Greeting fellow listers- I am looking for some help
with information on my maternal gr-grandmother and
gr-grandfather; I have had a hard time getting started
on this branch of the family as I have very little to
go on. 

This is the only reference I have found on her so-far,

(cut-and-pasted from Hermiston Herald obituaries)

Miller, Bertha Jerina
vol 41 no 19 - 16 Dec 1948
Born 28 Feb 1871 in Norway. Came to US at age 13. Died
12 Dec 1948 at Ordnance. Survived by spouse, George
Miller of Lincoln, NE and seven children.
Internment: Hermiston Cemetery

Are any of you kind folks, esp. those close to
Hermiston, able to do a check on her for me? Any
further information would be helpful. My grandmother,
Hazel June <Miller> Cornell, (b. 1/18/1905) was the
only daughter of the aforementioned 7 children, and I
believe the second youngest. Her husband, my
gr-grandfather's, full name was George Washington
Miller. No clue on any dates for him yet. I only have
as much as I do from my starting point of the SS-5
from the SSDI for my grandmother.

I believe a lot of that family is still in Oregon, but
due to one of those unfortunate family fueds, I am
stonewalled from any further info from my current
family.

Hav tried a lot of the freebie stuff on Ancestry and
Rootsweb, but nothing seems to match. I'm still
learning on how best to do this so any suggestions are
welcome. Heck, maybe even some of you are cousins!

Thanks in advance,

Melanie Munson
