Dear Sharon:
As you are a rather new subscriber, are you aware of the
CA-GOLDRUSH web page where we post our queries on the
"Most Wanted Early CA 49'ers?" You can visit the page at:

http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/8861/goldrush98.htm

If you decide to add a query on your CATES family, please
send it to the address with the
Subject: "Most Wanted...(ancestor's name)"

Good luck, and thanks for your nice words about the list.
