Hi Booners, Got this from the Linn County OR list. Thought you might find it interesting or useful. I have not searched for Boones on it, but I'm sure all of us may have a relative or two in the records. Geraldine Ingersoll, Director Boone Society, Inc We would like to invite you to re-visit our website, The POORHOUSE STORY (a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses) at http://www.poorhousestory.com We just posted some notes from a reader, Linda Ivers, about the location of a poorhouse in LINN County. We currently have much less information about the county poorhouses in Oregon than we would like to have. I anyone can provide more information it will be greatly appreciated. If you would like to visit our site-- DIRECTIONS: At the homepage (link above) click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then on OTHER STATES, then on OREGON on the table of states. (NOTE: If you have visited the site recently, you may have to click on REFRESH on your browser to see the new information.) There are other pages on the site which may give you some interesting perspective on poorhouses. They are off the homepage and include: the HISTORY page and the LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS as well as FEATURED ARTICLES. There are great tips for researching poorhouse records for yourself on the RECORDS page; and you might want to subscribe to our (almost) monthly newletter (which you can do in the lower right corner of the homepage). The information on our site will only grow through the submissions of generous readers. If you would like to e-mail me ... please do so off-list because I cannot maintain subscriptions to as many lists as we post messages on. (You can use an e-mail link off one of our web pages.) We hope you enjoy the site! Thanks, Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)
