Dear Judy, Thank you for all of the information and insite. I am working on the Moran Cemetery this week and will work on Washington County and Oregon State records also for property records. It is interesting to us to know that buildings in Greenville Township were moved to Banks and why Greenville Township dwindled away. Will also work on locating the books Shelley mentioned. Thank you for your information, help and support. Darwin Saylor San Diego > From: "Judith E.
