Brad, Thanks. I sort of thought that's where the census records might be. I've been debating whether to pay the money. $5.00 a month is pretty cheap, and I'd sure like to have access to those census records. I did subscribe to their magazine, but they didn't get my subscription started, and I had to call them. I'm sort of waiting to see if they'll send my next issue before I confuse them with membership on line. I won't be involved with genealogy for some goodly amount of time this summer. We're going to Germany, Austria, Holland and Belgium. And there is a slight chance of a trip to Iceland, but since the deadline for the meeting was in May, maybe not. I'd love to see Iceland. I realize this has nothing to do with Atwoods. Anyway, I'm thrilled at your Chemung Co. Atwood data. Thank you for that I haven't forgotten my promise to send those Atwood sheets. I usually run on "slow." Joanne

Brad, Where are you getting these census indexes from? Are they on line? I would love to have access to them with all the work I do on various lines, including Thurbers, and now especially Atwoods. Thanks. Joanne

Hi Brad, First, I just returned from three days at our daughter's. Your check was here. Thanks so much. How do you like the genealogy? Isn't it fascinating? Of course living here I may appreciate it more. Thanks for all the deeds etc. When do you sleep???? These Atwoods aren't mine so far but I can't imagine that they won't tie in at some point. I'm such the optimist. Again, thanks. Katherine

Yep today I went into work and found the Atwood doctor I had told everyone about. Here's the lowdown. Dr. James P. Atwood (1846-1926) established himself at Baker City in 1871 and remained there until his death. He was born in Green Co., Wisconsin, but was brought to Oregon by his father who located in Benton Co., in 1853. Atwood attended school in Corvallis and Sublimity, after which he taught school for a time. He read medicine under the preceptorship of Dr. Marion B. Lingo of Salem and entered the Willamette Medical Department, graduating in 1870. He practiced for a year at LaGrande, Oregon and in 1871 settled at Baker City. Feeling the need of further training he entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University, New York, from which he graduated in 1874, returning to Baker City to resume his practice. He kept up with developments of medicine by reading and through post-graduate courses from time to time, and served his community for more than half a century.

Thanks, Judi, for the information on Dr. James P. Atwood. Glenda

The letter today with the descendants of William Atwood reminded me that I need to find my Great-Uncle Frank ATWOOD's descendants in Arizona. Frank M. Atwood was born in Sacramento, CA on Jun 16, 1863, to Melissa Catherine Remore Atwood (and a possibly dead and/or gone father, Frank Atwood). They had only recently arrived in California. He had one older brother, Louis (Lewis) Napoleon Atwood. His mother remarried the next year to Thomas Conley in Watsonville, CA. They homesteaded in the Three Rivers area of Tulare County in 1867. As a young boy, he appears on a census as "Francis" and not Frank. His brother remained in the Tulare County area (My great-grandfather), but Uncle Frank married a lady named Cassie (probably after 1900) and they moved to Arizona. He could have been involved in farming, my family certainly was for three more generations. He died in Mesa, Maricopa County, AZ on Aug 31, 1932. Are there any ATWOODs with origins in Arizona that this sounds familiar to? Even a wee bit? Until recently, none of our family here in California knew the names of the parents of Lewis and Frank Atwood. Descendants of Frank M. Atwood might be in the same boat. Considering there seems to be a trend in the name Frank in the family, I wouldn't be surprised to find that a son or grandson of Frank M. Atwood named Frank, too. :) [And no, I haven't a clue in the world what the M stands for. It's on his death certificate.] Thank you for listening to YET ANOTHER one of my poor lost ATWOOD tales... :) deb (Atwood) Christensen - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - deb Christensen ([email protected]) Graphics Connection Forum http://www.computingcentral.com/topics/graphics/
