Thank you mysammam. The last document that went online here was claimed by family in about three weeks. It is an impossible task I know, but I would like to see all old docs and photos, bibles, etc. find their real family's home.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of William F. SCHOEN which was taken at the C. Fritz Studio in Forest Grove, Oregon. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with William likely about 2-3 years old at the time. Based on limited research I believe that this is a photograph of William son of Fred W. & Edna SCHOEN who appear in the 1900 census of Washington Co., OR along with two children, William age 7, and Harry age 3. Fred W. is listed as 33 years old, born in Pennsylvania to German born parents, his wife Edna is age 27, also born in PA to German born parents. During the 1910 census the family is living in Cornelius, OR with 4 children, William age 17, Harry age 13, Herman age 7, and Esther age 2. The Mother's name is noted as "Ida" during this census report; however it is noted that she and Fred W. have been married for 18 years so I don't believe this is a different wife, just a different name recorded. The family also has a servant living with them at the time as well. In 1920, William F. SCHOEN is recorded in the census of Cornelius, OR listing his age as 29, with a wife, Emma age 23, and son Milvin age 1 year. Emma is noted as born in Nebraska to German born parents and William is farming. I'm hoping to locate someone from this SCHOEN Family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to its rightful place with their family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Surnames: Mandell Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/5cB.2ACI/691 Message Board Post: My grandmothers brother Antti Emil Mandell moved from Finland to U.S.A. in 1924. Unfortunately we do not hav a much information about he and his relatives across the sea. So if anyone has information about Antti, died in Portland abovementioned day, please let us know. Maybe he is not a person we are looking for but this will be verified later. Antti was born in Naantali 9th of April 1883 and left Finland 29th of April 1883. I have a clue that he visited U.S.A. already around 1905 but this is not 100% sure. He may also have used name Anders in some cases.

John Cox Lois Lillian and James Sterling married and had Nadine Lois Johnston b. July 7, 1929, Portland, Oregon. James, Lois and Nadine all died in Portland, Oregon. Nadine died a year ago. She had no siblings. She was closest to her Uncle George who passed years ago. She didn't really keep in touch with many of her relatives. She and my husband adopted each other years ago. We have many family photos, wills, and such that I think should go to blood relatives. Is anyone familiar with any of these families? We are really hoping to return these items to their rightful owners, but if we can't find anyone does anybody have any suggestions on what to do with it? I am really hoping that someone can help me with this project. Thank you, Sherri ______________________________
