It's not the message. It's the website. the names of cemeteries are not shown, you have to highlight the general area to get the names of cemeteries shown. That is what I checked to be sure.

I already sent this message to the ORMARION-L list, but thought I'd send it to this address too. Maybe it'll reach a broader group of people. :) Hello. I have transcribed six cemeteries in Marion County and am now busy putting them online for others to view. The listings that I have completed online are... St. Louis Cemetery Sacred Heart Cemetery Gervais Masonic Cemetery (All three of these are in Gervais) I have also started to put up the listing for Bethany Pioneer Cemetery (Bethany, near Silverton). And then I will add St. Paul's Catholic Cemetery (Silverton) and Skunkville aka Labish Center Cemetery (Brooks). Here is the address! http://www.geocities.com/spanky_kay/cemeteries/transcriptions.html I hope these lists I've compiled might be helpful to someone! :) -Katie penelope126@hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com

Katie, the names of cemeteries are not visible because they are black in color- same as background. You need to reverse the color for fonts.

Thanks for all the responses on my question about Seaside,Oregon. You guys are a GREAT bunch of people. Thanks again Bessie

Bessie, Seaside is a fairly decent sized tourist town. It is located on the northern Oregon coast. I do believe they have a library. If I may suggest, try looking for the Seaside Chamber of Commerce web site (with it being a popular vacation spot, I'm sure they have one). That should be able to get you all of the info you want/need. I have done that with other cities that I want to know more on, and find that if I have any questions abt the town or city, they are usually very knowledgeable. Good Luck! Laura Buffington Oregon City, OR (located in the Willamette Valley-between Portland and Salem) buffimladj@aol.com

Good Morning, Can anyone tell me anything about Seaside,Oregon? How large is it? Does it have a library,etc? Thank you Bessie Tennessee

Hi Bessie, I have been to the Seaside Library. It is small and has very little genealogical material. I was told that the library in Astoria (county seat) had a lot more information (have not been there).

The Sunday Oregonian, February 11, 1968, 3M, page 25 History Buffs Follow Traces of Century-Old Wagon Road Across Eastern Oregon Sage by Phil F. Brogan, Staff Correspondent, The Oregonian. Bend (Special) Still visible in the range country southeast of the pioneer town of Antelope, Wasco County, are traces of an old wagon road "constructed" just a century ago. This was The Dalles Military Road "from The Dalles City, on the Columbia River, to Fort Boise, on the Snake River: Distance 330 1/2 miles." It was a highly controversial "road," built after its potential use had faded and several years after the gold rush on the John Day at Canyon City had subsided. Harvey W. Scott, early-day editor of The Oregonian, wrote on June 26, 1869: "A large part of this 'road' was built simply by driving an ox-cart over the country while two men trudged behind with shovels on their shoulders." The military route ran from The Dalles to a crossing of the Deschutes near its mouth at Gordon's Bridge, moved upland to Mud Springs (Erskine), then to Haystack, later known as Finnegan, and on to Cross Hollows, where the Columbia Souther Railroad later was to halt at the end of the rails to establish Shaniko, now a ghost town. Sage Traversed >From Cross Hollows, where a stage station had been established, the route led south through the sage to the Antelope Valley and the Maupin stage stop, operated by Howard Maupin. Later, the town of Antelope was to take shape about two miles to the west. On the old military map, the Maupin station is listed as "Moppin." >From the Maupin station, the route, still closely following the pioneer trail to the Canyon City gold diggings, moved southeast to Cold Camp, then down to Cherry Creek and Bridge Creek to historic Camp Watson, near the fringe of a pine forest. Between Camp Watson and Canyon City, the military road crossed the John Day River four times. Distance from The Dalles to Canyon City was 197 miles. Passengers making that long dusty, or muddy, trip paid fares of $25 each. Promoters of The Dalles Military Road obtained a grant of 592.557.8 acres of land in alternate sections across the region where the route was to be built. The acreage extended the entire distance to Fort Boise. The road expenditure was listed at $38,937.09. Congress approved the military road project on February 25, 1867. Work on the road was well under way 100 years ago this year. On June 23, 1869, more than eight months after the Oregon Legislature had approved the grant, Governor George L. Woods of The Dalles accepted the road. Acceptance, it was noted by Giles French of Moro, author of "The Golden Land," followed a personal inspection of the road by the governor. With the governor's inspection party was W.M. Hand, editor of The Mountaineer, published in The Dalles. Hand reported in full detail on the inland trip over the route into the gold country, colse to the old trails of Indians. A section of the road, apparently little used, extended from the Deschutes-John Day divide southeast of Antelope and moved down a steep grade to Fir Creek and on over Currant and Muddy creeks. History buffs will be traveling the 100-year-old military route when range country dries and grass greens juniper hills. But they will find scant traces of the gold route that long ago led to the John Day area and western Idaho.

Thank you for this web site, my cousins took the trail from Oregon City to The Dalles in 1863. I hope to be able to travel this trail next year. "When I reached The Dalles, where Oregon Trail pioneers had to decide whether to risk the river rapids by boat or cross the Cascades on the tough Barlow Trail" Many thanks again listers.

Dear Janice, Thanks for the suggestion. I did not realize they actually had yearbooks. About a month ago I telephoned them and offered to donate my dozen or so 1920s/1930s Portland yearbooks that I have transcribed/indexed, but they said they were not interested in them, and gave me the telephone number of the Oregon Historical Museum.... I didn't realize the Genforum had a collection of yearbooks :-) I will have to call them. thanks again!! Pat << You might check with the Genealogy Forum of Oregon they have a large collection of year books. Janice >>

Dear Marcy, there is also a 1927 & 1928 Jefferson HS yearbook on line :-) go to the directory for Multnomah Schools to take a peek at the yearbooks currently on-line: <A HREF="http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/or/multnoma/schools/">Index of /pub/usgenweb/or/multnoma/schools</A> The book list is growing :-) << Pat, Any chance there will be any earlier yearbooks put on line? My mother went to Jefferson HS back around 1925-27. :) Thanks, ...Marcy Ugstad >>
