Just looking for any info on the history of the Reil family in the
Winnemucca area. My grandmother was Mabel Reil and great aunt was Louise
Reil - she was a school teacher, I think. I visited Winnemucca in the
early 60's - just wish they would have left more information on the
family history. Thank you.

Seeking info about Mr. Wilde, Mr. Barclay, or Mr. George Fitzmeyer, who

I am researching the family of Hiram Henry McColley of Humboldt County,
Nevada. He was a native of Franklin County, Ohio born 13 May 1833. He
went to California about 1854 and then to Nevada about 1863. He lived in
Star City, Dun Glen, McDermitt, and Willow Creek. He died in Winnemucca
Nov 20, 1918. His wife was Lucy S. Lenhart or Lemhart. They were married
in 1869 in Winnemucca. They had no children but she had a son William
Coulter by a previous marriage to William Coulter who died in the Civil
War.

I am researching the families of Pablo (Paul) and Isabelle Mendosa
Laveaga and Melinda (Mellie) Mendosa and Phillip Roberts. It appears
that Pablo was married three times, but only he and Isabella lived in
Nevada; first at Unionville around 1869 and then later Winnemucca.

Seeking more information on James Byrnes and his wife Mary Skahen as well as their offspring:
James, along with others from Rome, New York,
appeared to have come to your beautiful county after their involvement
in the Civil War. James came with brothers John and Thomas, both of whom
later returned to Rome.
John married and had several daughters
but his wife and daughters apparently died by 1890 as he returned to
marry a second time in Rome in 1890.
James is buried in Nevada
but as yet I am unable to find where the rest of the family has gone. My
mother was a Byrnes and I am descended through Thomas. I did find that a
window in the Roman Catholic Church in Winnemucca was given by the
Byrnes family and I found a line drawing of the homestead in Paradise
Valley but curiosity continues as to the whereabouts of descendants.
Regards, B

looking for information on my great-great grandmother, Virginia Irene

know.

I am looking
for information on William deHaven who apparently died in Winnemucca on
27 Jan 1873 and was buried there. There is no record of him in the
graveyard at Winnemucca. William lived in Red Bluff, CA and was, at the
time, running a flock of sheep near Winnemucca. William deHaven and his
family came to California in 1839, leaving from Pineville, Missouri, in
an ox drawn prairie schooner along with a train of about 100 others.
William was elected captain of this train. What I am really interested
in is William's death record and the location of his burial.
