Thank you, Sherri Harmon < No. The houses were renumbered about 1933. There is a book which gives the change in numbers at the Multnomah County library. You can often get the exact change in numbers by comparing the reverse section of the city directories before and after the change. I have a 1930 directory here, which does not show a house numbered 1295, but 1294 is the house nearest to what today is the intersection of NE 19th & Ainsworth. Incidentally, at that time, there were only two houses beyond Ainsworth on E 19th N. So it appears as though this was an area of new growth at the time.

> Hi, I just received copies from a 1929-31 probate file from Multnomah County Court. The court ordered that the executors post notice of the probate in a newspaper called "Sunday Welcome of Portland, Oregon." Has anyone heard of this paper? Is it part of one of the local papers or was it a paper special to those times? Thanks. shaunta< According to their inventory, the University of Oregon has only the following issues of this paper: Dec 21, 1879; May 7, 1882 ; May 14, 1927; June 28, 1930. According to "History of Oregon Newspapers" by George S. Turnbull, the Welcome was owned by J. F. Atkinson, who had previously published the "Evening Bulletin," and later published the "Sunday Chronicle". The Welcome began publication in 1875. It doesn't give a date of final publication. So the answer to your question is, it was a separate paper - published only on Sunday- but it looks doubtful as to whether there are copies of it available.

Hi Everyone, After spending about $60.00 on SSDI applications I have finally come up with a connection... (five out of six weren't my relatives....) I'm wondering if there is some kind soul out there who could do a look-up in the Oregonian (Portland Newspaper) for me for the obituary information for the following person. William Francis Wagner Birth June 14, 1906, Vancouver, Washington Mother: Delia Catherine Martin Father: John George Wagner I'm looking for information on his next of kin at the time of his death... The SSDI lists his death as having taken place in November of 1976 but doesn't give a day. Any information would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you for your time... Sincerely, Deborah BC, Canada

Hi Everyone, In the 19th century, some members of the DAGUE family moved from the Midwest to your county. We want to let DAGUE researchers know that we have established a DAGUE Rootsweb list. The name of the list reflects our surname in Germany -- DEEG. Other spellings have been DEG and DAGE/DAG (in America), DEEGEN (in Germany) and other variations of the spelling of our surname. If you are a DAGUE/related families researcher, we are happy to invite you to join us on the DEEG list. To subscribe, send an e-mail to: DEEG-L-request@rootsweb.com Leave the e-mail blank, except for typing "subscribe" (without the parentheses) in the body of the message. We are looking forward to meeting you and finding our family connections. Cathy Martin ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Hello, ****Please excuse this, if this is a duplicate posting. I just finished indexing and scanning the 1934 Roosevelt High School yearbook (Portland, Multnomah county, Oregon). <A HREF="http://www.usgw.org/or/multnomah/portland/roosevelt/1934/index.html"> Roosevelt 1934</A> 678 students, 33 staff members, and 52 businesses The indexes are alphabetical, with links to the scanned pages :-) This was my grandmother's (Ethel W. Lund-Richardson) senior yearbook. The LUNDs (actually ISAACSONs) and RICHARDSONs lived in both Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR for many years. In this yearbook, many of the students actually signed the book... you can see their signatures :-) Some of the pages load slowly... I tried to balance between sharpness and file size... one or the other had to give... but it turned out fairly well for a faded yearbook.. Hope someone can find an ancestor or two here!! thanks Pat <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/gninnah/cemetery.html">Portland,OR - Vancouver,WA Cemeteries & Photos</A>

The book begins with Robert Emmerson and Sarah Compton (John Emmerson Sr's parents) and gives a detailed history of the family from Prince Edward Island to New Brunswick, etc. The book will also give an account of the Compton ancestry including Sarah's voyage from England to Prince Edward Island in 1775. The book includes detailed research information I have compiled over 20 years. The only part that needs additional information is the descendant section. Brent bglad@burgoyne.com

Simply stated, MT SB443 is designed to prohibit the destruction of old public records [over 10 years] before notifying specifically listed historical agencies, including public individuals. You can follow the pathway the bill has taken by visiting http://www.state.mt.us/ , then click "2001 Legislative Session," then "Look Up Bill Information." This link will take you to a search engine where you can enter SB, then 443. Follow the path and you can read for yourself what the bill says to determine what to say in your letters to the legislators. As of 3/14/2001, the bill has been tabled in the second House committee session. I intend to provide my own outcry to preserve the records for my MT traces on two lines back to the late 1800s.

It has the email addresses for MOST BUT NOT ALL. I wrote a SHORT ( the longer it is the less likely it is to be read) note pleading for the preservation of my husband's and children's history. His family has been in Missoula for over one hundred years. (You must in some way state a relationship with Montana for the message/testimony to carry any weight) I then COPIED it and then just went down the list, clicking on each email and pasting my messages onto each of the emails. I realize I could have sent one message collectively, but in my experience if it appears to be more personal it stands a better chance than one that is sent in a blanket manner. I gave my name and address at the end even though it outside of Montana. It is generally required in other testimony that I have been involved in. This destruction of documents just makes me sick and I urge you all to write immediately. It only took me an hour to contact all of those that had an email address. I consider it an hour well spent!

This was a response I received from a posting on a Montana mailing list I subscribe to regarding the destruction of ancestral records in Montana! I asked if there was any action I could take as my mother was born in Butte and I have an interest in preserving these records. I thought those of you with connections to Montana should be aware of the situation and hopefully will take action too! "I would think that the more who wrote the better. Make sure the families who write explain that they're interested in preserving their Montana family records, as the site requires a person to put their home address and they'll see it's from out of state. In the comment section, just mention the reasoning for wanting the bill to pass - their Montana ancestral records. If you have any other questions, Patti Marchington is heavily involved in Helena. Her email address is below." Please take the time read this message and respond to those mentioned below via e-mail. Subject: Urgent--SB 443 Hearing update for Genealogists & Historians, SB 443 had tons of opposition from the lobbyist for: The Clerk of District Court Assoc. The Clerk & Recorder's Assoc. The Treasurer Assoc. and opposition from the: The School Insurance Assoc. The State Fund for Workmen Comp. The State Historical Society Library The Secretary of State Brown's Office (I hope I didn't leave anyone out...) They brought up all kinds of things that twisted SB 443 into something that it wasn't. SB 443 only concerns Public Records that are being destroyed in County Courthouses...not anything to do with Workmen's Comp., School anything, etc. Only to give "Notice" to the Public...the State Historical Soc, Historical & Genealogy Soc., down to the Public to have a chance to Preserve our MT History! I showed the House-State Admin. Committee today, 3 Old Record Books originally from Park County Courthouse, that were thrown away. These are: 1897 Voter Registration Book (name, age, birthplace, & address were listed for each voter). 1889 Court Ledger Book...that on the last page has the old 1889 to 1890 marriage records. 1904 City of Livingston Census Book (has names of all family members, occupation of head of household, ages, & addresses). These books were "rescued" by a Historian that happened by the trash cans by the Courthouse and were "saved" in our local Yellowstone Gateway Museum here in Park County....But many, many other records have been lost forever. Our Park County has thrown away the old MT. Marriage Application Books...as many other counties have done, because the Clerk of District Court Assoc. has said they have to... (None of the MT Old Marriage Application Books from about 1865/1889 to 1960s have been copied!). No Courthouse is willing to tell exactly what records have been destroyed, how many, what they are, etc. We don't have an accounting on anything. I had really thought it would be a simple thing to just have the Courthouses to "post" on the wall of the Courthouse the list of Records that they didn't want (or had no room for). And since most Courthouses around MT have e-mail (with more coming on-line everyday), they could just e-mail the State Historical Society of that list of unwanted Records. The State Historical Society (that does not want these records) would look on their lists of local Historical & Genealogy Societies for the area in and around the County that doesn't want the records...and the Public & MT State Historical & Genealogy Societies would all be notified! Very little work on the part of the Courthouses. No cost to the County. After the listings of the local Historical & Genealogy Societies' e-mails on the State Historical Society Library Computer database...very little work (not compared to the priceless preserving of history). If Montana does not come up with a simple plan like this to preserve our MT History NOW....a lot more RECORDS WILL BE DESTROYED!!!! MT Courthouses do not have the space for these Records...they will not be expanding their Courthouse Buildings. They say Micro-filming is too expensive. The Montana Clerk of District Court & Clerk & Recorder Assoc.s will continue to hire their lawyers & lobbyist to tell the MT Researcher what Records we can see, what Records that will no longer exist, while they and all of the Courthouse clerks will be the only ones to have Access, BUT NOT THE PUBLIC. Please call or e-mail these House of Representatives on the House-State Administration Committee.
