Name Variations for Fetters Hot Springs - Agua Caliente ...
When searching records, keep in mind that names and their spelling can change over time. Our sources include documents like maps, railroad schedules, Travel, Express and Shipping Guides. Many of these documents date from the 1800's and it's common to find spelling differences.

A typical abbreviation for Fetters Hot Springs - Agua Caliente: Fetters Hot Spgs. Agua Caliente (or less commonly used: Fetters Hot Spngs. Agua Caliente or Fetters Hot Sprngs. Agua Caliente)
While the name of this community is Fetters Hot Springs - Agua Caliente, be aware that it's the common practice of mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names<1>. So Fetters Hot Springs - Agua Caliente may originally have been Fetter's Hot Springs - Agua Caliente.

If you have information about these names (such as the reason for the change, date of change, the origin of the name), please Contact Us.
Neighboring Counties ...
When searching for family records, we have frequently made the mistake of not checking the neighboring counties.
For example, we have great-grandparents who lived in the northwest corner of their home county. During their lives, most doctors and hospitals were in the next county to the west. Almost all of the nearby churches and cemeteries were in the county to the north.
So when searching for records, we had our best success by looking in neighboring counties instead of the county in which they lived: their home county contained property and probate records; the county to the west contained birth and death records; the county to the north contained their burial records. If we hadn't included the neighboring counties, we would have missed many valuable sources of information.
If you're in a similar situation, we hope that the following information helps.

An 'estimated' location is one where we have been given GPS coordinates, but are unable to verify the accuracy of those coordinates. That said, we have some confidence that we have placed the marker near the actual location. A typical reason for being unable to verify a location is that it might be on private property or maybe historic and gone without an obvious trace.
