Jerry, Thought you would like the Rick's College, Idaho, website for MARRIAGES. They are adding names all the time. Everyone would enjoy putting all their surname into the search to see what comes up!! http://abish.ricks.edu/fhc/fhchome.asp Laura in Seattle -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Linder [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2000 7:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Chester Roice My family came from Kansas to Boise, Idaho in 1890. They were not in a wagon train but met with several different groups on the trail. My grandfather said that one time they camped beside a railroad track across a canyon and timed the trains for three days. Then they crossed the canyon on the train tressel between the trains. As near as we can figure, it was in what is now Wyoming. Has anyone else heard about this? Does anyone know where it is located. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Carla

One of my family folk wrote an Oregon Trail memoir (very brief) and mentions a "pole bridge" in Kansas, 1852, thus: "My Father, Mother & Brothers and 1 sister I was the Youngest. I was 11 years old July 26 That year we was thretened by the Indians whoo had taken possession of a Pole bridge built by the Indians across a Small Stream in a wet brushy bottom the Indians were Demanding toll for crossing the Bridge just at the time we got there the Emigrants had concluded They would not pay Tole the Indians Said must So the Emigrants armed Themselves and Started on The Indians armed and Painted were Peaking through the brush every where but made no Fight" Another memoir (different people, different train) called "On To Oregon," mentions "...what was then known as a corduroy bridge. This was made by placing poles and brush over the mud, on which all our train might pass without miring down." Is a corduroy bridge the same thing as a pole bridge?

There were Bonney's in the Portland area in the '50's because my dad bought a saddle from him. His shop was call Kuck and Bonney's Saddle shop. The saddles were handmade. He could have come from the Umatilla area originally because my folks were from Morrow and Gilliam Co. and that may be how my dad knew of him. Marlene

Kuck and Bonney's saddle shop was in The Dalles, Wasco County!

Thanks everyone for all the wonderful ideas. I will have a very busy day at The Dalles if I get just a part of your suggestions done. Thanks again, LeRena

Hi Stephen.... Things have been quite, I post almost everyday something. I think there was a virus scare, things are quite all over. Keep up the good work, Laura -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Clark [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2000 2:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: postings I haven't had any new mail from this list since 5/7/00. Is the list still up? I hope you all have been getting the continuing parts of my series "The Elliot Cut Off and The Lost Wagon Train of 1853. I have posted parts 1 - 9 so far. If you are missing any of these parts please contact me. Thanks Stephen

Hi LaRena (and anyone else with an interest in Wasco Co.) A couple of places you won't want to miss are the "obvious" ones -- the library genealogy department and the county courthouse. You might want to check with Lorna Elliot, the genealogy librarian, ahead of time so she can get a locator beacon out for things she knows you'll want to see. Let her know who you're researching, and I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed by what she has figured out for you by the time you get there. Especially if you give her enough advance warning. :-) Another group you'll surely want to contact (one of their head haunchos is on this list, so she might have already contacted you after your post) is the Columbia Gorge Gen Soc. They have a lot of resources that the library doesn't necessarily have, from private collections & such. These folks are some terrific people and again, if given some advance notice, they might really be able to help you narrow the scope of your hunting mission. Lorna Elliot (the librarian) is also a member of this organization, but as I said, not all of their resources are located at the library, by any stretch. If you're not already a member of CGGS, you might consider joining, since the benefits are many and the cost is very, very little. To access their website directly, go to: http://community.oregonlive.com/cc/genealogy You'll want to make a stop at the Discovery Center, too, which is one of the historical delights not far off the Interstate. If your ancestors lived in the area south of Dufur, you'll probably enjoy a trek to Maupin to enjoy the South Wasco Library. I wasn't aware of this one until recently, but I can assure you that I will make the effort to drive the few extra miles this year when I'm in the area, and check this place out. They tell me they have a lot of old photos (mostly identified) of area residents and events from the early years, and many other resources that they love to share. And don't forget (if you have time, that is) to visit the LDS Family History Center there in The Dalles, because they, too, have quite an assortment of unique resources that can't be found anywhere else. Many of these resources have links on the Wasco Co. "Resource" page (URL in my signature, below), and the ones that aren't there yet should be posted there no later than this weekend (I'm in the middle of another horrendous update to the site). My best advice is to contact all that are listed there right away, to give them as much forewarning as possible. Then check back at the site again on Monday and get the contact info for the others. I hope this helps a little. -- Cheri [email protected] --->>>^<<<--- Wasco Co., OR GenWeb site--> http://www.historysavers.com/orwasco/

go to www.historysavers.com/orwasco then click on RESOURCES. Cheri has given a good indication of where to obtain information on state and local levels.
