Meg..........I'm not at home now so don't have the address, but you need to call the WA STATE ARCHIVES...in Olympia or their EASTERN DIVISION at Cheney WA. David Hasting's is the Chief Archivists in Olympia and Susan Beemer is the gal to talk to in Cheney. If you want to wait a week....I'll be home and give you their phone numbers and addresses. Susan has an email address too.

I have some need for personal research in Washington. My grandmother, Mary Selina BOSWELL, was reportedly born in Spokane falls, WA. Her birthdate is 2/14/1893. Her parents were Daniel Floyd BOSWELL and Nannie Morgan Gold BOSWELL, who were married in Bunker Hill, WV in 1892. They were in Washington only a few years--maybe 4. The family story goes that Daniel was hired as an Indian Agent, but I can find no record of this and you know how "family stories' often go. I am looking for some kind of birth record for my grandmother, Mary Selina BOSWELL, b. 2/14/1893. It is my understanding that there are birth records available from 1890 for Spokane County. I will be willing to exchange Virginia research for Washington research. Many thanks, Meg>>
