So I unfortunately found no one at the time who wanted them. As for my surnames, I have been doing research for several years on all 10 families, came over the Oregon Trail 1845-1853, and do have lots........my family says tooo much information as I have a tall 4 drawer steel file cabinet, and a huge collection of antique photos, my main aim there is Oregon and WA, but only have about 100 of the total of 500. A lot of the photos do not unfortunately have names...darn. So I am going to a huge reunion at Scio,Linn Co this fall, as that is where I was raised. My gr grandparents settled in Blachly, where my grandmother Thella Rust was born, my mother and I was born in Eugene in hospital, but my parents at the time lived in Blachly. So I have a go! od deal of backgraound in Oregon and WA, my father was born there.
