[or-roots] Keizer lookup

[Leslie Chapman]

Thanks Layne;

I did put together a listing from what is on the index of Keizer, as it
seemed to cover my target people I didn't try the variations, I think I have
access to that Census on microfilm somewhere, can't remember if it is at FHC
or Coos Bay Library, I was looking for it and stumbled across their copy of
the Ore Death index and decided to go fishing there instead, as soon as I
get around to figuring out which of the ten pages or so of Millers in the
1903 to 1920 listing I want I will put a bug in my Sis-in-law's ear to pick
them up for me next time she is up there. I was amazed, there were about
four times as many Millers as Chapmans, of course none of my family made
that index except great granpa Foster, and maybe a cousin or two.

I was delighted to find great Uncle Edward's first wife in the index, after
all the consternation I caused myself trying to figure out how her name went
through the changes it did.

Les,

Have you looked on the State Archives website in the Historical Records
Index?

http://genealogy.state.or.us/

There is a state census for Marion County in 1895 and it lists numerous
Keizers (I did not try all the variant spellings) including Frank and
Mabel etc.  The index does not include all the information from the
record but copies could be requested and it might provide some
additional clues.
