Subject: Re: C. Derby Hi Charlotte - Sorry for the delay, I am just seeing this message now. I moved most my stuff over to Ancestry as geni keeps trying to make me upgrade. Yes, that is the Charles Derby of New Almaden, he was married to my 2nd Great Aunt, Mary Carson. Mary's father was George Ryckman Carson who was the postmaster of New Almaden and, her brother, my Great father was the superintendent. What is your connection to the mine? I am not sure how to merge records? best - Harriet
