And thank-you to all those who help with indexing Oregon. Eugene ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: "Gerald S.

I started to index Oregon later than most but, all of a sudden, it wasn't available any more. I then switched my indexing to Wisconsin, the state of my birth. It's one of those in need of a leader to get things done. Thanks again for your leadership for Oregon indexing for the FamilySearch team. Gerry Lenzen Gerald S.
