Eileen: I just re-read your following message concerning cemetery records in ElDorado County and am asking once again for help.. My great grandfather, Robert Nelson, from Denmark, died 15 Dec 1885 in Diamond Springs and is buried in the old cemetery there. I wonder if you have any information on him from the cemetery records that you have access to. There are no markers on most of the graves and I was unable to find a death record for him. However, I did locate his probate records. There were several Nelsons from Denmark in El Dorado county from about 1865 to the early 1900's but I don't know if any of them were his siblings. I would certainly love to know more. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Helen hjfingado@juno.com >Hello List, I have struck gold in El Dorado County.
