Hi Frost! Somewhere in this group, or in the DuBois-L list, is a DuBois researcher whose family did migrate to California amazingly early. Hopefully, he/she will chime in. I also recall seeing a DuBois on a ship's list to San Francisco way back (relatively speaking, for California, that is.) Always a pleasure hearing from you. My regards to the Huguenot list; I hope to be a regular again soon, but must finish up my Alabama research first.
