California State Census, 1852 - the gold in them thar ' records

Have you checked out the California State Census, 1852, which went live on ancestry.com yet just?

The California gold rush, something accidentally started by James W. Marshall Sutter's Mill, bringing over 300,000 people in the State between 1848 and 1854.

The 1850 US Federal Census count California population at 92,597.Von 1852, when California took his only State Census, the population had more than doubled and the 1852 California State Census draws tens of thousands of people on hand for 1850 Volkszählung.Nicht only that, but records from three counties from 1850 census - Contra Costa, San Francisco and Santa Clara - since lost or destroyed and 1852 State Census can help, fill gaps are.

And the timing of a good source for important gold rush can make this census figures, such as James Marshall:

Or the legendary Sam Brannan (is it surprise that displays its name in row 1?):

And here is an interesting Geschichte.Dies seems James Reed family, the surviving members of the Donner party.Except James's age (42 instead of 52) and place of birth (Pennsylvania instead of Ireland with other things don't add up, I've read:

Neither the 1850 census nor 1852 State Census Act justice for native American population. also, three counties the microfilm 1852 State Census records are missing: Colusa, Sutter and Marin.Wir work, gain access to the originals, so we can scan them and these counties of California State Census, 1852, add database in the future.

In the meantime like let me know Graben.Und, if you know what is going on with this Reed family.
