Hi Dan, We got messed up some time back.... we were going to try to meet at the State Archives and it never happened. I moved to Dallas from Woodburn to take care of my mother in 2001 and was too tied down there to continue my excursions to Salem. My email back then was [email protected] While in Dallas and after I switched to wvi, I sent you quite a lengthy epistle regarding mutual Maupin heritage, and our interest in Modoc Co. CA. I also asked you about your experience with wvi.com and it was a long time before you replied, which message was lost in dealing with computer problems. Adware got to me and I had the system rebuilt last Oct. I was right about wvi unceremoniously getting me unsubscribed from my mailing lists. I've now come to Arkansas on an extended visit with my daughter, and have been continuously subscribed to my lists all year so far without a hitch. The only fly in the ointment is that sbcglobal is Yahoo-powered and a pain a pill can't reach! Maybe you have some recollection of the above. However, even though we never got around to a face-to-face, I still feel like I know you and in keeping with not getting around to things, the date of your message (02 Apr) is typical! > We are looking fwd to summer, going to > drive around and do some picturing of > places and also to visit some museums. I've been taking pictures, too, and will get plenty when we go to Kentucky for the POWERS reunion June 25th. My line is from Sanford POWER b 27 Jul 1847 in Morgan Co. KY and Elizabeth MAUPIN b Aug 1838, dau of William MAUPIN and Sally DENNIS. Sanford and Elizabeth were m 30 Dec 1857 in Bath Co. KY. My grandfather, William POWERS was one of the 9 children of Sanford and Elizabeth and m Maud Violet BROOKS who was born 1880 in Modoc Co. Curious connection is that a George MAUPIN also married into the BROOKS family, my grandmother's sister Ella, I believe. They weren't same wagon train families who intermarried because of that association so I don't know how they happened to hook up. I don't have all my records here with me, darn it, and hesitate to send for what I didn't bring and then have to ship it all back in a couple of months. > I am having a Matney/Cooper/Penrose/ > Rogers etc Oregon relations get together the > last week of June on I-5 rest area where it > crosses the Santiam river - it is connected > under the freeway to both sides. Good luck on your get-together! Maybe we can compare notes when I get back. Have to be there for the Old Timers Picnic in Falls City the 2nd Sunday in Aug as I'm secretary. Best Regards, Violet Sunderland mailto:[email protected]

Thanks for the notes. Yes I would like to meet who ever I can. I am sleepy at the moment, just been a long day at my dau's baby shower and all the people. Will look into our communicating closer together .
