Posted on: Unknown County Nv. Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Nv/Unknown/241 Surname: Youell ------------------------- Hi Suzie. I found one reference to Frank Youell that might narrow your census search. It was in the gene pool records at ancestry.com: YOUELL, Edna Rose b.9-16-1904 Ormsby County, Nevada d.12-25-1988 Port Orchard, Washington Married:1917 Spouse:TURNER Father: Frank YOUELL Mother:Zelda Mae Lottie WILEY You might want to search there. The capitol of Nevada is Carson City which is in Ormsby County. There are several volunteers on the Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness at rootsweb who might be able to help you in your search.

Posted on: Unknown County Nv. Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Nv/Unknown/239 Surname: Milam ------------------------- Hi. I think the Paradise you want is in Clark County. I did a search at ancestry.com for Milam's in Nevada. There were 3 listed under the SSDI. 2 of them had dates of birth early enough to possibly be siblings of your Minnie May. There was also a reference in a book called "Heartthrobs of the West" mentioning a J.S. Milam that came to Clark County(Las Vegas area)around 1855. Margaret P.S.- the only other place that has a Paradise name in Nevada is in Humboldt County.

Posted on: Unknown County Nv. Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Nv/Unknown/236 Surname: Dreyer ------------------------- Calling all DREYER's and Dreyer researchers' >From a "brick-walled" grandson in a remote part of the world. I am trying to establish the particulars of my grandfathers life after his separation from my grandmother in 1924. We doubt that he is still alive (he would be approximately 102 years old now) but we would sincerely like to find the rest of our family. It is difficult to access information from our present location and after 5 years of looking we are begining to suspect that the information on grandad Dreyer may be "suspect" (i.e. he wasn't around very long and left under very unusual circumstances around the time of the birth of his son). In this context, I am appealing to all Dreyer's and Dreyer researchers to send me whatever info you have... I'll synthesize this data and follow any leads that appear valid... I'm now working on the premise that the information I have is wrong! If you or your older family members have any information (however remote) that might be useful in our search please forward it to us. Any "Dreyer" history is valid and we will keep all information recieved...just in case another Dreyer happens to get the "bright" idea to start chasing their family tree. Sincerely, Ronald (Ron) Dale Dreyer proud son of Henry E. A. Dreyer III (1924-2000) grandson of Henry E. Dreyer II,(c1898-?) rdreyer@candw.lc P.O.

Posted on: Unknown County Nv. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Nv/Unknown/234 Surname: ------------------------- NEVADA STATE CENSUS, 1875 (Update adding Douglas, Landon, Ormsby, and Washoe Counties) This database looks at the state census for the counties of Eureka, Churchill, Esmeralda, Humboldt, Lyon, Douglas, Landon, Ormsby, and Washoe. For each entry, the person's name, age, sex, occupation, status as head of household, and place of residence are listed. Where the census noted a marriage within the year or parents of foreign birth, these facts are also mentioned. The head of household in many instances is not easily determined. Where this is the case, a member of the household has been listed as the "head," even though contemporaries may not have recognized him or her as such. This allows the researcher to see all of the residents of the household by searching on the name listed as head. This database was compiled from a transcription made in 1876 from the original enumerator's records. Any errors in the original source have been recorded intact, and the interpretation has been left to the researcher. Many minorities were not named in the original census. More than half of the just over 10,500 entries in this database are immigrants to the United States. Over 40 foreign countries and more than 40 other American states are listed as places of birth for Nevada residents of these five counties. Source Information: Barghouti, Kim, comp.

For some time I have been researching a CASNER family that traveled extensively throughout the West. The family consisted of the mother, 13 sons and 1 daughter. They left IA in 1850 migrating to OR. Circa 1870 there was a split in the family; those remaining in OR/WA changed the name to CARSNER. Those that left and went to AZ kept the spelling CASNER. The daughter married a FIELDS in OR and she remained in OR. Those that went to AZ then traveled through CA, NM, NV, TX, OK, WA, ID and elsewhere. The mother's name was Jincy Jane Fields Casner. She raised a grandson (the 14th son) as her own. His name was George Casner (b.1852 IA); he grew up in OR. He married Margaret Ellen Grover in 1875 in Inyo Co., CA. He appears on the 1880 NV census with his wife and four children (John Lewis, Jard Martin, Alice, and Clara). George Casner dies between 6-7-1880 and 8-30-1884 in Humboldt Co., NV when a horse falls on him. The father of George (John Casner) is one interesting character. After leaving OR, he mines in CA and NV; he and his brothers have a large herd of sheep in TX where two of his brothers are murdered in 1876; John kills 9 men in revenge. He moves to a different part of TX and becomes a respectable farmer/rancher. He is sentenced to prison in 1900 for his part in the shooting death of his grown stepson. The last record found of John Casner is 6-1902 when he is at the courthouse in Haskell Co., TX selling the last of his land. I guess he rides off into the sunset, as I have found no further record of him. I would like to communicate with any CASNER or CARSNER researchers (whether you believe you are connected to this particular line or not). With 13 sons, the families were very prolific; the sons were often married more than once. Liz Freeman

It turned out to be located on the RR line between Caliente, NV and Moapa, NV and the location was so-named by the RR. Perhaps Paradise acquired its name the some way.
