I have most of the information on the Oleson side of this family, with respect to the family tree at least. I am still looking for obituaries for Louis and Josephine Anderson Douglas, as well as for any of their parents, and, of course, if any pictures exist of any of the family, that would be a real bonus. I am researching the Douglas/Anderson lines for my children, who are direct descendants. Any information you have is much appreciated.

Many thanks to all of you who have submitted Family Group Sheets. You should double-check the web site to insure your information and your email address is current. If you have not submitted your Family Group Sheet, it's fairly easy, just a few minutes of your time unless Great Great Grandma and Grandpa had a bezillion children. Then it might take a little longer, but you have the potential to hear from more cousins too. Just go to http://www.rootsweb.com/~iafgs/ and choose "Electronic Form" or the "Alternate Email Form," and enter your data. If you keep hitting enter and sending an incomplete form, work offline (the instructions are on the FGS home page). Remember, information about persons who are living or might be (born in 1904 or later) will not be posted and they need your FGS as a text (.txt) file.
