Hi, In my previous message I referred to the late 1900s, whereas I should have stated the late 1800s. Thank you. -- Robert H. & Doris A. Ferree P.O. Box 116, Grizzly Flats California 95636 U.S.A. 530.621.0813 robertf@innercite.com

Hi, We are seeking information on John and Huldur (AHLBERG) VICKLUND, their two children Elsa and Albert and Albert's children "Vicki" and Hubert. Both John and Huldur, daughter of David Gustaf and Anna Christina (Anderson) AHLBERG, immigrated from Sweden in the late 1900s. David G. AHLBERG is of Sandsjö, Sweden. We are told that John VICKLUND is from Sundsval(could that be Sandsjö ?), Sweden. This family lived, at one time or another, in Hoquiam and Sedro Wooly. We have information from a resident of Seattle that needs confirmation and U.S. Census films are on order. Records on the AHLBERG family of Cleveland, Ohio are available from us. Any information would be welcome. Doris (Danielson) Ferree -- Robert H. & Doris A. Ferree P.O. Box 116, Grizzly Flats California 95636 U.S.A. 530.621.0813 robertf@innercite.com

Hello, I am new to this list and am looking for information on the "Compton" Cemetery in Hoquiam. My great grandmother Ruth Anna Cadwalader Tovrea was buried there in 1936. Recently a fellow genealogist and some friends visited the cemetery. There are only about 4 or 5 graves there as it was on private property. The graves have sunk and there is only one headstone remaining. The other stones have either sunk as well or have been stolen. Does anyone have any information on the cemetery, and the family that owned it? To my knowledge, Ruth Anna was not related to anyone named Compton, and according to her death certificate one of the causes of death was "senility" so I am fairly sure she was not an employee. The only stone found read "George W Yount, born 1887 and died 1936." I do not know who this person is either. Any information would be appreciated. Gladys Tovrea-Brandstoettner wbrand@gj.net

I am a new subscriber and I am looking for information about my great uncles who lived in Lake Quinalt. I did not know these uncles and am hoping that someone might be able to tell me how to find out about them. They lived there at least as early as 1964 and Leon Anderson just died in Dec 1999 according to the social security index. Richard would be nearly 90 if he were still living. My grandparents were divorced and my father was adopted by his step-father. I am researching both my "real" families and my adopted families. Makes for a very interesting tree. If anyone has knowledge of these men or some suggestions on where I might be able to get some information I would really appreciate hering from you. Thanks, Marge Van Hemert Bonita, CA

Wa Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wa/GraysHarbor?read=29 Surname: WALKER, CONKLE ------------------------- Was hoping a Walker relative (or anyone) in Aberdeen, WA would help me locate the grave location of Joseph Walker, son of Thomas T. Walker and Goldia Conkle. Joseph died at 8 months old (probably in Aberdeen) of a heart condition. probably aproximately 1924 + or - 2 years. He is in a picture with his older sister who apears to be about 5. . . which is where we came up with the aprox date . . .could be off even more. He was 8 months old. . . so if we/you were to find an infant Joseph Walker about then we could check the parents and see if it is them Any help would be appreciated. Thank you Jackie magenta@micronet.net
