Hi Gary, Just thought I would let you know that "NEOFITA" is not a surname. It is the designation given by the church and colonial government to all Native Americans during the Spanaish and Mexican periods. I have just transcribed the censuses of 1833 and 1841 for the settlement of Monterey. Both contain Native Americans. There were two different identifiers used: 1. NEOFITA/NEOFITO - the first is the feminine form, the second the masculine form. Both mean that the Native American wass christianized. 2. INDIGENA/INDIGENO - feminine and masculine identifiers for Native Americans who had not embraced the Catholic religion. From the transcribing I have been doing lately of the old records in the Mexican Archives, it appears that many of the Native Americans were assigned Christian given names, but no surnames. The women appear to have acquired surnames only after they married. If they married another Native American, the couple were both listed minus surnames, only an identifier. One nice part of the manner in which the Native Americans were identified is that the Mission where they originated is usually included with the identifier. A little cross-referencing will then identify which tribe the individual was originally a member of before assimilating into the Hispanic culture. FYI, don't assume that the Native American originated near where they were living. In the censuses I am working on, many of the neophytes came from San Gabriel, Santa Barbara, and other Southern California settlements. Hope this helps, Anita C.

Looking for Dorothy COREY married to Walter McGOWAN Lived in 20th century: Dorothy was probably from Santa Cruz or Monterey area of California; probably born 1895-1905; she had minor acting parts in one or two early silent films Walter McGowan was employed by Monroe, Lyon & Miller of SanFrancisco, San Bruno, Santa Cruz, or Monterey Area -- this group were owners of the Apton Beach Country Club, active during mid-1920's in same general area of Calif. Walter was in charge of casino headquarters for this firm. Dorothy was a 'cousin' / friend of comedienne/actress ZaSu Pitts and Dorothy served as Godmother to Don Gallery, ZaSu's son. Don was first the child of actress Barbara LaMarr and when Barbara died in 1926, ZaSu and Tom Gallery adopted him and raised him with their daughter, Ann Gallery.

Hi Everyone, I found the following statistics for the 1850 U.S. Census for Monterey County to be quite fascinating.

Hi Everyone, I am currently working on a transcription of th 1850 Census for Monterey County. While many surnames and given names are deciperable, I have come across numerous instances where either the handwriting is sloppy or the page is a little too faded for me to figure out how the name is supposed to be spelled. Among those I have been able to read, there are many occurrences where an "o" ending is used for a female and an "a" ending is used for a male. These I have left as is. I realize that the enumerator used a lot of phonetic spellings for the Hispanic names but in many cases it is very difficult to determine whether it a letter is a "w," "m," "ui," "a," "u," "i," "k," "h," etc. In an attempt to help figure out some of the Hispanic spellings, I transcribed the 1851 Assessment Roll for Monterey County. I was hoping that since the two lists were only a year apart, many of the same names would appear on both lists. Unfortunately the names I am having trouble with do not appear on the Assessment Roll. Hence my request. I would greatly appreciate any listings of Hispanic names that were known to be, or suspected of being, in the 1850 Monterey County Census. Misspellings as well as correct spellings are both welcome. Thank you, Anita C. Monterey County BTW, the 1850 Monterey County Census will be posted if I ever figure out the "elusive" names.

Dee: The CAIF contains references to holdings of the California State Library in Sacramento. If you find something you are interested in, you can ask Sandra Harris on the NORCAL list to find the holding and make a copy of it. --Sheila P.
