I am trying to verify that Robert Thomas Agnew was born to John and Margaret Agnew some time after the census September 1850. Can anyone advise where to start?

Hi

For births in that era in CA, most of the info I've been able to find is contained in newspapers. There were relatively few in the northern part of the state at that time (primarily in San Francisco, Stockton and Sacramento)and they covered events, such as births, well beyond what would be considered the "local area". A website that I've found particularly useful is at URL:

Since it appears you have info about an El Dorado county connection, you might also try the county historical museum where they have files about local families. URL is:

Good luck

Thank you Vern. The Museum was most helpful and informed me of a book with the family story but no Robert Thomas yet.
