Dear list, I have posted a few of the census results that I know the names are of interest. My next trip to the Archives will be next Thursday, Oct 19. If there are any Mariposa names from any census other than the 1880 that I should keep my eye open for, please say so. (I have a copy of the 1880 census at home and can search it more easily there.) I will mostly be working in the 1900, 1910, & 1920 census, but will be glad to check the 1860 and 1870 too. The 1850 is very large (about 200 pages)because it was done before the different counties were formed from Mariposa and so it covers a very large area. I can look someone up in that only if you can tell me which township. It's only divided into Bear Valley & Townships #1, 2, 3, & 4. I don't believe there is an 1840 census (at least not one done by the federal gov't) because Calif wasn't a state then. Sharon Dulcich dulcich6@aol.com
