Denise, thank you very much for looking up the information on McNamee. I will check those names out. I needed some "fresh eyes" again in my search. Can you, or anyone, tell me where I could look for newspaper articles or any stories on those that left in the gold rush of about 1850 or so? Thanks again. I so appreciate the generosity and knowledge that is so freely given. I love to read all of the posts to these lists and learn a great deal always.
