CAGenWeb Project (click here to expand)

Plumas County was formed from parts of Butte County in 1854. It was only natural to name the county for the river that flows through it - Feather River. In 1821, the river was named el rio de las plumas (the river of feathers) by Spanish explorer Luis Antonio Argüelo for the multitude of waterfowl that he observed upon its waters. In about 1850, the river's name was anglicized to Feather River. Plumas County tidbits:

I am Eliza Bullard, coordinator and website designer for the Plumas County CAGenWeb Project since 01 May 2004. I am a genealogist (working on certification), family historian (yep, there's a difference!), and a prosopographer (don't worry - almost no one knows what it means). I caught the genealogy bug back in 1994 and hope never to be cured. I love what I do and I love helping people to trace the histories of their own ancestors. A cousin of mine, Edgar J. Bullard, once wrote, "To preserve details about our ancestors from wasting records and fast-decaying monuments is the priviledge and the meed of those who compile family histories." I certainly share my cousin's sentiment. I am proud to be a part of the USGenWeb Project and CAGenWeb Project, since providing free access to historical records for everyone is very important to me.
