My name is Edward A. Black, Sr. and I established the CASISKIY-L
maillist for those who desire to contact others who have like desires in
locating family members, taking part in discussions or doing other genealogical
research in Siskiyou County, California.
My interest in Siskiyou County, CA comes because I grew up in Northern
California and I have a strong love for genealogy. My wife also had distant
cousins in the southern part of the county in the Dunsmuir area.
I've had an interest in genealogy since I was a child [although I referred
to it as finding my roots]. My wife & I have long found enjoyment in
helping others, in my case doing what I can to help in family history.
I have found that the lists I've taken part in have helped a lot in
locating family members on either my own or that of my wife's family.
Enjoy this new site and I do hope that it will assist you users with
your genealogical work & discussions. It is intended to be a tool for
that purpose.
The CASISKIY listis intended as a forum for genealogical discussion
& research - the searching for one ancestors and kinfolk. I recognize
that that will include some history of the area, something of the local
businesses as relate to occupations of the people that lived in the area.
It is intended to focus on Siskiyou County, although some overlap with
neighboring counties (ie: Del Norte, Shasta and Modoc Counties). I have
found through the other lists that in looking for one's kinfolk in an area,
it opens ways to continied search, as the subscribers share their experiences
and knowledge in helping others in their searches. That has helped me personally
locate my kinfolk back to the early 1700s and those of my wife along 3
lines back to the 1600s.
I started this list because of my interest in the area. It is new, so
people are generally not aware of it yet, but I expect that it will become
a useful tool in research as people find that it is there. I've already
received messages thanking me for taking on the challange, so I know it
is worth while.
Thanks again,
Sincerely,
Edward A. Black Sr. [listowner]
