Colleen I live close to Brooklyn. It is located about 10 miles from Aberdeen on 101 between Aberdeen and Raymond in Grays Harbor County. It is a few miles off of 101. There is not much out there now. I believe a tavern, a cemetery and a small school that is still being used. There are a few houses out there. Actually a beautiful place. In the early years there were lots of logging camps around the area. I couldn't tell you who they are.Don't know if this helps much. There is a logging museum in Hoquiam that might have the information on the logging camps of the area. It is the Polson Museum and it is located at 1611 Riverside , Hoquiam, Washington 98550 Phone is 360-533-5862.

Here on the central Oregon coast there are several such known areas -- Camp 1, Camp 12, etc. -- during that time period. As I understand it, the camps were convenient to the railroad line which carried logs to the mill. Today they are nothing more than the area where each camp was located (although Camp 1 now is a private residence). The camps and their locations are known more through local lore and memory than anything else; their locations aren't marked on modern maps. Perhaps contacting the county historical society or even a local Chamber of Commerce would give you more information. Good luck!

I have been a silent reader of this list. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if WA has a state archives and what is its policy? I live in OR and can send email requests to ours. I only pay for copies and mailing. Does WA do something similar? Also I need to find out when my great grandmother died. She moved to Vancouver in Feb. 1925 to live with her daughter Louisa Fiske, wife of William. I do not know when she died. Obviously after 1925. Her name was Elizabeth Jane Bates. Her husband was Samuel. Thanks in advance, Sincerely, Aldean Oakridge, OR

Hi - Brooklyn, WA is about 50 miles west of Centralia, WA in the Black Hills. I don't think there's much there anymore. There used to be lots of logging camps in the area. Don't know if this helps any or not. Phil In a message dated 10/10/98 9:46:56 AM, you wrote: <<I have finally received a copy of my father's SS application (after 4 months).

This list isn't as active as PSRoots which is Cyndi Howell's list who does "Cyndi's List of Genealogical Links" with 31,000+ links now.

Hi Colleen and Patience, I just got on this list yesterday. Rita Ormsby, Calif.

Thanks for the replies to my Anyone There? request. I will just ask again if anyone knows of any Coomes families in the state of Washington. Bealy Coomes moved out there (I am in Indiana) from Virginia I have not found him on any census in Va. or Wa. so I cannot pin down when he moved. he was born 1891 and died 1950. Does anyone know anything of these people? Patience

Hello all you Washington Researchers: I came across a very helpful website that has information, addresses and prices, for requesting vital records documentation from any state. Here is the link for Washington State.... http://www.vitalrec.com/wa.html Here is the link for the main home page. http://www.vitalrec.com/ By the way, Aldean, I will check for a record of your ggrandmother the next time I am at the Clark County Courthouse. Perhaps the was a will or something. Would she have been buried at Vancouver, Wa??? If so there should be a deed on file for the grave. I will check sometime in next 2 weeks and get back to you.

Hi all.....I just ran across some very old bibles on the internet auction called EBay. It has these names in it so though I'd post. Miracles DO Happen! The first Bible is located as: Item #34333055 The names are Woodrow Wilson Lang Rose Lang , Charles Withkamp (the seller can't decipher this last name very well) The bible is around 1893 Also an 1819 Bible : Former family bible of Samuel Luther(1764) and Rebekah Brown (1763) , family history between 1763-1854. located as: Item #33990372 Another Bible from 1882 Located as Item #34499242 on Ebay. For your information.......I usually find these Bible's listed under Maps in the antique sections. I would suppose that none of the sellers think they would ever be able to find the famalies........ You need to register in Ebay to bid on any of the items. It only take about 3 to 4 hours to confirm your registration......but you can look at the photos and not register. It's a very legitimate place.....and lots of fun too....however....I really use it for the maps and old books........ Here is the main page of EBay: <A HREF="http://cayman.ebay.com/aw/index.html">eBay Auction Classifieds</A> or if you can hyperlink with this.....go to Alta Vista and type in Ebay........ Once you get into Ebay.....you can use the search feature to find the item number. Sure hope....someone find's that Miracle! xxxxxxxxoo Louise King La Jolla, CA

I have finally received a copy of my father's SS application (after 4 months). He listed as his place of employment a Northwest Camp 15 in Brooklyn, WA. This was in 1937. Does anyone know anything about this camp or town. Could it be a lumber camp? Is it still there? Where could I find further information? Thank you, Colleen

Trying to find an Osgood and an Orin LILLIS. They went from NY to MN to OH and then disappeared. Story has it that they ran away together, possible to WA where there were some LILLISes operating a sawmill. Would be wonderful if someone could give us a lead of some sort. Thanks, Pat Van Wormer van@wctc.net

For What It Is Worth Department: If you go to: DOCUMENTATION AND PUBLICATIONS at: http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/~vctinney/sources.htm you will note a section called: University level user-friendly resources: UC Systemwide sample See: LIBRARIES for access and overview information. Within this section is: FIRSTSEARCH OCLC databases and catalog The WorldCat section of this site has current connections to over 17,000 OCLC libraries worldwide and over 38,000,000 [38 million items]. A brief study of the record database indicates that approximately 25%-50% or more of the non-circulating book collection, as well as many of the microform collections, in the SLC LDC FHC, is in this OCLC system. If you can access FIRSTSEARCH from a local resouce center and use Interlibrary loan facilities, you will find you may make a tremendous savings in time, talent, means and effective effort in your research projects. Additionally, there are many rare and more expensive scholarly resources that can be obtained via this route that are NOT in the SLC LDS Library. If you set up a rotating request schedule, you may be able to have a constant flow of Interlibrary Loan books arriving at your local library as you advance order. In the case of the UC Davis Shields Library, all patrons within the library have free access to the system. The local Davis Branch of the Yolo County Library System allows free Interlibrary Loan service for four(4) books/microforms at a time, unless there is a fee charged by the sending institution. Thus, in this case, a massive and free worldwide extension of the genealogical research process. Since the loan system obtains records from any depository site that will offer a book/microform for transport, there is a good possibility that you will be able to find what you want delivered locally. This can be, for example, from Princeton University Library [NJ], Seattle, Washington, or somewhere in the State of Virginia, all in the same shipment. The highly restricted LDS Library system is greatly complimented by the active use of this parallel resouce by genealogists and family historians.

Looking for these. 1. G.W. Merry and Sarah Elmira (Baker), after 1880 2. Jesse Bridges and Elmira (Baker), after 1858 (maybe Almira) 3. Joseph D. Hinds and Mary Frances (Baker), after 1860, had a son Edward Hinds. (maybe Hines) All of them vanished after those dates from Iowa or Missouri. These are loose ends I've been looking for for a long time.
