I have been trying to locate a relative who was living in the Seattle area in the 1960's. Her maiden name was Caren Gail Chapman. I had a great deal of help from one member. From the information he provided, it seems that Caren married a Joe C. Cloud in 1963. They both worked for the Scott Paper Co. By 1968 Caren was living by herself in Everett and they appear to have separated. Nothing more was found. Caren's father, Dewey Chapman, was shot down and killed in the Korean War and I have some things I would like to get to her regarding her father. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

REMINDER: SGS CIG abt "Using DeedMapper Software" on Oct. 11th. October's Computer Interest Group program will be "Using DeedMapper Software in Land Record Research", presented by Mary Peters of the Fiske Genealogical Foundation. Ms. Peters writes: DeedMapper plots 'metes and bounds' parcels scaled to USGS topographical map scale (or to others). You can create the community and discover relationships through land sales and divisions of land. I think this often leads to identifying women's maiden names. It also helps untangle people having the same name by analyzing their landholdings and transfers. Deed Mapper is a menus-driven program for Windows. It has an excellent tutorial and a built-in test editor to enter 'metes and bounds' descriptions of property. Mary has pursued her ancestors and some live cousins for fifteen years. She was a student of Arthur Fiske for many years and she is now a volunteer at the Fiske Library. Please join us on Saturday, October 11, 2003 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. We will meet in the SGS Library at 6200 Sand Point Way NE in Seattle. Parking is available on the nearby streets. On the Metro Transit #74 & #75 bus lines. Accessible to the Handicapped. CIG MEETING LOCATION, DAY & TIME CHANGE CONFIRMED Beginning in December 2003 the Computer Interest Group meeting day, time and location will CHANGE to the first Saturday of each month from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Second Floor Conference Room at NARA, across the street from SGS.

The next WA census will be available in about 2012...as the census are held back due to "personal information" Your best bet is have someone check the city directories (Polk Directories, not a phone book but list of residents) of Tacoma for 1942 back. That will (hopefully) show Perry and Violet living there. If they did live there long enough, it might show Perry living with a "John" Cole at a different address a year/two before he is living there with Violet. It might even show Perry and Violet living at the same address as "John" and "Mary" Cole, or "John" and "Mary" Snow. But, if they only lived here after being married and just shortly, they might not show in any of the city directories. I checked the Social Security Death Index (SSDI) and found Brian Cole, born 8 Sep 1942, died August 1972. His SSN was 541-46-4103. You can order his SSN application that he made on an SS-5 by using the attached SSN letter (This will not make the PS ROots list. It'll cost you $27.00 for a copy of the original application or $16.00 for just a typed name list. Your other options are marriage records for WA. That will show the year that Perry and Violet married...if in Washington. You just might have some Canadians moving into the US after marriage. You could try Birth records, but since the person is living, you may not be able to order them; but your friend could. Good luck Ron Bestrom

Cyndi & all on the PSRoots list: Hi! My name is Nancy Smith, and I am interested in finding the roots of the Cole family (although I don't know specifically WHICH Cole family...yet) in the Pacific Northwest. I don't know much, but I do know that my friend's grandparents were named Perry Cole (he was Canadian) and Violet Cole (nee Snow). Beyond that, all I can say is that my friend's father (Brian) was born in Tacoma in 1942, and his brother (older) was named Michael; his younger sister (don't know how much younger) is named Cathy. They moved to the Portland area shortly after Brian's birth. And that is the extent of my knowledge....well, almost. Does anyone know how to start from there? Ordering Brian's birth certificate seems the next step. Seeing the closest Census is the next. Did Washington do a state census in 1940? Any hints or whatever would be greatly appreciated! Thanks and hope you all have a nice Sunday evening and beautiful Monday!

While at the Puyallup Fair I stopped at the Tacoma-Pierce County Genealogical Society area. I noticed a book in a display case "1892 Pierce County, Washington Auditor's Census." Is there someone that could do an index look-up of three surnames: FRENCH, SHUTES and CHIDESTER? If there are these names listed I will look for the book ... hopefully at the downtown Seattle Public Library. Thanking you in advance. Audrey Cox Vogelpohl Seattle, Washington

It might interest you to know that we have a research service at the Seattle Genealogical Society (website at end of this). Basically, we request a nonrefundable $10 donation (if possible), and a business-size SASE. A couple of extra 23-cent stamps (returnable) are a good idea, too, in case we find a lot, and make several copies. We will send you copies of anything we find.
