A friend has asked how to find if there are accessible marriage records in Snohomish County, or if there is a volunteer willing to look for marriage records in the courthouse. At this point I don't even have a name, just the question. Connie

Does anyone have access to obituaries in 1971? My great Uncle Albert Greer Gregory died in Snohomish. Reports differ--Dates are variable: March 12, 1971, March 15, 1971, and December 3, 1971. One source states Lynwood, while another lists Edmonds. He may be listed as Greer Albert Gregory. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Are Edmonds and Lynwood near each other? Perhaps there is a large hospital in one and his home was in the other place?? He was born in 1883. I saw him once in about 1950 and have tracked him from birth to the 1930 census and really want to know more about him. I believe he had a second wife whose name I don't know and at least one daughter by this second wife. Thanks again. If anyone happens to be related to him, I'll be happy to share and even have a couple of pictures of Albert's parents and siblings. Gail Garwood in NC -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

FOR THE ARCHIVES : Ref. The HERALD, Everett, WA. Date: Sunday, July 31, 2005 Section: Sports Site: http://www.heraldnet.com/about Article: The 'Rock' Snohomish's Earl Averill earned the nickname "Rock" due to his solid physical build and his consistent playh in 13 major league baseball seasons. The six-timeAll-Star center fielder had a career batting average of .318. Averill, who was elected to Baseball's Hall of Fame in 1975, is No. 1 on the list of Snohomish County's Top 50 athletes. By Scott M. Johnson, Herald writer Full page picture of Earl Averill with batting stance captioned: Earl Averill played 13 seasons in the major leagues, compiling a .218 lifetime batting average with 238 home runs and 1,164 RBI. Another picture of Earl Averill on page D3 smiling and captioned: Earl Averifll smiles as he shows off the plaque commemorating his joining the Major League's 200 Home Run Club. Averill, who didn't begin his major league career until the age of 27, finished his career with 238 home runs. This excellent article lists Earl Averill's career batting stastics for the years 1929 through and including 1941, plus a very accurate description of the athlete from his birth to his death. On page D4 of this issue of The Herald is another picture of Earl at bat on the Top 50 page with more information re Earl Averill, Snohomish making this attention to his career, and expertise one that has been long overdue and neglected. COMMENT: I hope that this article will be included among the archives of the Snohomish Historical Society for future reference by historians of the future regarding Snohomish History. Thank you Scott M. Johnson, Herald Writer for this comprehensive artical on Earl Averill of Snohomish whom I knew well, including the various members of his family with whom I grew up in our small community. It is time that his expertise and history be known that though he had to quit school in Snohomish at age 15, he went on to "put Snohomish on the map" literally. His father, Jotham Averill died when Earl was 2 yrs. old; one of his brothers, Easter Averill, died at the age of 8 and both were buried in the Snohomish Cemetery (Caucasians and Indians were buried there) at 1nd and Cypress in Snohomish, the now controversial Cemetery that became the site of the Snohomish Senior Center, though Snohomish Cemetery is still a legal cemetery and has not, as yet been decomissioned as a cemetery. Both Jotham and Easter Averfill's remains were removed to the G.A.R. Cemetery, just outside of the city limits West of Snohomish when the cut through Snohomish Cemetery was accomplished in 1947 leaving a small portion of the original cemetery on the north side, and a rather large portion of the cemetery on the south side of the site for Hwy 2 leaving Snohomish toward Monroe. Remains still exist in the cemetery, whether Native Amer. (Indian) or Caucasian is not certain. Earl Averill was never referred to as "Rock" by Snohomishites - he was known as "Dunk" (probably because he was from a "podunk" little town called Snohomish) by our family. Herb Ness of Snohomish was Earl Averill's earliest managers, and it was Ness who taught Earl how to bunt the ball. A poster used to hang in the gym area of the old old Snohomish High gym showing Earl Averill bunting a ball when he was among the big leagues. Earl made a name for himself among Cleveland, Detroit and other fans, as he was from that funny sounding name of Snohomish, but it put that funny sounding name on the maps as the home of Earl Averill who earned the Cooperstown, N.Y. Baseball Hall of Fame. Carroll Clark, Snohomish WA (1924) The following is a copy of the article that I sent to the Rootsweb System Sun.

Snoco: Has View Crest Abbey Cemetery been catalogued? If not, is there any reason that it cannot or should not be done? I may have some time to work on this, including photographing Stones but I have no expertise in loading to a website. VCH

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: McDonough, Davisson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VEC.2ACI/3805.1 Message Board Post: I looked in notebooks of obituaries on file at the Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society library (located in Arlington, WA). I found the obits for Fleda McDonough and her son, Thomas McDonough, which I will post in separate replies. I also found an obit for Margaret Davisson of Granite Falls who died January 6, 1989. However, I don't see anything in her obit which connects her to the McDonough family. Are you sure that this would be the correct Margaret Davisson? I will be happy to post the obituary but I question whether she is related to your McDonoughs. I did find your McDonough family in the 1920 census at which time they lived in Seattle (King County). There is a 7-year-old daughter, Margrete, at that time, along with 4-year-old Thomas and a 24-year-old cousin of Martin named George. If you haven't already found this census record, I am sure you would be interested in seeing their birthplaces, parents' birthplaces, etc. I have not looked for them in the 1930 census as I do not have access to it from home, but suggest that you locate the census records for these people if you haven't done so already.

Good morning, List Folks! Several things to bring to your attention: The Family History Center located in Mountlake Terrace (but named "Shoreline FHC") will be closed for two weeks starting this coming Monday, 25 July. The center will reopen on Monday, 8 August. FHC staff will use this time to complete a major overhaul of the microfilm and microfiche storage system; the Holdings Catalog (both print and online) will also be updated. Good news for Canadian researchers! (This from Dave Hunter's "Island Register Newsletter", 22 July 2005) 1911 Census Images now online! http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/1911/index-e.html The Canadian National Archives has opened up their web site for the 1911 census. Though previously they were stating it would be available in August, it is available now. The speed of the mounting the new database shows how determined and prepared the archives were to make available the census - some of the indexing must have been complete prior to the legislation which allowed its posting. It is searchable at present by Province and Sub-district, but not by family name. This is similar to the way other censuses are posted to the National Archives site. Those of us with Canadian roots are doing The Happy Researcher Dance this morning.... Regards to all... Marge
