I had an opportunity today to visit the library and would recommend if you get such an opportunity, do so. The Dalles Library is fortunate (through hard work and effort I'm sure) to have an outstanding genealogy section in its holdings. It has hundreds of genealogy related books in addition to collections stored in card-stock folders that are located in the enclosed glass bookcases. These folders are in heavy plastic file holders inside these bookcases. These card-stock folders are not stored alphebetically or indexed so be sure to give yourself plent of time to browse. They are continually adding to their inventory. I took an unscientific survey and learned the following: Name of county Plastic file holders Baker 1 Benton 1 Clackamas 3 Clatsop 1 Columbia 1 Coos 1 Crook 1 Curry 1 Deschutes 1 Douglas 4 Gilliam 1 Harney 1 Hood River 2 Jackson 2 Jefferson 1 Josephine 1 Klamath 1 Lane 4 Lake 1 Lincoln 1 Linn 3 Malheur 1 Marion 5 Morrow 1 Multnomah 2 Polk 1 Sherman 4 Tillamook 1 Umatilla 1 Union 1 Wallowa 1 Wasco 13 Washington 2 Yamhill 2 Oregon 6 Oregon State 4 Oregon Donation Land Claims 2 Washington State 4 Clark Numerous items Klickitat 1 Skamania 1 Yakima 2 Copied and submitted by Earline Wasser Member of Columbia Gorge Genealogical Society c/o The Dalles/Wasco County Public Library 722 Court Street The Dalles, Oregon 97058 http://community.oregonlive.com/cc/genealogy Browse http://historysavers.com/orwasco/ for recently updated information regarding Wasco County.
