Dear Sherry and others out there: Thank you for mentioning this. I am not clear about your statement: "Mrs. Frank Wojcik made additions and corrections in the bulletins of this time period." Should I assume you mean Mrs. Wojcik made corrections, additions about things other than the "Rock Inscriptions," ... Mrs. Wojcik wrote the book: 1845 Overlanders and she was certainly knowledgeable about our pioneer wagon train people of 1845 and their family genealogies. I am bemused by the name Alfred Gains on the "Rock Creek Camp, Idaho," contributed by Mrs. Milton W. Belsher. I would also be interested in knowing if Mrs. Wojcik ever commented about that name as listed. Unless proven wrong, I will bet my dog spot that this was actually *Albert Gaines*.......He and wife Sarah (Barlow) were with the 1845ers. Wonder if anyone actually took photos of these names? Am wondering if Albert couldn't spell his own name? Guess we'll never know!
