Prehm |
I'm researching the Frederick and
Bertha Prehm
family who had a son, Martin
Frederick Prehm, born in Redding in
1888. I would appreciate any
information or contacts you might
direct me to. I think I've exhausted
all the sources I can find on
Cyndi's list, USGen Web and the
Shasta Genealogy page. Best regards. |

Critchley, MacCay,
Ogden, Sutton |
I am looking for information about
the families for Critchley/Ogden.
Clara Critchley
was placed in a Sacramento orphan
home (I think it might be the
Sisters of Mercy) after she arrived
in San Francisco with Amilia and
J.P. Sutton
from Peru. I believe that Clara had
a sister, Mrs. (Ann) John William MacCay, in
the area and a brother, Thomas
Critchley, that was sent to a ranch
in Suisan. I believe that Clara
married John W. Ogden on
14 Dec 1900 (in Shasta) and had her
first daughter, Clara Isabell Ogden,
on 1 May 1902 in Redding and a
second daughter, Carmelita, a year
or so later. I am seeking any
information on:
- Clara Critchley/Ogden
- Thomas J. Critchley
- Mrs. (Ann) John William MacCay
- Clara Isabell Ogden
- Carmelita Ogden

Batty/Battye |
Looking for information on James
Quentin Battye
born New York 1857. Thought to
have moved to California in the
early 1860s, probably after his
father was killed in the Civil
War. There are links with Palm
Springs and Shasta County. He
became a mariner and married a
Welsh girl in Swansea, Wales, UK
in 1886. Raised 7 surviving sons
there before dying of TB in 1915.
I am also looking for one Pat A.
Wiggins
who, in 1999, was also looking for
this person (my great grandfather)
on the ancestry.com website. We
may have info to share but her
email is out of date. If anyone
knows of her please ask her to
contact me. Thank you.

Prichard/Pritchard |
My father, Robert F. Prichard,
had a half brother named John Elias
Prichard. John was born in
Whiskeytown on May 7, 1868 and died
in Alameda County on September 19,
1943. I looked at the Shasta County
1870 Census, but the only name that
came near to John's was Robert Pritchard
(often the "t" is added or dropped
in Prichard by mistake).
My father's and John's was Elias
Prichard. Elias came to California
from Wales to mine gold (he had been
a coal miner back in Wales). He
apparently married twice, had a
child in Whiskeytown and later four
children (including my father) in
Sutter Creek, CA (where he managed a
large gold mine). I am trying to
find some information about John's
birth and maybe the name of his
mother. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks. |

Wilber/Wilbor/Wilbur |
My ancestor, William Macy Wilber
(also spelled Wilbur, Wilbor,
etc.), died in Redding, Shasta
County, CA on 3 Jan 1892. He
supposedly was in the County
Hospital of Redding, CA when he died
and was buried in their burying
ground on 4 Jan 1892. I already have
his death certificate, but would
like to locate this burial ground
and find out if there was a
tombstone or any record of his
burial. Thanks for your help! |

Long, Petty,
Valentine |
My grandmother's name was Alice.
Her birthday was 1/31 early 1900's.
Census records show she was a foster
child of William Long of
Shasta County at the age of 18
months along with another sibling.
They lived in Redding California. On
my grandmothers death notice it says
her mothers maiden name was Petty. I
don't know if that means her birth
mother or adopted mother. She died
in Butte County (Oroville) in 1966.
At the time of her death her name
was Alice Valentine.
If anyone knows of her birth parents
names please help! |

Egger, Griffin |
Frederick Egger
is listed in the 1900 census in
Shasta County. He is listed as "head
wood-chopper". Frederick was born in
Switzerland, married Mary Ann Griffin in
1857 and had four children. Family
lore confirms he was an adventurer
being a furtrapper when he first
arrived in America. Perhaps he was
trapping in the NW before beaver
hats were no longer popular. Any
information about Frederick Egger
would be appreciated. |

Hall, Oak/Oakes,
Shearer |
I am looking for a death
certificate or entry for William J.
Oaks/Oakes. He
was born in Maine, 1833, and
supposedly died August 26, 1901 in
Millville, CA. I don't know if he is
buried locally or not but I doubt
it. The family left ME, came to CA
(around 1880) then on to Colville,
WA. He divorced his wife, Olive B. (Hall)
Oaks/Oakes 1888 and remarried Clara
Shearer
of Montana. I believe his family had
property in Shasta County and I'm
wondering if there is a probate or
will for him also.
The family possibly came to Shasta
Co. around the 1880's as they were
in Yuba Co. for the census. I did
notice that there are other Hall
people living in Shasta Co. but I
don't know if they are related at
this time. They would be if they are
from Hatevil Hall, son of John Hall
of Dover. Thanks very much. |

Downer, Heer |
I am looking for information
concerning the Heer family. I
suspect that Lizzie J. Heer, who
married John Joseph Downer in
Shasta County on August 6, 1893, is
a sister to my great great
grandfather, Casper Heer. Casper was
born on February 18, 1875 in
Switzerland and died June 5, 1938 in
Tehama County, California. I found
him in the 1880 census in Shasta
County listed as Jasper Herr, and a
sister named, Elizabeth, born in
1877 was also listed. I found two
Heer individuals buried in
Millville. If anybody has
information please contact me, and I
would be willing to exchange
information. |

Ricot |
I'm looking for any information on
the man Ricot
who is naturalized in Shasta County
(of Naturalization records
1852-1932). My questions:
- Who he is?
- When he is naturalized?
- From where did he come?
- May be he is Jean-Marie Ricot
(born in 1821 at Paris/France -
d. 1863 San Francisco)
He had a son, Henry John Ricot, born
28.6.1854 in CA. If you are
interested by my Ricot genealogy,
please tell me it. Thank you very
much for your help and excuse my
(old) school English. I reside in
France. |
