Jim: Check out this database at the Oregon Archives: http://159.121.115.13/databases/searchgeneal.html Search for your Jerman name in Marion County. Your William J and Martha are there on the 1895 census. Also looks like there were more Jermans in that house or in another household because there are quite a few listed for the same census page. Here is the website you need to have the archives send you copies of the census. Have fun. http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/reference.html *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Linda Nichols bigred@cc.northcoast.com Family Genealogy: http://www.my-ged.com/nichols/ Del Norte County, CaliforniaGenWeb: http://www.compuology.com//cagenweb/delnocty.htm Marion County, OregonGenWeb: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ormarion/ Homepage: http://www.cc.northcoast.com/~bigred *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
