[or-roots] genealogy information resourses and research

[Ray Powell]

My map shows Pine Valley OR to be just a little ways south of Halfway on SR 
86. some maps only refer to the area as Pine. If you can find Sawmill Cutoff 
Rd that runs between Hwy 86 and Pine Town Ln, you will be in the right area.

Researching the Rowland Powell (MA) to Calvin Powell II who died in Benton 
County, OR in the 1870's
