Thanks for the reply. I seek one Charles D. Putnam and Royal Porter Putnam if they were listed as postmasters at the Tule PO. That's not the same as Tulare. Tule is present day Porterville, CA.
Thanks.

My Post office info only covers the years 1790-1833 and this just tells were the post office were. I found all the postmaster by a general search. The key word was postmaster and I had to look at each item to find the names. You are looking for men that were postmaster at Tulare Ca. and I need names to be able tell you if they were postmasters…LOL. If you have some name you think may have been postmasters sand them and I will take a look. If this search goes beyond 1875, I will not be of any help.

If you are still looking up postmasters I have a request.
I need the name(s) of postmasters for Tule PO, Tulare County, CA.

Post Master in Wyoming 1860

HuffCheneyS — 2007-12-06 12:23:50Z

I have a friend that is trying to find a Great great Uncle that came from Germany and was suppose to have been a Post Master in Wyoming. The mans last name was Walbrecht. He did find a fort that has a similar spelling but didn't know if that is where he was or not. Do you have anyone in you list for the 1860's that might match that last name, possible with a different spelling? Thank you so much for doing lookups.

My name is Jack Reynolds. Graduated from MHS in 1949. Had an uncle that worked at the PO after WWII by the name of Fred G Thomas, don't remember who the postmaster was at the time. The job was offered to my uncle but for some reason he turned it down. By the way do you know of any other 49, 50, or 51 graduades that live locally (above ground) that are able to communicate by E-mail. Lots of luck on your project. JR Richmond, Va.
