I am a genealogical researcher engaged in a project to identify early pioneers of the Alaska Fortymile country which was mostly settled by gold miners before and after the great Klondike Gold Rush of 1898. My goal is to write a short biographical sketch of each pioneer which eventually will culminate into a book.

If I've contacted you, it is most likely to update a memorial with info I have found or to seek clarification of information you have provided. Or, I may have requested a photo that, with permission, I will be allowed to use for publication. (Credit is always given to the photographer if the photo is used.)

I may have also requested one or more memorial transfers and if you have graciously granted my request, thank you.

For more information about my project, see the article in the 10 Aug 2012 issue of "What's Up Yukon."
