This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: LOWE, LOW Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EY.2ADE/340.2 Message Board Post: Tried search for LOWE in Sierra county 1860 in Heritage Quest and got nada. However did find a LOW which seems to fit your other parameters (first names). Heritage Quest microfiche pretty good and location you're looking for is Whiskey Diggings Township #8. Post Office on same census page is Gibsonville. If typical, suspect this is a more pinpoint location than the township. You can find it at Topozone URL: <http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=39.7403&lon=-120.908&datum=nad27&u=4&layer=DRG&size=l&s=50> As you've probably already found out, Goggle usually comes up with a location in Plumas county for Whiskey Diggings.
