- The one item I think someone on the net might be able to help me

- very difficult to read, but I think one of the words might be
- Diggings. Hence, I think grandma May's place of birth is

- XXXXXX Diggings California.

- Where XXXXXXX is unkown since I cannot read it. To help establish
- a time frame, her date of birth is calculated to be 31 Oct 1861.

- I recall seeing a Malakoff Diggings State Park, in the Gold Country, possibly
- Placer or El Dorado county. I can't find any mention of Malakoff, or any
- Diggings, in my geographical database, but I'll dig through some maps and try
- to shake it loose again.
