His widow remarried prior to 1860. I am hoping to find some tracks. I had a great-uncle lost at sea a bit later. His will was probated in San Francisco in 1884. This was a family of four brothers that were ship captains/masters and there may have been some indications of there comings and goings in the local press. I was able to find four newspaper articles about them so far. And then, I like reading old newspapers just to get a feel for the era. Hope springs eternal in the heart of the optimist.

Kustel was the family name. My GGgma was Agnes Buchwald Kustel - she married Wm Brown and bore Celia Brown in 1859. There aren't many Kustels in the world and they are all mine ;-) Mike in WA > > What were there their names? > > George > Mike Bartlett <[email protected]> wrote: > George, > > My GG gfer was lost at sea bringing a group of Walechian miners to > California around 1854.
