My dad's name is Billy Trickey(deceased) and his family is in and around the Yakima/Naches area as well as some in Port Angeles. My mom's name is Charlene Dailey and her family is mainly around the Port Angeles/Seattle area. I am in the process of beginning my geneaological research for both family names......I am currently working on the Trickey(dad) side and then I will search for the Dailey(mom) side. Or should I try them both at once? If anyone has any suggestions, pleeeaaaase send them my way. I hope I e-mailed the correct list. Let me know otherwise...... Thanks for the nice welcome Cyndi! Jen

Jen-- Welcome to the list. I went to school at Naches and still live in the area. When was your dad born? Recommend that you work one line for a while until you get stuck or need a break, then work on the other line. Sometimes, when you lay aside one line that you might be having problems with, you can come back to it and everything falls in to place, or you have new ideas. Judy

Thank you, I wish to acknowledge the many responses I rec'd via PSR & personal e-mail re the Subject info. I rec'd that info from my son. Boeing employees tend to pass this kind of info among their vast population as concern for commuting and their families wherever are paramount. Naturally, this extends to ALL OF US. At this point, I would like to DISPELL something that I saw among that List of Preparation that really bothered me, and that was under the subject POWER in that List. The statement "A cell phone works even when phone lines go down." is a misnomer in my book. The cell phone unit is a small low powered unit which is designed to communicate to a pod. A pod is a form of repeater which will pick up the low powered phone unit and retransmit the original signal into regular phone lines, possibly into a satellite, or other forms of retransmitting the original voice transmission. If the pod is damaged, or its antennas fail, there will be no retransmission of the original signal. If the phone lines are impaired, the pod (repeater) would be useless, and in the case of a major disaster that could easily happen. Another thing, generally, phone lines would be congested to the point where one could not even access the busy phone lines because of the emergency situation. This is most likely to happen and must be considered as a WARNING that phone access is not likely to happen. Our e-mail etc. use phone lines, even for a few seconds while sending or receiving such as in Juno which doesn't tie up the phone line except for the few seconds when sending or receiving messages. Since the phone lines are needed along with many servers, e-mail would very probably be impaired beyond use in a disaster. Therefore, we must be FOREWARNED that we cannot rely on these to provide the communication we had hoped to contact our loved ones, or for help, etc. This is where ham radio can help. Ham antennas can also be destroyed or impaired, but there are enough qualified hams around all of us that can provide those communications as the history of their ability to do so has shown in the years since radio transmission began. You may not hear a lot about it but in every disaster, or event that has a need for critical communications the hams are there to provide it completely voluntarily and cannot by law charge for any of its services or communications provided under their licenses. Amateur radio operators, or hams, as they are fondly called all over the world often have their CALL LETTERS as their automobile license plates. This is NOT a vanity plate, and is licenses separately, because the PURPOSE for doing so is to allow identification of an automobile that may or may not be able to provide Emergency Communications in a disaster. During a disaster, and the pandimonium that goes with it, authorities can often find a means of communications by the license plate identified by the call letters. This idea began in Florida many years ago when it was started as the results of a disaster situation. In fact I was able to meet one of the hams who started the idea when I met him at Mount Rainier many years ago. The idea spread all over the 50 states and most of the countries of the World. Again, thank you for your great response to the Information which I simply passed on as it seemed to fit well with the "Soundshake '98" report, and the segment on the Amateur Radio Service. It is a FREE Service as it is unlawful to accept remuneration for its services locally, or otherwise. It communicates, but it does not "broadcast" such as music, advertising, business transactions as these are forbidden by U. S. laws, and by International Agreement with other countries of the World. 73, or Best Ragards, Carroll of Snohomish. * * * 30 * * * Thanks a Meg. Patty for enhancing the value of this info from one who has been through some of it, and appreciates the value of being prepared in times of disaster, whether at home, or out on the road where every second counts.

Hi, Yes, I have been there! The only one that is mine is William Samuel Fuson. Thanks Cherly. I am in Port Angeles, on the Olympic Peninsula. I have 4 active boys. I haven't been to Seattle of Silverdale in at least 4 years.I think the last time was Christmas shopping at Toys R Us!! I don't want to take them with me...and I can't leave them! Vicious cycle!! LOL I appreciate your offer to look up the info for me! Did you see the info I posted about Jennie's parents yesterday?? I had been told by very old and distant (Calif) family member that Jennie's father was Bernie Jones. I found him on the 1900 Lewis Co. census yesterday and he is James B. Jones born in IL and NOT MN like I was told!!! I was also told that he was a teacher, but the census says he was a laborer at a saw mill. So this is all new to me and very exciting. I can't wait to get back to our little FHC, open little more than 3 days a week, and start combing the other films! I have found so much more on the Fuson line since last year when I couldn't even get them out of WA state! LOL, But the marriage date eludes me, as does Jennie Amelia Jones Fuson's info. I looked up on the IGI for her father in IL yesterday, but nothing showed. It may be a slow go on the Jones name! How exciting that you get to Wenatchee and traispe around!!! Someday, I took forward to doing that kind of thing!! Have fun, Cheryl and I'll look forward to hearing from you again!

Hello to all, I am looking for the above two PENROSE women and their families. Mary Elizabeth "Bessie" PENROSE b. 4/9/1874 married Sylvan CHANDLEY in August of 1912. She died 7/14/1947 at Tacoma. Anna Floy PENROSE was born 3/4/1878. She married Nelson WEHRHAN in 1904. She died 7/25/1974 in Des Moines, IA. Buried Tacoma. These sisters were born in Fayette Twp., Linn Co, IA. Their father was Lewis PENROSE, mother Sarah Elizabeth Cleckner. They have a brother, Harry Jefferson PENROSE, born 6/17/1872. Married Bessie H. BOYD 8/9/1905 in Cedar Rapids, IA. He died 8/31/1948 at Shellsburg, Benton Co, IA I would very much appreciate any information, obituaries, census, etc. anyone might have or wouldn't mind looking up for me. I would very much like to find any and all of my "missing" cousins!! I hope they would like to find there's as well. TIA Janis

Heritage Quest Research Library happens to have the Pierce County Marriage Index on microfilm. They will sometimes do lookups for you by request if you are not close to their library. You might want to call them to find out! I am going to Wenatchee the weekend of October 3 to see all of the FUSON, HEWLING, CORN, COUCHMAN, MADDOX family that is buried there... a couple dozen people! And to meet my aunt, who I have not met before! She's my dad's sister. I have a city directory for Kitsap County, 1929. Neither Cordell or Jennie are listed in it at that time. That may be a clue that they were still in Pierce County in 1929. It might be a safe bet that they met, married and had their child in Pierce County then moved to Kitsap County after 1929. Never know! I will be going to the Tacoma Library next week and will lookup everything I can find on them there and get back to you.

First of all, I would like to share with you the critique of findings as the result of "SOUNDSHAKE '98" in which amateur radio operators or hams provided organized communications in a SIMULATED disaster exercise. In this case it was a severe earthquake in which many water supplys, bridges, power outages, buildings et al collapsing, hospital disasters, fire, police, and emergency services were suddenly caught in a devastating situation. This requires the use of battery, generator, etc. power sources that would not be the usual sources for maintaining communications and dispatching aid to wherever it was needed at the time. This took place Tues. Sept 22, '98 and you probably saw blips of it on TV, or perhaps some newspaper coverage. We have learned from Mt. St. Helens, and other major disasters all over the Nation and the World in fact how important preparation for such events can make a difference pro or con. The evaluation report I listened to on a conclave of the ham participants was this: 1. Speaking too fast when passing messages is a fault that must be considered and kept in mind. This correction must be practiced until it is done in a manner which will provide the greatest efficiency of communications clarity, and especially in an emergency situation where the situation in the real thing is that of pandimonium, fear in life threatening situations, but can be life saving if done with control and care for the greatest efficiency of communication. 2. Message forms which were of an unusual nature or not standardized. It is to be able to copy messages on a form that asks for, or provides the necessary data for the completion of the message. In the real situation, where nerves are tested, certain important data may be inadvertantly omitted. A form for the purpose of gathering all of the important data is necessary for efficiency of conveying the proper amount of information whatever the problem may be. The forms for this kind of information need to be standardized so that less confusion results from unfamiliar data recording. 3. All sources for emergency power, including all connectors, equipment, etc. that are needed at the site or that can be conveyed to the site should be ready and working in as little down time as possible. Instances were cited in the report in which antennas, cables, etc had previously been "installed" at a fire station, but the ham sent to that station was not able to USE the installation because someone had dropped the ball in completing the installation and the system was rendered useless, so the ham had to use his little "rubber ducky" antenna on his equipment to barely communicate. This could be the difference between a life or death situation if the communication is lacking. 4. Lack of activity on the part of some at the public safety bldg. Seattle was noted as a weak link. Seattle is a city that needs all it can get in a disaster waiting to happen. 5. A sheriff's office needs more cooperation than it provided - it wanted to shut down early, and that doesn't happen when the real thing happens. Treating a situation lightly in practice may prove to be valuable in the real sense, taking nothing for granted. 6. Radio interference at various locations is always a problems for radio communications to deal with. This can be noise from machinery, or stations interfering unintentionally with each other when they are located close to each other. Intermod. or intermodulation is one of the technical terms used. Sometimes shielding can help or the use of filters, but oftentime it is something that must be tolerated unless it can be remedied. All in all the simulated situation was very successful and with practice and cooperation these other details can be solved so that when "the big one hits" whether that is an earthquake, storm, explosion, or whatever, the persons who have honed themselves to remain calm as possible under the circumstances, and provide communications in order to save lives, and property as much as possible will have been achieved. Now, this morning I just got the following on my screen. No one, in my estimation can predict an earthquake accurately, tho the prediction of the Mt. St Helens disaster was being forwarned for months before it actually took place. At least one ham or more gave his life while up on that mountain reporting back to base, as I listened to him do so. A National Geographic photographer, I believe, and scientists were involved, reporting their findings. Many were involved in that event. WX or weather events are not that predictable and especially in our Northwest Region where so many factors enter into a prediciton that it is something that meteorologists live with, but continually attempt to refine. So, below I will include what was sent to me this morning. I consider it a Warning more than I do a Predicition, but just like the Earthquake, an erupting mountain, an explosion, and weather it is a fact of life that these events can and will happen. Therefore, the more we can prepare ourselves for such an event the better. Most of us glide along in Life procrastinating and I am probably the prime example but we have here been forwarned and it is up to us to do something about it, or wait til it happens and THEN we do the best we can, which may not be good enough.

Nell, I received the War Chart. I saw that you got it from the Lafferty Mailing list. I am researching my Lafferty lines and have hit a brick wall. I would be very interested in the mail list. I am fairly new to computers and genealogy, so I am unsure as to where I can find out about the list. Any pointers you might offer, would be greatly appreciated.
