They were loosely filed alphabetically and some had consent notes written by parents, guardians, etc. attached to them. A few consent notes were written on the back of old envelopes and one on a piece of brown paper bag. The following records concern the family of Jesus Miranda and his Native American wife Petra, who lived in the Kern River Valley. My notes are in brackets.
