Hello, Hoping to find info on Lars(not sure what surname he used)Hågenson/Rokkenes/Mikkelson?. According to the Bygdebok(Norwegian Farm history) he emigrated to Seattle, WA. He left Trondheim, Norway on June 20, 1900 bound for "Boston" US. It shows his ticket paid for in Amerika. The farm history shows he settled in Seattle, Washington. Thank you for any help.

Searching for a marriage that took place in Everett Washington in 1900. The groom was James W O'Brien. Unfortunately I only know the brides first names --Mata Agnes. The brides family was German and both were likely Catholic. Is there an index to marriages at that time? Any help would be appreciated Debbie

The LDS at Federal Way,Washington has most all of the Washington death records on film.

Is there an online marriage list for Washington, possibly King County, that covers the above dates. I am trying to find when my biological parents, Edward Prentiss LANDOLT and Lilly Anna/aka Lillian ELLEFSEN were married. My only clue to their possibly being married in Seattle is that I was told as a young child that the Norwegian Lutheran minister wouldn't baptize me or my brother, b. 2-20-1943 in Seattle, until they were married. If anyone could help me or point me in a direction, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Louise Redding/CA

In 2000 I was a busy bee and was extracting bios from WITH THE COLORS from Whatcom, Skagit, San Juan Counties 1917 1918 1919 I bought a scanner and was learning to scan and had completed Skagit and San Juan Counties and had started on Whatcom County when some low-life stoled my book... Less than 2 weeks ago a guy came into my books store... we chatted, I whined about the theft, he had a copy of the book, he left, went home, found it, and GAVE it to me. Sooooo for all you WHATCOM County researchers.... I present the first 154 pages... Some of the links and pics aren't workin' as I'm still working on scanning Skagit... but did I mention Whatcom is up and running... <g> http://www.thirdstbooks.com/colors/ww1whatcom.html Darilee Bednar USGenWeb Project Skagit County 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

Here's another article on the hacking of credit card info. http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/business/article.adp?id=20050617173309990002&ncid=NWS00010000000001 I hope we can believe the author, who says that no personal information was accessed. shirley

This is off-topic for most of my lists but I believe it's important info that most of us need. I will be checking with my credit union tomorrow to see if cards issued by them are part of the security breach. shirley list hostess Breach at third party payment processor affects 22 million Visa cards and 14 million MasterCards. http://money.cnn.com/2005/06/17/news/master_card/index.htm?cnn=yes

Hello List: The WW1 Draft Registration Cards are Federal records and in the National Archives. The National Archives in Seattle has the cards for Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. NARA-Pacific Alaska Region 6125 Sand Point Way N. E. Seattle, WA 98115-7999 E-mail: archives@seattle.nara.gov (Serves ID, OR, WA) AND Ancestry.com is putting images of these cards on-line and they recently finished Washington State. Any male born 1872 or later had to register, although not everyone was in the war. Gloria Lester >>^. .^<<

Could someone tell me how you go about finding if there is a WWI draft card for Joseph GORE born Nov., 1883 either in Mass. or Nova Scoita but who lived in Washington State (San Juan Island and later Seattle) from before the 1901 census until his death sometime after the 1930 census? Judie of Virginia

How would I go about finding the WWI Draft Record for a Joseph GORE born Nov., 1883, either Massachusetts or Nova Scotia, but moved to Wash. State by the 1901 census and lived there until he died. Would he have been too old to have a Draft Record for WWI? Judie of Virginia
