Hello Folks. In scouring the countryside for my ATWOOD ancestor, I ran across one Buel Atwood and wife, in an 1863 Oregon Trail mention from the Autobiography of Mrs. Oscar F. Thompson, "Reminiscences of Oregon Pioneers" Edited by Mary E. Johnson; Published Pendleton, OR: East Oregonia Pub. Comp, 1937 It's just a citation, but I thought I'd pass that along to anyone who may need it. Nope, I have no idea what it says, or who Buel Atwood was. But he wasn't Frank Atwood, who didn't go to Oregon, so I didn't pursue it any further. :) deb - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - deb Christensen ([email protected]) Graphics Connection Forum http://www.computingcentral.com/topics/graphics/
