Hi - I just came across your posting. I am related to a Joseph Russell Jarvis b.1985 d 1869. He was in Alaska during the gold rush and I believe in the Cape Nome area.

If you still have the book, I would be interested in hearing more about it.

Are you sure about the dates. If the died in 1869, he wasn't there during the gold rush. It didn't start till about 20 years later. The birth date is wrong too.

I have a couple of JRJ's in the family right after each other. So it is very possible that I have the wrong one. I would be interested in hearing about that book none-the-less.

I'm not sure where that book is at the moment, but I have one specific place to check.
if you don't hear from me by this Sunday, give me a nudge in a week or so.

I'll have to go dig for the book today. hope it's there, otherwise I don't know where it might be.
I have a cousin descended from Wyatte. not sure if I still have her address any more, she lived in Washington but that was over a decade ago.

Can you tell me if the name Engelstad is listed? He had a post in Unalakleet but spent good weather around Nome and Council.
