I am looking for anyone who may have information on the See families in Oregon. We just received the homestead records of Our grandfather, John Albert See, who homesteaded in Alberta Canada. These records show that he stated his age as 34 when he applied for his homestead and the document is stamp dated Sept.5, 1913. These records also show birthplace county USA and sub division of country birthplace as Oregon. He made his request for homestead from Missouri, was married at that time with wife and 5 children. We have a photocopy of John's marriage certificate to Rebecca Colter in Unionville Missouri and it shows the spelling of John as Johanne See. This is the only document we have so far with this spelling for John. We are trying to obtain a birth certificate of John so that we can find out for sure his parents names. If anyone on the list has any information that may help us pinpoint an area in Oregon to begin our search in obtaining this documentation it would certainly be appreciated. We have a birthdate on his death records given as March 3 1877, but we believe that this information was given by family members and may be in question, when looking at the homestead records we believe a more accurate date would be 1878 or 1879. I would be happy for any information on a John See born March 1877-1879. Thanks in advance for any information someone may have and a Very Happy New Year to everyone on the list.
