Could Yauquina.... etc... be a misspelling of YAKIMA? That's in WA, not OR. Cecilia -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 11, 2005 8:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OREGON] Town or County Name - Help I am looking at a 1917 draft card registration. The person was born 1888 in Oregon. Place of birth reads: Yauquina or Youquina or maybe Yanquina. After searching around the Oregon Web site and place location sites, I just don't find anything similar. I am sure the first letter is Y and I am sure of the "quina" part. Does this place name mean anything to anyone familiar with Oregon?

Hello, In the event that no one has mentioned it yet...Yaquina Head, Yaquina Bay & lighthouse are located on the Oregon coast in Lincoln County.
