My name is Edward A. Black, Sr. and I established the
CAIMPERI-L
maillist for those who desire to contact others who have like desires in
locating family members, taking part in discussions or doing other genealogical
research in Imperial County, California.
My interest in Imperial Co., CA comes because I live in Southern California
and I have a strong love for genealogy. My daughter-in-law is from Mexico
so I have a interest is those parts of California close to the border.
I've had an interest in genealogy since I was a child [although I referred
to it as finding my roots]. My wife & I have long found enjoyment in
helping others, in my case doing what I can to help in family history.
I have found that the lists I've taken part in have helped a lot in
locating family members on either my own or that of my wife's family.
Enjoy this new site and I do hope that it will assist you users with
your genealogical work & discussions. It is intended to be a tool for
that purpose.
The CAIMPERI is intended as a forum for genealogical discussion &
research - the searching for one ancestors and kinfolk. I recognize that
that will include some history of the area, something of the local businesses
as relate to occupations of the people that lived in the area. It is intended
to focus on Imperial County, although some overlap with neighboring counties
(ie: San Diego and Riverside Counties). I have found through the other
lists that in looking for one's kinfolk in an area, it opens ways to continied
search, as the subscribers share their experiences and knowledge in helping
others in their searches. That has helped me personally locate my kinfolk
back to the early 1700s and those of my wife along 3 lines back to the
1600s.
I started this list because of my interest in the area. It is new, so
people are generally not aware of it yet, but I expect that it will become
a useful tool in research as people find that it is there. I've already
received messages thanking me for taking on the challange, so I know it
is worth while.
Thanks again,
Sincerely,
Edward A. Black Sr. [listowner]
