I am related to a few people who went on that fateful journey. Is anyone doing the Fosdick line? I am also related to his wife Sarah, a little further down the line.

My research indicates that there was a MURPHY family in the Donner Party and
that one or more of them survived the ordeal.
Can anyone tell me more about them?

I just signed up and am trying to see if I did it correctly.
I have cousins who were with the Donner's as they went over the pass. Jay Fosdick is my 7c2r. I think I might be related to a few others who were there. That was such a tragedy.

Hi everyone
I want to welcome you all to the new Donner Party Mailing list. Since this
list is new, there aren't really any archives as of yet. There are a few
mails there, but no data. You can find the archives to any Rootsweb mail
list by going to
http://archiver.rootsweb.com
>From there, you enter the name of the mail list.
I have always had an extreme interest in the Donner Party history, my
children are related to a few from that party (through my husband). I will
begin to gather some of the
HI I am new to this list
All I know is my family said they were part of the family that broke off
from the donner party and they came to
Oregon.
Our family names are Fish,Leabo,Bradley can anyone place these to the Donner
Party?

I am new to this list and joined to find out more about the MURPHY family
that was part of the Donner Party. If anyone can send me any details
whatsoever, please do. I understand at least one of them survived the
ordeal, an elderly woman as I recall. I would like to know from whence they
came, where they were headed and what happened to the old woman.

I also have a member of my family tree that journeyed with the Bonner Party
until breaking off to go to Oregon. Does anyone have information about the
Surname HUTCHINSON. Where are the archives for this list found?
