I would like the file in Word please. My great-grandmother was Leacy [Lacey/Lucy] Ann West b. 29 July 1829 in Maryland, moved to Ill in about 1835, married Andrew Carnes in Il 1846, came to Oregon on Oregon Trail in 1852, died 1903 in Oregon. Still looking to verify her parents and siblings. Have information for her in Oregon. Anyone know of this family? Thank you very much.
