Hello, I am writing to ask if you can guide me in the right direction, in some family
history information.
The Family name of Fenton, (first name is actually unkown but the name of Irving has
been mentionned ? possibly as one of the sons. ) They imigrated from Ireland and landed
in gold hill, (Port of entry San Francisco, CA.)
Can you help me find out if there was any record of the Family name of Fenton? ever in
Gold Hill?
They were rumored ot have come to Gold Hill due to the gold and silver that was being
found there then. (approx. 1859?)
The Family either had a boarding house, or took in tenants as borders.
That is th extent of the information we have.
Regards Debra
