Janie, I have John Syme/Julia Parkers marriage, kids and their data'; but its Julias PARKERs I don't know about, at all! I know her Father brought the family west in 1866, and as Julia was married in 1868 I assume they were all nearby French Gulch -- somewhere. I know Julia taught school at Shasta City, so Parkers could be anywhere? I know Julias sibling names, but her dad, JOHN PARKER had a brother William and his family may be there too. And Parker is too common a name, like Smith. Maybe 1870 cen in Shasta Co ? Names like PARKER, John John Jr Merren Maria and I hope a separate household (?) PARKER, William Jeane John William Jr Anything like that? ( are you confused yet?<G>) --JD
