Hi Shirley, Thanks very much for the info. I saw your name and wondered if the Oakes might be related. I've been in touch with Colville Historical recently. They did some research for me not long ago. I signed up on this list looking for information around TriCities & Ellensburg where I was born. And was very surprised to run into your Oakes name on this list. I guess it's not such a small world after all. Thanks again, Lisa Judd -------------- Original message -------------- > Hi Alisa, > Your message was posted and sent to me, as I am an Oakes. > However, my line is from Kansas to Oregon, but I do know that there is a > large Oakes family in the Newport & Coliville, WA area. > The Oakes Boys are big in car racing, and well known. > > I'm sure that others will be writing to you also from the Coliville area > (Northeastern Genealogical Society, Colivlle), and may be others from EWGS. > > If you haven't been in touch with NEGS in Colivlle, you should.
