prominent citizen of the County. I also have a copy of page 35 of the 1927 "Amador County History" published by the Womens' Club. It details the Admission Day celebration featuring a prairie schooner with a team furnished by Uncle Flint. I also have the obituary appearing in the Amador Ledger. They gave me a plot plan for the cemetery, so I knew about where to look for the graves, but they were not to be found. I do have the inscriptions from the grave markers. They were buried in block 4-B, graves No. 275 and 276. I was there two years ago but didn't have time to find the cemetery, so my visit was not exactly fruitful, so I am glad I hit paydirt this time. I would really like to hear from you to compare notes. When you have a minute drop me a line. Your cousin, Bob Arcadia, CA

I've also seen it spelled Perano. Message text written by INTERNET:CAAMADOR-L@rootsweb.com >LolaGF@aol.com<

Box 24055 Oakland, CA 94623 (510) 835-3000 (the area code may have changed) Also, When my relatives were moved, EDMUD had to find a living relative and have them sign authorization papers before they could be moved. Hope this helps

Posted on: Amador County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ca/Amador/10422 Surname: ------------------------- State law required that all graves be moved. This was a public works project that was required by the Public Resources Code and the Health and Safety Code to remove all known and unknown graves. According to law (don't laugh), EBMUD must keep the records. Additionally, these were like COUNTY PUBLIC cemeteries and the board of supervisors of Amador County would also have been required to keep the relocation records. Don't take NO for an answer. If they give you a hard time, please contact Assemblyman Anthony Pescetti's office at the Capitol in Sacramento. You can look him up on the California State Assembly Website. Please keep me informed of what you learn. Sue Silver, California Historic Cemetery Alliance ssilver1951@jps.net

Posted on: Amador County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ca/Amador/10418 Surname: SURFACE, CLOUGH, STILLWAGGON ------------------------- I have a very small bit of information on the SURFACE family. My great aunt, Ida May CLOUGH, resided with them for a period of time during 1860. This intrigued me as I've been searching for information relating to the divorce of her parents, Orson CLOUGH (Pine Grove and Volcano, Amador, CA) and Julia MARSH-CLOUGH (Three Rivers, Tulare,CA). The divorce, birth of my great grandmother and Julia's subsequent remarriage all occurred within a short time in 1860. The following information was obtained from "The Shenandoah Valley of Amador County, California 1854-1904" by Elsie Dixon. I have capitalized surnames for easier recognition. SURFACE I. Unknown SURFACE d. before family came to California (hac) m. Almira C. Unknown, milliner in Ione (C AC 1860 & 1870), who had Ida CLOUGH 6, b.

They moved sometime before 1862, to Amador County. They lived in what was called "Township #1" in the 1880 census. It is usually said that they lived in Jackson. They had several children, most if not all of whom were born in Amador County. This is a conglomeration of what I've found: Eva Adelia Kay, born 15 dec 1862 Inga Kay (married Herbert Bright) Alma Roberta Kay, born 12 oct 1881, married Walter Hedgepeth Emma F. Kay, born 1860/1, married Walter Jansen Easissa? E Kay (name scribbled on the census), born 1860/6 Edward Kay, born 1865/6 Henry Edwin, married Rose Sanguinetti Willie W Kay, born 1877, died 1878. Wallace had a brother, William, who also moved to Amador... He had two or more children: Ella Kay, married (unk) Stewart S.S. Kay, married (unk) Hall There is also a Phoebe (Kay) Hall mentioned. Wallace was a prominant photographer in Jackson, and had a gallery in town. William was a bricklayer, or brick-maker. I'm looking for any ancestors, descendents, or other info on Wallace and William Kay. Specifically, I don't have any leads on who their parents are... thanks -Jason Gould, g.g. grandson of Wallace

Posted on: Amador County Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ca/Amador/10411 Surname: ------------------------- The best place to look for who was burried where is to contact the East Bay Municipal Utility Dist. They have a office in Lodi Ca and can direct you to their main office. They moved my decendents to Campo Seco (Calaveras County) a few miles from Comanche. Campo Seco has a small Catholic Cemetery and a small Protestent Cemetery. The Lodi office ph. # is 209-368-1475 and is located at 1 Winemaster Way Lodi Ca 95204 Don't let them tell you they don't know anything because I knew the man who got permission to move my decendents. Of course if they contacted one of your relatives - and they said leave them where they are they probably left them in Comanche but they can give you that info also.

Posted on: Amador County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ca/Amador/10402 Surname: Giusto, Patrone, Bacigalupo, Oneto, Ghio ------------------------- I saw the following posting on a user list regarding NW Italy Geneaology and thought it would be useful for someone: Giusto and other 1842 Genoa departures Posted by Carol Nash on Mon, 02 Apr 2001 Surname: Giusto, Patrone I spent a couple of mornings last week in the Genoa federal archives (Archivio di Stato di Genova) looking at ships passenger lists from 1842. In the period from March 1842 to early 1843, there were only three ships direct to "gli Stati Uniti" (the US, no city specified). There were lots of ships to the expected nearby European destinations and a surprising number to Montevideo (they had found fold there, also) as well as a few to Buenos Aires and Rio. The ships to the US were the S. Cloud (or possibly the S. Clara -- it was really hard to read) leaving Genova on 23 Aug 1842, the Susanna on June 27 and the Logan on 1 December. A lot of the passenger's names show up early in Boston and later in Amador Co. California. My ancestor Gregorio GIUSTO left Genova on 1 December 1942 on the Logan with "a companion" (his wife, almost certainly --- but Genoan women did not change their names on marriage, and the entry looked like a copy from the US log) and three (unnamed) children. The entry identified him simply as being from Sardenia (which is what Genoa was part of then) and going to the US. The only other passenger on this ship was, as best I could decipher it, a Felice Prrigori from Austria. Passengers on the S. Cloud or S. Clara from Genoa to the US were: Molinelli, Angelo, 29 Oneto, Giobatta, 29 Massa, Giacomo, 34 Gandolfo, GioVatta, 67 Bacigalupo, Vincenzo, 39 Molinelli, Angelo, 18 all listed as from Sardenia Passengers on the Susanna from Genoa to the US were: Massa, Antonio, 29 Arata, Giuseppi, 26 Ginocchio, Angelo, 26 Longinotto, Giuseppe, 29 Devoto, Luigi, 35, with his (unidentified) wife Arrata, Antonio, 12 Arrata, Luigi, 42 Botto, Domenico, 22 Massa, Gio.Batta, 24 Arrata, Giovanni, 29 Botto, Agostino, 21 Zannone, GioBatta, 22 (not sure about the age) Botto, Agostino, 26 Ghio, Giuseppe, 17 Brichetto, Giovanni, 38 Botto, Giacomo, 26 Nossano, GioBatta, 30 Zannone, Andrea, 14 Boggiano, Giacomo, 22 Botto, Domenico, 22 Ghio, Angelo, 27 Zachella, Giacomo, 33, with son Boro, Gio.Francesco, 22 Boro, Antonio, 60 The St. Cloud also had these passengers for Marseille (France): Galleano, Giuseppe, 23 Galleano, Girolamo, 57 Galleano, Benedette, 66 Bachigalupo, Bernardo, 28 Bachigalupo, Domenico, 32 Boggiano, Gio Batta, 22 (I think) all listed as from Sardenia These two ships lists were in the volume titled "Sanita 1619"; the Logan was in Sanita 1620.
