History of The Appleby Heritage Association The idea of having a central place for Appleby researchers to share genealogy data, took form in 1979, in Phoenix, Arizona. In that era, it was still very much in the typewriter and telephone age and there were no personal computers with cyber-space web sites to help with research. Now, we have taken a great and wonderful step forward into an incredible future. From 1986 to 1991 we, frequently, traveled the highways and byways by motor home, with the dining area set up as an office. We searched and researched and searched some more, trying to learn as much as possible of Appleby history in America. Our present home base is in Nevada. From Elko, we reach out to Applebys everywhere, through the Appleby Heritage Web Site and E-mail. Your response has been magnificent, no less!! I hope you have benefited from it and enjoyed it. I certainly thank you, for all the ways you have participated, by caring and sharing and helping unite our Appleby families, past, present, and future. The Appleby Heritage Association has never had any membership fees. It began, and remains, the concept of Applebys helping Applebys, to discover just where we are in the Family Tree.

Imagine my surprise to discover Dee's Gift Shop. No, it isn't mine, but
if you are ever in the neighborhood, stop by. Sometimes, it's open for business.
Scattered and hidden among the hills and valleys of this
scenic area, are the illusive visions of Indians, Prospectors,
Hunters and the wagon trains on the California Trail.
Westward Ho!!
The Humboldt River, wide and shallow, runs through here.
Indian and Pioneer graves are throughout this corner of Nevada.
Geyers on the mountainsides are now subdued by technology.
