I was pretty sure that's what was meant. Very little was covered from South
Fork (the southern extremes of the county). In the dry season it was a
rough trip...in winter it was often impossible to get to Eureka with news
and document submissions. I've been pouring over records now since January
and found few mentions of South Fork. I'm having enough trouble finding
records from the area around Fortuna in the 1890s. Even today it takes
almost two hours to get to the Mendo-Humboldt county line going slightly
above the speed limit....my usual speed. I really need to watch that.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Did the Steinmans buy land? Land records
might be a possibility for a better timeline. It's really too bad
California didn't take 18?5 censuses like other states did. I haven't done
any land record research yet, since I don't have land descriptions for my
focus group. I also haven't been to the Humboldt Historical Society yet and
they have some different records. EdrieAnne
