I've just indexed some of the family history books available for research at the Linn County Museum in Brownsville. I didn't know if researchers know these are available. They also have a file cabinet with nearly all of the 1200+ donation land claim holders from Linn County, and many of these files contain information not found elsewhere. The family histories are in addition to cemetery records, census records, and a wealth of photographs. http://www.usgennet.org/alhnorus/ahorlinn/bhistories.html Linn County Historical Museum, P.O. Box 607, Brownsville, OR, 97327. The museum features historical exhibits, gift shop and video theatre. Hours: Open daily, Monday-Saturday 11-4, Sunday 1-5. Voluntary donation. A wonderful place to spend the day!
