Heritage Committee | Genealogy Group
The ACHS Has a Permanent Home!
One of the Society’s Lifetime Members, Stan Lukowicz, has donated extra office space to the Society at #1 Main Street, Ste. A, in downtown Jackson. The telephone number is 209-625-0658 (dial all numbers) and the Society’s e-mail address is achs1948@comcast.net.
Besides being the Society’s offices, we will also be a Visitor’s Center and a source for historical research. The office will be open Friday thru Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Larry Cenotto, current Society president and ex-County archivist, has donated much of his accumulated historical research from his computer to the Society’s office computer for public use. Should a party wish to make an appointment with Larry, he can be reached at dicenotto@comcast.net. The Society’s mailing address continues to be P.O. Box 761, Jackson, Ca. 95642. Come visit us and see our displays of historical materials from Friday through Sunday.
The Genealogy Group meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 1 p.m. at the General Services Administration Building at 12200 Airport Road in Martell.
The Genealogy Group is involved in tombstone transcriptions of the 27 historic cemeteries in the county. So far we've transcribed the four cemeteries in Sutter Creek, the two in Drytown, the two in Pine Grove and Jackson City Cemetery. The results are posted free on rootsweb.com at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/california/amador.html
The Genealogy Group is also reviewing early newspapers of the county to extract vital information on residents. These births, marriages, and deaths will then be posted on the Web and placed in the libraries in the county.
We also have other projects that you may want to join. For information, please contact Marian Randolph at lanmar@apedaile.net.
