Guess I signed up at the right time! I am a native of Newberg, Yamhill county, Oregon and am trying to find any proof that my Great Grandfather and family actually came to Oregon on the Oregon Trail. Their names are: James and Elizabeth Atkinson and family. Their older son, Daniel, was my Grandfather. They left Meigs County, Ohio, in 1883 and arrived in the Polk County area. A year or so later, James bought available Indian land in Tillamook county and began a dairy farm at Sand Lake. All the family knows about the trip is that they came on the Oregon trail, sometime in 1883-1884. Is there some way to verify that? Paul Drahn, Redmond, Oregon
