FIRE, FLOOD, OR STORM VICTIMS: If your copies f the Newsletter are damaged or lost, they will be replaced free

A phrase that occurs all too often in genealogies, especially before the Civil War period, is "Left home when a young
man and was never heard from again." These men often went to sea, to the "big city", and in the 1849-60 period, to
California as part of the Gold Rush.
Some of this latter group can be identified in the Index to the 1850 Census of the State of California, compiled by
Alan P. Bowman (Baltimore, 1972). This census (the count was taken in 1850 and into the spring of 1851) gave not only
the name of the individual, but also his age and state of origin.
