From: Kuserk@aol.com [mailto:Kuserk@aol.com] Subject: Snelling family Hello. I received your e-mail address from a lady at the Old Snelling Courthouse Historical Society. My father is 84; and is a descendant of the Snelling family of Merced County. His name is Charles Snelling White. He wants to come to Snelling for a visit. I'm wondering if you can provide me with any information, or recommend any books, which contain information about the Snelling family in Merced County. Thank you for your help.

Kay Kuser came by today and brought updated info on descendants of William Snelling, Benjamin's son who was murdered in Snelling in 1857. She picked up a couple of copies of my new Snelling edition, one for her father to read before they make the trip out there. I'm sure they'll be in touch for more talk after they've read them. Pam, where do you fit into this--are you another Snelling or a helpful bystander. Either way, thanks, and if a Snelling, let me hear from you. Carolyn--Hi. We stopped by the Snelling library last summer and a lady was there preparing it for limited opening times. I left a copy of the earlier Snelling edition with them. They seemed to have some material on the town's history, but I don't think there is a whole lot available. I did find some mention of it various places and included them in the book.
