I am looking for treasure hunter Craig Purpura

[barnhse]

Hi, very sorry to ask such a question, but I have been searching for a treasure hunter that was active in 2004.
His name is John Purpura.

He was in southern California, then moved to Salt Lake City, Utah around 2004ish.

He has done some research on Jesse James that I would like to ask him about.
I am hoping someone can ask him to contact me, or let me know how I can contact him.

Thanks,
Mike

Have you tried simply Googling his name? I did (different search engine though), and got several hits, one being a Facebook account.

Yep, I googled, facebooked, and linkedin John Purpura, and found several, and tracked them down the best I could. The John S Purpura in Salt Lake City was the best, but the company he worked for there went out of business...alas/woe/sigh.

Thanks for responding!

He had lots of posts at Genealogy.com (Posts by John Purpura on Genforum - Genealogy.cilytreemaker.genealogy.com) but they suddenly stopped in 2005.

Found a couple of different obits, but without a bit more info would be hard to determine if any were him.

Maybe would help to go here: Veromi.net | People Summary The link contains info about people named John Purpura who have lived in California.

If he published anything, contact the publisher.
