Message Board Post:
I am looking for information on the uncle of my grandmother. According to a newspaper
article published in Oregon in 1956 Joseph POTTS was a mining engineer in Eureka, NV. It
also says that he was born in Pottsville, Indiana.
The above mentioned news article is the first I've heard of Joseph so I do not know
his date of birth etc. Based on births of his parents I would estimate his birth to have
been sometime in the 1830-50's.
I do not live in Nevada so my research is done online.
Does anyone know if there are records of miners available?
Are there any other records that might be searchable?
Is there a way to find out if he married or died in Nevada?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
Diane
