I too had occasion to meet & be helped by Kathy Micklich, & I agree, she is very nice & so very helpful. M Kambic

Kathy is a very nice lady and she is a Bogunovich [maiden name]and the spelling could be Micklich. I will be seeing her next Friday.....yes, I am headed for Leadville on Saturday.... Gail

Without wanting to sound stupid, I'll pass on the name of a Miklich (?) I came across. I was doing some research on a family member in Leadville and called the Catholic Church there and talked with a very nice lady. She was of great help to me and very willing to help out. Her name was Kathy Miklich. I think I have the right spelling but I could be wrong. Try her she was wondreful. Dianna

Gail, I can't get the links to work. For example, the obituaries, the 1870 Census, the surnames, etc. I get a message saying the server can't access the page.

Sorry, Frances, none at all, under that spelling, and a mere name for which I'm holding a watching brief, otherwise. Sorry! Lois

Hi! My name is Sue Reid and my email address has changed. It is now [email protected] Thank You, Sue Olds, Zaitz

Hello I am related to a Dougherty family living in Cleator Moor in the nineteenth century and would like to know if you have much information on Doughertys.

Thanks, Gail. I'll save them up carefully, awaiting more evidence. Those litle kids are of an age to be members of my family - but I hope not! Don't worry about the spelling variations - I spent half a lifetime being asked whether my name had an 's' on the end! No surprise! Lois

May I see them, Gail? On the offchance that one or two might well be mine . . . Lois At 11:58 PM -0700 19/6/01, Gail Meyer Kilgore wrote: I have a listing of 6 Griffiths that passed away in Leadville. >Gail

I need some help in fleshing out the bare bones of my story. A 'net friend has given me an 1880 Census entry which reads Census Place: Bald Mountain Hill and Breece Hill, Lake, Colorado. Source given. James GRIFFITHS, engineer; self, M M W, 29, b S. Wales, Fa and Mo also b S Wales Margaret " keeps house; wife F M W, 27, " " " Elizabeth Ann, dau, F S W, 3, born PA William, son, M S W, 1, born CO Over the past few days a handful of incredibly kind people have filled out my knowledge of Colorado, Lake County, Leadville, even Breece Hill, even Captain Breece himself! (But I still don't know if Breece is a Welsh name . . .) I even know what a fourteener is! Now comes the beginning of the hard work - I have had a look at on-line indexes to libraries and archives, without avail. Manifestly the Griffiths couple moved to Leadville environs after the birth of the daughter and before the birth of the son. It seems logical to deduce that James Griffiths was a mining engineer. Be that as it may, he seemed to be drawing a reasonable salary, as at some stage after he himself emigrated (ca 1870?), he sent money back to his mother in UK for the purpose of paying the passage of his younger brother William to join him in the USA. Later, when William was livng in Australia, James visited him - I have a photograph of the two of them. Now, assuming that they remained in Colorado - is there anyone who might have a connection to this family? Are there electoral rolls or suchlike which I could consult. Records of birth of further children? And so on. There are one or two kind folk in Colorado who are looking out on my behalf, but it seemed (from past experience) that joining a Rootsweb group was a Good Idea. If they did not remain in Colorado, I have a harder task. I live in Canberra, Australia, and my knowledge of US geography is abysmal (Colorado has improved a thousandfold in the past few days, however). I did not yet tell you the relevant point - William the younger brother of James Griffiths was my grandfather; James, thus, my great-uncle, and those tiny children my first cousins once removed. James and William were born in Llandewi Ystradenny, Rads, Wales, sons of James and Hannah Griffiths. In expectation of some distant cousins popping up - Lois

June 8, 1886 Elizabeth Griffiths age 34, no marker, buried in Block 17, Section 4, Grave 4 in the Free Section May 23, 1884, Gertie Griffiths, age 3, Block 20, Section 2, Lot 4 Free Section, no marker Oct 7, 1881 James Griffiths age 10 months, Block 18a, Section 4 of the Protestant Section, no marker I was looking at Griffin with the 6 listings and then I have 3 Griffith spelling. Sorry about that... Gail

I have a listing of 6 Griffiths that passed away in Leadville. Gail

I would like to know if Al O' Brien would have any information in regards to two individuals. Andy Ladine and Gust Ladine took turns working in the mines in Leadville. My great- grandfather Gust supposedly met my great-grandmother Emma Sophia Carlson in the mining camps in Leadville. She was a cook. I do not know for which companies they worked. My great-grandfather and his brother took turns working six-month stints according to the information I have obtained. The other six months they would return to Nebraska to farm. I have been meaning to check county marriage records for Leadville but do not know what year they were married. I estimate 1895. If you would be kind enough to let me know if you could be of any assistance it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Stephen Ladine [email protected]

Any information about this place and time would be appreciated.

Posted on: Lake Co. Co Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Co/Lake/10337 Surname: Vidmar, Zaitz ------------------------- Anton and Mary Vidmar were the parents of Helena Vidmar (1881-1959), who married Joseph Zaitz/Zajc in Leadville 10/8/1899 per the records of the Catholic Church there. Helena's brother was George Vidmar (1884-1978), who came to America some time after Helena, and who was my wife's grandfather. We do not know when Anton and Mary came to America, but we do know that George did not come with them. He came about 1900 (age 16), but was very close-mouthed about the whole business. Said his parents sold hom to a coal mine in Austria, (possible to get passage money to America?). He never would talk about his parents, and I am trying to trace his path and theirs. He died here in Cleveland, Ohio. Joseph and Helena Zaitz moved to Wisconsin in 1916, and I have a good contact with their descendants. Helena may have had a sister, who may have also lived in Leadville, but no one knows anything about her. They do have her photo, with Helena, but without a name or date. Many thanks for your interest and help. Maybe this info will open some new doors.
