My husband's ancestors came to Kent / Orillia area in the 1890's previously to Clallam Co in 1880's. I know of a few cemeteries I want to search, but if I wanted to find the best records for that area of King county, where would you recommend? To answer the question that I see arrising from this query, family names in that area are: EATON, ANDERSON, DRABING, MARTIN, JOHNSON, RIGGS, VOWELL, HOOK, HODGES, BARNHARDT, SIEFERT, LOVE, BRUNTZ, Laura DigMyPast@msn.com >> Try this book: Early Suise Creek Emigrants, Kent WA, by Louise Merritt, published Dec. 1995. Names from the Suise Creek Cemetary, that are found in the table of contents that are on your list: Johnson (several). Has an early 1900s kroll map, showing property owners. Contains family biographies. Good luck.
Thank you! Will check it out. Here in Bellevue now. Going to Bellevue library tomorrow, downtown Seattle Tuesday, Auburn Wednesday or Thursday!
