A very nice page and I will come back from time to time. I am interested in Nevada Co. genealogy. (Jack Coffee, jcoffee@ix.netcom.com, 1996-08-15).


My family and I live in Texas, and we spent our spring break investigating Shiloh Cemetery near Waldo and Pleasant Hill Cemetery in search of Dennises and Malones. I found your cemetery records today, and they are very helpful in my research. Since I grew up "down the road" in Chidester, I also find the Nevada County information interesting and very helpful in my genealogy research. Keep up the good work! I look forward to reading the histories about Nevada County that your pages have promised. (Barbara Ray, trebor@hal-pc.org, 1996-07-15).


Thank you for all the work you have done on the Nevada County page. I was born in Prescott in 1951 and my grandparents lived in Hope until they passed away. It was like a visit home reading all the information you have collected. I will check back often. (Mike Conine, mconine@rt66.com, 1996-07-15).


First of all, let me say that I love your page. I have been doing genealogy research on my family for about three years now, but only on the internet for a few months. My family comes from Prescott and this page is very interesting. (Les Holder, ryanx34@intellinet.com, 1996-07-14).
