I would like to share with all of you about what can be found at the new Ellis Island records site. It is THE most exciting genealogical find since I began this madness...er....hobby. ;) I know it is very difficult to get into the site, but it sure is worth it. I'd set the clock for the middle of the night and try then. Once you have found an ancestor and clicked on their name, hit the bar named "ship manifest", after that, if there is a notation above this that says to see "original manifest"...hit that. It is the actual manifest and may be more than one page so you might have to negotiate forward or backward to see it all. It has information that includes their specific residence, birthplace, relatives where they came from and who they are meeting often including a specific address, a physical description, occupation and how much money they had on them. I noticed today that manifests that showed previously are not showing up so do not assume it is not available...try later. It took me several trips to the site to finally find the odd spelling the person at Ellis assigned the relatives. Think phonetic!!!! My great-great grandmother arrived at Ellis in 1907 with a 2 year old. The other 7 children were left behind and came later. I found one ship with 4 of them including babies 11 and 9 a whole year later. I can't even imagine this. She was headed for Neche, North Dakota...and had $2 on her!!!!!! Just wanted to share this. Good Luck! Sharon

Have you noticed that a net search (google.com- is the one I use) will now pull up the CAMARIPO archives -(I imagine all rootsweb lists) ----I don't remember that happening before-----anyone know if this is new?

Bev, I hear from two listmembers that the Sanitarium is the large complex on Highway 49 that is being restored- It must have been almost a village as it is full of wonderful old buildings- I wonder if the Fresno Flats Historic Sites folks would have some information.

Hello, Thanks to George Rushton for sending this out in San Francisco. Ironically, in their effort to "cut corners" the city saved itself money and supposedly the current developer is going to have to bear the burden for these relocations. Had the city done the job properly in the first place we wouldn't be watching excavators in old cemeteries only stopping when or if the next body is "seen." History does, indeed, repeat itself...

Hi Folks- I bring you great news! We have been presented/gifted with the transcription indexes to the St Joseph's Catholic Cemetery and the three sections of the Mariposa Cemetery (IOOF, MASONIC and PUBLIC) My special thanks go to Tom Phillips, tbp@yosemite.net for providing these for use on the Mariposa County GenWeb Project Site: http://cagenweb.com/mariposa/ Tom personally walked these cemeteries and gathered this information- and has provided them to be used on our MARIPOSA website to benefit all Mariposa researchers! What a gift! Tom has co-authored _Yosemite's Forgotten Pioneers, The Bruces of Wawona_, and is well known for his meticulous research. Tom is currently assisting the Mariposa Elementary Students with their research on Mariposa Historic Sites---- http://www.mes.mariposa.k12.ca.us/History%20pages/newpage51.htm Tom is not on our discussion list , but his email is provided above, should you wish to thank him - Enjoy ! Carolyn

HI I was looking at the 1880 census on the Mariposa Web page. Is there an index of the 1880 census. I could not find the people that I was looking for. I know they were in the county in 1880 and I think they were in Hornitos. I was looking for Joseph Henwood his future wife Mary Jane Kirkpatrick and her daughter Louisa Vandegrift.

I keep driving by the large Ahawahnee Project! It is a huge old complex that is being restored . It is on Highway 49---in Ahawahnee, about 8 miles from Oakhurst. Would this be the site of the County Sanitarium Bev is looking for?? What were all these buildings used for? and what are they going to be used for now when they are all restored?

Sue, I would consult the holding of the California Supreme Court in "In re Lifschutz, 467 P.2d 557, Cal. 1970. Under the rational of that and other holdings, I think you might find that the privilege of privacy belongs to the PATIENT, and not a physician, etc. I think you might also find that the right extinquishes with death. Under this reasoning, I don't see why the records would not be available. Please let me emphasize, this is a totally NON-legal opinion. It's just a suggestion of a place to go you might find interesting. ;) Sharon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sue Silver" <ssilver1951@jps.net> To: <CAMARIPO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, May 11, 2001 11:17 AM Subject: [CAMARIPO] Re: [CASANFRA] Old Stockton Insane Asylum Cemetery > Hello, > > I recently ran into the problem of locating information from the Stockton > State Hospital Records.

Hello, I recently ran into the problem of locating information from the Stockton State Hospital Records. I contacted the California State Archives, which appears to have the records. I was told they were confidential patient records and could not be viewed by the public. The information I was seeking was relative to a man who died at the hospital. I was attempting to verify if he was buried at the hospital cemetery or if he was sent home for burial and now lies in an unmarked grave. I could not find this information out. I ultimately asked if the Archivist would support legislation enabling researchers to have access to these records after a specific, statutorial period of time, such as that which the federal census utilizes. He did not seem to oppose this idea but related he thought the legislators might have a difficult time with all the requests for more protections on privacy. Do we have enough support out there to push for legislation allowing access after 70 years, for instance?
