Laura, The "f" is a German looking "s". If you move the "s" and the "n" one position, then you do have Clatskanie. I can find no place in the world that starts with "Claf".

I check the official Oregon map. The closest I cam to it was Clatskanie. Methinks it was a reporter's error. It was given as the location of a relative of a deceased person with German from Russia heritage.

I hope someone who finds it is working again will post here. I am doing a Donation Land Claim project and need the Master Title Plats. Fortunately I have a few printed to work on.

Hey, just wanted to give you guys all you guys who were at the Forum last Thursday a shout out. I just saw a promo for Saturday night's movie and she was talking from the Forum. And she mentioned our name! People (I couldn't see who ... I was too surprised!) were in the background at tables, researching. Y'all made it look great. You're all famous now! Julie

Just a reminder that the Round Table will meet on Monday, April 25th. Bring your brick wall problems, genealogical questions, or your expertise to be helped and help your fellow researchers. We'll meet at 6:30 in the library. As I am unable to be there (due to a family commitment), Jim Rogers has kindly agreed to facilitate the meeting, so go easy on him. Hope to see some of you there- Julie Kidd

The movie airs Saturday evening, April 23rd, from 6 pm until 8 pm and is rated PG-13. The movie stars Robert Duvall and James Earl Jones. During the intro and a couple of the breaks there will be footage shot in our library along with some short interviews with our very own Connie Lenzen being interviewed by Daria O'Neill. The film was shot last week, so it is possible that you might see a few familiar faces in the background! Thanks to all who helped to make this happen! Jan, R-334

I've been searching around a bit about the BLM Web site problem. Here's a couple of links to explore if you want to understand why they are down: http://genealogy.about.com/b/a/074070.htm http://www.windley.com/archives/2004/03/whys_interior_o.shtml Who knows when they will be back! Peggy

It's been down for at least a week. When I tried to access it yesterday, I finally read the screen and they say they are down for "unexpected maintenance."
