View Gold Rush Names

The records show considerable variation in the spelling of last names. If you cannot find the name as you now spell it, try variations. The most common variation is a change in vowels: Ailsworth, Aylsworth; Simensted, Simonstead, Simenstod; McNeer, McNair, McNear; Herd, Hurd; Levell, Leavelle, Leavell. Less common are changes in similar sounding consonants: Drace, Drase; Leveross, Leverose, Leveroos; Ohlson, Ohlsson, Olson, Olsen. In searching, be creative. The field "additional names" gives all the variations. Use the examples as guidance in your search.
