Doreen:
Thank you for your help!
The Alexander Tannahill family (wife, Margaret, and son, James) are not related to the
family of Frank Tannehill who died in Fallon and his wife, Effie, and son, Otto who died
in Virginia. At least not in recent history! The former family was very active in state
politics and I expect I could find a lot of information about them - if I were interested.
I would like to check for deeds in Virginia City for Effie and/or Otto. Those would be at
a county courthouse - would that be in Virginia City? The usual hours of something like M
- F, 8 am - 4 pm?? And Virginia City is small enough that I should be able to find it
without difficulty?
Does Virginia City have an historical museum and/or library that would have information on
some early residents? These Tannehills weren't too early since they didn't arrive
in Nevada until sometime between 1906 and 1910. They were in Wonder until its demise about
1924.
I believe that the Nevada State Archives is in Carson City?
Thanks, again, for your help. It is very much appreciated.
