My comments were not meant to start a thread on changing the name of the State. There is no current such consideration at this time, at least as far as I've read. Since this doesn't concern genealogy and doesn't have a place here, I apologize for making a comment on changing the name.

I don't think we should change our STATES NAME or any part of it. Eastern Wa. is not inhabited like Western is, nor is it a more favorable weather wise. Being b in Seattle in 1920's, I spent most of my life in early Eastern part of Ore. Milton-Freewater till abt 1937 then in Yakima Wa untill abt 1943/4. Then in Okanogan Co, 12 miles from Canadian border till 1946. Then back to Yakima till spring when the big 1948 flood came, then 1948 went to Ks . to work. in Wheat Harvest. Then after on to Wisconsin till abt 1949 then in Charles City Iowa till abt May 1951. The ice storm there in Easter Sunday drove me away plus the hot sand blow summer's with damp nights and colder than, Ak.. Came back to Yakima then Hermiston Or. by 1951 in Aug. there till about 1964 then to Pasco, until 1965 . then to Renton and worked in Belleview, until Nov 1968, back to Pasco till 1979 then to Pendleton , Or . I was at Williams Lake in Whitman Co. Wa when Mt St Helens blew at abt 8:10 AM on Sunday and heard it. Went to a fishing trip, and Was out fishing in lake and made a dash for shore. At 2:00 PM it got dark as night. I couldn't leave there for 3 days. I scooped 1 50 lb bucket of the ASH from off top of my car and still have it. good as gold and doesn't have 1 drop of anything in it, as dropped from sky to top of my car . We stayed inside of Mobil at Lake till ash quit dropping. Later in 1982 spring, we went to . to Ketchikan Ak, till 1985 Nov. then to Steilacoom, Wa , by ferry when the bad early snow storm came at Thanksgiving. Then in 1989 moved to Roy in Country area and I been here ever since and Love where I live out in country abt 4 miles from Roy, Wa. 20 yrs. now , live on a dead end road. Out my back yard see Mt. Rainier. on clear days. This western part of Wash in Pierce Co. where I live is the best place weather wise I have ever lived. Nice and quiet, with Deer going through occasionally and hear the frogs in spring and the Coyote's with pups howling in spring and fall at late evening, till we make noise and scare them away . I also was at Sequim in abt late . 1990's when the earthquake was and another one later in Nisqually area. Also was in 1962? Portland Or. when the big Columbus Day storm hit and the earthquake abt 2 weeks after. Boy what a time that was. Didn't get home from Raleigh Hills where I worked for 3 days. Had some good experiences in most all places a few times.

Genealogists have always been the prey of con artists... and there is always someone willing to do the work to track them down... From another list with permission.... Darilee (goin' to be some cross posting... my apologies in advance) *************************************** Album seller settles case Marketing of family books to change By Rachel Brand, Rocky Mountain News (with Permission) February 10, 2006 An Arapahoe County (Colorado) company accused of deceptively promoting genealogy albums will pay a $30,000 fine, cover $25,000 in legal fees and revamp how it markets its Family Yearbooks. Maxwell MacMaster and his Parker-based company MorphCorp. advertised the $45 "family history" books as unique to an individual's surname. The company promised its yearbooks would summarize 2,000 years of a particular family's history. But the tomes were not published annually and contained no pictures of the buyer's family members. "The 'Family Yearbook' was nothing more than a photocopy of the same material deceptively sold to thousands of consumers," Attorney General John Suthers, who negotiated the settlement, said in a statement. Jeffery Scism, a San Bernardino, Calif., genealogist who has tracked MacMaster for years, said the fine is puny when compared with the hundreds of thousands of dollars he believes - MorphCorp raked in. "The only fair solution would be to seize the business, liquidate the assets and put them in a holding company," said Scism, who lists the company on his "Genealogy Hall of Shame" Web site, http://blacksheep.rootsweb.com/. Nobody answered the phone Thursday at MorphCorp, 1181 S. Parker Road, and a message left with the company's outside counsel, Burton Wherry of Denver's Wherry & Carlstead LLC, was not returned. Here's how the books worked: If you were a customer named John Smith, MacMaster would send you a letter identifying himself as your distant relative. He would promise to sell you a yearbook authored by someone in the Smith clan and containing jokes and recipes from the Smith family. "Essentially what they'd do is stick a few telephone listings in there and names changed from the Census Bureau," Scism said. MacMaster is now barred from pretending to be related to potential customers and advertising that a "contributing family member" wrote the text. In addition, MorphCorp. must provide refunds to those who request them. If the company refuses, customers may complain to the Colorado consumer line, 1-800-222-4444. brandr@RockyMountainNews.com or 303-892-5269 bookstorelady@prodigy.net http://www.rootsweb.com/~waskagit - Skagit USGW http://www.thirdstbooks.com - 3rd St. Book Exchange http://www.facesfromthewall.com - Faces From the Wall - Vietnam/Washington

Seattle 1918 ish. > First, here is the WWII records of Walter A. Taubeneck: http://snohomishhistory.com/war/wwiimsvlt.html#taubeneckW WWI Enlistment of Alfred W. Taubeneck http://www.thirdstbooks.com/msvlww1.html Here is Steven Taubeneck, a professor of Germanic studies, University of British Columbia. He has numerous studies in WWI and German association. He may be (probably is) a relative and may know or have contacts that can solve your riddle. http://www.german.ubc.ca/web/000027.htm As far as Oscar. I found him...barely in genealogical records, nothing concerning your query. He did live in Snohomish County, that's for certain. As far as your query, during WWI, an American with German parents, refusing to serve, making/issuing "propaganda" would be suspicious and may have been detained. Good Luck Ron Bestrom Findings: The World War I draft registration images show five Taubeneck. Three were in Clark County, IL, Carl, Everett and Otto Clark; one in Kansas, Earl Robert; and one in Snohomish Co, WA, Alfred W. All were born in Illinois. Alfred was a clerk with the Great Northern Railroad in Marysville. He was single, born Feb 3, 1895 in Ernst, IL. He was medium in height, brown eyes, dark brown hair. The 1870 census does have an Oscar Taubeneck, born about 1869, living in Darwin township, Clark County, IL. Son of Otto and Emma. He had five siblings, all older, a sister Emma 17, sister Natalia 3. (In 1910, Otto was still living, Natalia was living in the house) The 1910 census listed eight Taubeneck, all living in Clark County, IL --1910 census: I did find an Oscar U. "Taubemark" living in Irving Pct, Snohomish County, WA, born about 1869 in Illinois, possibly the Oscar Taubeneck in the 1870 census. But, there seems to be a computer problem with his record. To view the record, it shows an Oscar Taube, born 1894 in Lancaster Pct, Cowlitz Co. To view the image, The 1920 census listed 16 Taubeneck, five in Fresno, three in Darwin, Illinois, and James and Mary and family in Marysville, Snohomish Co, WA. James was 49 (1871), born in IL. The 1930 census has Oscar U. Taubeneck (transcribed as Oscar N. Tanbenick) living in District 12, Mabena Township, Island County, WA. He was 60, single, born in Illinois, parents born in WA, laborer in a lumbermill. The Washington Death Index shows nine Taubeneck deaths, Mary was 8 July 1945 in Snohomish Co, then Alfred in 1968. Mary, probably the wife of James The WDI shows an Oscar U. Taubenak, death 13 June 1947 at 77 (1869/70), death in Snohomish Co. This is probably your Oscar. With death in 1947, his obit "probably not" will have any info on WWI beliefs or activities.

Hi Guys... I got a good one for you... I'm looking for information on Oscar (Oskar) U. Taubeneck (b. about 1870/80ish) and his sister Miss Taubeneck. During WWI they were "arrested"/"detained" for some reason probable labor related or anti-war activities. Probable location... Seattle 1918 ish. Their nephew... Walt (hint Marge)... wants to find out more information about this event. Like were the records would be, how to find 'em etc. etc. etc. So... bookstorelady@prodigy.net http://www.rootsweb.com/~waskagit - Skagit USGW http://www.thirdstbooks.com - 3rd St. Book Exchange http://www.facesfromthewall.com - Faces From the Wall - Vietnam/Washington

Hi All I'm adding this Richardson surname to your list in hopes that someone may be researching this small family now or in the future. This is the family: Robert M Richardson born on March 25, 1888, Portland, Oregon, died December 24, 1948, Franklin County, Washington. Robert married a lady by the name of Hazel, sometime before 1916, and this couple had two children, Robert W Richardson born in 1916 in Oregon, ( maybe St Helens.), and a daughter named Virgina M Richardson born in 1921, in Franklin County, Washington. Robert seems to have lived in Franklin County all his life, and worked as a Locomotive Engineer, and Fireman. Hopefully someone will read this and may know about this family. Any help would be appreciated. Bryan King Calgary, Alberta Canada

Betty, If you will visit my web page www.mercergirls.com you will find information on the Mercer Immigration. I have spent the last 12 years researching this group of women. If you have questions you can email me directly at pmuhich@yahoo.com Peri Muhich Betty <bbffrrpp@comcast.net> wrote: Hello, I have just joined this List to ask about something I read on the "British Home Children" List this morning. Someone on that List was mentioning how many of the "home children" were sent to British Columbia, rather than the more popular destinations of Nova Scotia and Quebec Province. And, she mentioned that some of the girls sent were older-teens who were meant to become "possible wives" to the many single men living in Western Canada. As part of a "history of B.C.," she mentioned the "Mercer Immigration" to Puget Sound - which was a similar "scheme." I became curious about this, and tried to find it mentioned in a Google search and was not successful. I tried another search-engine and only found "1" web site mentioning it - and that was only a long list of books about the history of Washington State: http://oscar.ctc.edu/history/washingt.htm (See books half-way down the page under King County.) I was just wondering if anyone knew of any web sites which discuss the "Mercer Immigration." Also, I don't know how often the "British Home Children" are mentioned on this List, as I have just joined it. But, I'd like to remind people that both the terms, "British Home Children" and "Home Children, Canada" are searchable terms. One web site which has a great deal of information is: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~britishhomechildren/ If you go down to the "BHC Internet Links," you will find other web sites with lots of information ! It is because of my LEWIS and CORKILL / CORKHILL great-grandparents who were "home children" that I joined the BHC List over 5 years ago. My great-grandparents were sent from Liverpool, England, to Halifax, N.S./Canada in 1874. They married there in 1879, migrated to Boston, MA, in 1881, and raised 13 children here. Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA) FYI: I had joined the Snohomish County List a few years ago because of the younger brothers of my other great-grandfather, William KERR. Their family was from Quebec Province, with William coming down to Boston around 1873. He married down here and remained here. His parents and younger siblings joined him in the 1890's, but probably by 1905, his younger brothers were heading from Everett, MA, to .. Everett, WA. Joseph KERR and Robert KERR are found in the 1910 and 1920 Cencuses there. I think they married 2 sisters here before they left, but I am not positive. I am told that neither couple had any children, so they would not have descendents in WA. FYI: My main research of 10+ years is on the KIDDER surname - because of my other great-grandfather, "Sanford" KIDDER, of Maine. Because of my research, I know of a George KIDDER in FL who is in the final stages of updating the 1941 "KIDDER genealogy book." If anyone has KIDDER information which they would like included in the new, updated version, I will provide George's contact information. ==== WASHINGTON Mailing List ==== To contact the list hostess, email Shirley at maples@iinet.com

Hello, I'd like to post separately that, if anyone has any KIDDER ancestors or relatives who might not be mentioned in the 1941 "KIDDER book," they should consider contacting George Kidder in FL. His contact information is on his web site, along with the official name of the book - which involves the descendants of (Ensign) James KIDDER (1626-1676) of Cambridge and Billerica, MA. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/1255/1255.htm George is in the final stages of updating the book, and he would welcome information on KIDDER's he has not been able to locate from the 1800's and 1900's. Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. My KIDDER ancestor from NH went up to New Brunswick ~1783 and his only son started a branch of the family in Washington County, ME. Their descendants continue to live there. But, I believe some of their relatives - or relatives of other KIDDER's in the area might have gone out to WA, or to that area of the country.
