[or-roots] genealogical gold mine

[Harguess, Dale]

If I remember correctly, most of the claims were from about 1848 to
about 1860.  Don't quote me on this.  I can do lookups at the library if
you would like (just can't do them instantly).

You are correct.  That book is wonderful.  We have a set at my local
library and it is amazing the information they had on the people.  One
of my ancestors that had several claims is in the book and it not only
gives his name and his wife's maiden name it even gives is father's and
mother's maiden names.  
Have fun and happy hunting.

I just stumbled across this little item that might interest some of you,
I
will probably be able to offer to do lookups in thsi in a few weeks as
things will slow down for me in another two or three weeks.
