I have located my ancestor, James Hoban online in a news article July 20, 1890.
He was a miner on the Comstock Lode, Virginia City's Savage Mine.
I have located his son Patrick Hoban, and family on the 1910 Clark Co., NV census.
I have located his daughter Rose Hoban born 6-13-1882 NV, who, lists her mother's
maiden name as Collins on her death record.
I am searching for more records on James Hoban, born about 1850 in Ireland. For example:
1. Immigration record, such as oath or declaration of intent.
I believe he immigrated to US about 1880, as that is what his son stated on the census
report. (Ellis Island has nothing).
2. Birth record of Rose Hoban, who I believe was born in Silver City (but it could be
Virginia City?).
3. Cemetary record for James Hoban, or other relatives.
Rose went on to California and married and stayed there until death in 1944 in Los
Angeles.
If anyone can help me to locate these records, or give me ideas of where to look on line
or where to write? I would appreciate it. I have been searching online at rootsweb and
Nevada Gen Web for records, and thru google search.
