A warm and special Thank You to
Wallace Miceli - the former Shasta County
Coordinator I am following behind.
I also must thank the former County Coordinator's
before Wallace! You know who you are! It took me a
few weeks to organize, clean 'code' and update
these many pages. Through it all, I have been
amazed at the volume of resource material
accumulated over the years to help you, the Shasta
County researcher. As a fellow researcher, I wish
this kind of data could be found on ALL GenWeb
sites! And, with the help of volunteers like these
wonderful people, it can happen!
Lately, I have followed in your footsteps by
adding a variety of 'vital' record information
from old newspapers found on the California
Digital Newspaper Collection. If YOU, the
person visiting this website, have not taken the
time to 'browse' through old newspapers you are in
for a treat! History comes alive!!
This
website is in no way connected with the 'official'
We are here to help you with your family research.
Did you know:The name "Shasta" is derived
from the English equivalent for the name of an
Indian tribe that once lived in the area. The name
of the tribe was spelled in various ways until the
present version was used when the county was
established. Originally Mt. Shasta was within the
county, but it is now part of Siskiyou County, to
the north. Its 14,179-foot (4,322 m) peak is
visible throughout most of Shasta County.
