| 13-15 | Dinsmore | My gggrandfather is Robert Buchanan Dinsmore. He last appears on the 1900 Census in Placer County at age 67. Two of his sons, Lee and Bruce, as well as their wives are buried in the Auburn Cemetery. Robert Buchanan disappears from any records after this time. His wife and son Daniel are on the 1910 Census in Siskiyou County. I have been unable to find any death information on Robert Buchanan Dinsmore. I contacted Auburn Cemetery to no avail. | Kirk | 11/23/13 |

| 13-13 | Adams-Handy | Good evening, I am attempting to make contact with my brother who was put up for adoption at his birth. His name is John Ryan Adams-Handy and he grew up in Cool (was born I believe in Auburn) and resides in either Rocklin or Roseville to the best of my knowledge. I do not know whether he wishes to make contact with his biological family so if he is located I would like my name kept out of any queries that may go directly to him, unless of course he shows interest in which case obviously I am available for him to contact. If you require any further information I will gladly supply it assuming that it concerns something I know or have access to. Gracias! | Adrian | 11/23/13 |
