My dad took the last name of his stepfather, Robbins, at the age of 18. My father was raised in the Yakima Valley. His mother's name was Cella Robbins. She was married to Gilber Eids and had two sons by him, Francis Eids and my father. The only information I have on my grandfather is that he was a "full blooded norwegian" and that my father bragged about his heritage, claiming he was related to Eric the Red. Nobody ever spoke of him, I am unsure if he walked away or died and never mentioned again. Any information you may have would be appreciated, as you can see, at this point I have absolutely nothing to go with. Thank you for your response.

No Dave, these are headstones in a cemetery. I am hoping to have digital photos taken and be able to send those to whoever can translate. If not then we have to have the person go to the cemetery. I will know more about this later. Maggie At 07:29 AM 6/19/2003 -0500, you wrote: >Is it a document that you have or is it somewhere on you computer? If on >your computer, copy and paste.

Is it a document that you have or is it somewhere on you computer? If on your computer, copy and paste. If a document, if you have a scanner, scan it on microsoft word and then copy and paste onto the translator website. Just an idea!!!

[snip] Darilee, After reading your email I did a little searching and found the Yakima Valley Genealogical Society Bulletin being sold at Amazon.com for $32.00. A check of the Society's web page showed that their Bulletin is included in one year's membership, which ranges from $20-$25.00. I have no affiliation with the YVGS and know nothing of its workings . . . it just happened to be alphabetically near one society I wanted to check for (which wasn't listed). I suppose it's possible Magazine Express has been making deals with various genealogical societies to promote their magazines and thus gain a little more income. There were over 600 listings when I searched on a combination of "magazines" and "genealogy" at Amazon.com. Beth

Here is a website that translates from English to many different languages and vice-versa. I've used it a few times, seems to work pretty well.

Hello Gang This information came through a USGenWeb Project List. I thought some on this list would find it interesting. Amazon.com has a Magazine Seller who is selling subscriptions to genealogical society's bulletins online. I'm not sure exactly how it works (but Magazine Express, Inc. has to be makin' money on the deal). One historical/genealogical society found their bulletin listed and filed a complaint and Amazon.com is working with them to remove their publication form Magazine Express list. Amazon.com... Amazon.com is working with the society... and I've a copy of Amazon.com's letter explaining the steps to be taken. I did find a listing for the Stillaguamish Valley Gen. Society and will be contacting them...

A year or so ago, someone volunteered to help me read foreign languages on tombstones. I have lost the name, and we have a need again.

I haven't had a computer for several months ~ I lost everything when it went ~ so am thankful that I found a few contacts back into my genealogy searching. I knew about the twin factor & will have to hopefully get the DeCamp history printed someday soon. Naturally I'm still digging on the "Joseph Stanford Shaffer" side, Emily's 1st husband & George Hull being her 2nd husband that ended in divorce.. It's a toughy!!

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Cottle, Miner, Platt Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CCC.2ACE/2478 Message Board Post: I am searching for info on Herbert T or F Miner aka Herbert "Bert" Cottel born Minnesota April 1880. His step father Samuel H. Cottel was born in Maine as was his father, his mother born in New Brunswick. Samuel, 31, was living with his 57 year old uncle Hamden C Cottel, also b. Maine. 1900 Quincile census shows Samuel H Cottle, wife Harriet (b. WI, parents, VT & NY) and step sons, Herbert T and Ralph. Herbert had at least four children in Washington: Herbert J. Miner, Esmeralda "Esma" Miner, Ralph Earle Miner & Walter. He died in 1913 and his death is recorded as Herbert T Miner aka Bert Cottle. In the 1920 Quincile, Jefferson Co WA census the eldest child Herbert J Miner is listed as grandson of a relative (of mine) Elizabeth Grant Platt. His siblings were living with "grandparents" Samuel H Cottle & Daisy Cottle. A Daisy Platt Cottle died in Jefferson Co in 1938. Trying to determine if Harriet and Daisy are the same and their tie to Elizabeth Grant Platt of NY, WI, & WA. Also who was the actual father of Herbert T Miner/Cottle.

Dear Kristine The DAVIS line I am researching (my husband''s) begins (family bible) with Willeam Birch Davis, born 1842, Jackson Co, NC. He married Carrie Happock Bryson. They appear on the Hamburg, NC census of 1880 and the Charleston, NC census of 1900, but soon thereafter, joined their children in WA. Willeam & Carrie Davis are buried at Oakpoint, WA along the Columbia River between Longview & Cathlamet. Three sons moved west, and later, other siblings and the parents followed. Many children: Alabama Georgia Davis, 1863; John Burton Davis 1866, Demaris Griffin DAvis 1869; Charles Whitfield Davis, 1872; C. Robert Davis, 1874; Mary Allen Davis 1877; Mayden Duckworth Davis 1879; Williann Rebecca Davis 1882; & descendents worked as loggers in the early 1900s (Rainier, OR and Oakpoint, WA)and moved northward to Ryderwood, WA, though some moved south into Oregon. Today, many grandchildren can be found in the Longview-Kelso vicinity. A DAVIS reunion is held the last weekend of August at Ryderwood. The line I research includes Mayden Duckworth Davis who married 1) Kansas Gibson and 2) Lottie McDaniels have a yearly reunion at Riverside Park (Longview, WA) the last Sunday of July. Are there any connections here for you?
