First, I have this BIG Caveat! I have read many books and done research. I have tried to put the pieces together of the Mariposa resident Indians. If your ancestry is native you may know of a taboo. After death an ancestor's name was never mentioned. I think however that it may have been permissive to speak of an aunt or other non-direct line. Anyway, I think you know that oral history is one of the only avenues we may have. I have done 2 projects. I have made a gedcom file of Mariposa related Indians. I have also extracted the Natives that were recorded in the 1880 census to a separate list by location. If anyone is related to natives in Mariposa I invite you to email me and let me send you a copy. I only have one request. If you know any information relating to anyone in these files, PLEASE let me know. Thank you! Sharon
