Hi Harleigh - I am going to send you an attachment which is a clipping from the Toronto Star. It includes a list of the crew, passengers, etc. for the Princess Sophia. I thought I should warn you before sending you an attachment. - Karen in BC ----- Original Message ----- From: "The Winklers" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 04, 2005 3:56 PM Subject: [CAN-BC] Passenger list for the Princess Sophia which was shipwrecked in 1918 - Surname GARNER > Hello: I just received a reply to a query I had submitted regarding any one having a list of the passengers who died in the shipwreck of the Princess Sophia in 1918 off the coast of Alaska. This list indicates Sue BARR has a copy of that list or a book which contains the list of passengers. But, her e-mail address is no longer valid. Does anyone out there have a copy of this passenger list and if so would you mind looking up the GARNER surname for me and send me whatever information you might have on each of them. I believe their were only 4 GARNERS listed as passengers, but am not sure of that. I know for a fact from other members of my GARNER family that at least 2 and possibly all 4 of the GARNER'S listed as passengers are cousins. But, none of the family has any actual specifics as to: if it was the husbands and their wives, or just the husbands or just the wives, who were passengers. Two GARNER brothers or cousins had gone to Alaska to prospect for gold and their wives ! > did go to see them. > > Another question! Is anyone aware of any books or archival sites, which might contain a list and information on miners who either staked a mining claim or purchased land following the discovery of gold in Alaska say up thru the 1920's? > > Any information will certainly be appreciated! I am willing to reimburse anyone for any cost they might incur on my behalf up to $25. Sandy and I live in San Andreas, Calaveras County, California, which is right in the middle of the California gold rush region. I was county archivist for a brief period following the death of a friend, who had been archivist for nearly 25 years. We are also both active members of the Calaveras Genealogical Society, and serve as Board members and me as the treasurer. If you ever need any research done in Calaveras County, please don't hesitate to contact us! > > Thanks in advance! > > Harleigh Winkler > San Andreas, Calaveras County, California > e-mail: [email protected] > > > ==== CAN-BRITISH-COLUMBIA Mailing List ==== > To New Subscribers : The online indexes to British Columbia Vital Records are at > http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca:9000/sn-301BDDB/bsearch > These records are freely available and there are several possibilities for accessing them at a low cost. > >
