Shasta County, California is located in the foothills at the head of theSacramento Valley. In the 1850's this County was a center for Gold miningand later "Hard Rock " mining, lumber production and cattle ranching.The incomplete index was copyrighted & published in the Society'sJan/Apr/Jul 1982 Shasta County Diggings.The Index containing some 1840 names, was completed in 2001when theSociety's original microfilm was recovered and covers the period 1852 to1932.A great many of the immigrants listed in the index were hard rock miners andgold seekers and afterthe gold was "played out" they either stayed and minedin the major copper mines or moved on to other parts of the United States.In some cases , this Index may be the only record for some of theseindividuals,particularly those that died here in the 1850's and 60's. TheGreat Register of 1890 and some of the earlier Great Registers have some ofthe same data but the County Clerk failed to enter many individuals in them,so this remains the only complete index.
