Your welcom Glen;

I got a big shock when I went there and plugged in my surname, I found out
that at one time my family owned almost the whole thousand acres of the
valley that I had grown up in, it really broke my heart because I have
dreamed of having that watershed in control of my family since I was about
eight years old. Dad told my brother Dennis that they would trade an eighty
for a cow or $50 or some such. Grandpa decided to let a forty go back for
taxes in the thirties, my dad begged him to loan Dad the $50 we owed in back
taxes, Grandpa's response was; "why should we pay taxes on it, it's inside
our fence line." I imagine Weyerheuser would be a little annoyed if I tried
to fix that fence now. I figure they cut close to a Million dollars worth of
timber off of that $50 piece of ground ten years ago.

Oh Well, easy come, easy go.

This is a good site, was just looking at my or-roots web messages and seen
this on the BLM records and tried it and found info on both my GG
Grandfather and G Grandfather.
