 I intended to check this the other day when you first posted your query,
and I can only blame the fact I have been running around like a chicken with
its legs cut off trying to get a 16 year accumulation of junk moved from one
house to anohter in thirty days and am coming down with a cold.

 I would guess that: Murile Peterson  2691-14th St., North Bend, Oregon
541-756-2316 is very likely the person you are looking for.

 My aplogoies for not checking this sooner, but I was sure she wouldn't be
there and I didn't have any plans to and didn't think you would be desperate
enough to bother the other 55 people under the name Peterson in said phone
book. Granted only part of them are in Coos Bay - North Bend, but after this
long what was the chance she would actually be there.

 In my family I rate pertty high up in sedentariness now having been in the
same town for 16 years. Some of my paretns generatation stayed in the same
place all their lives, Dad never lived in one place any longer than ten
years for most of his life. Feel free to tell her I gave you the info, so
she can have somebody close by to be mad at if she isn't interested in
hearing from long lost kin.

 Les Chapman.

  speaking of addled archives, does anyone know who Erick G Olofsson was
  looking for in January of 2005 that I answered as follows, I dug through
my
  archives for some time yesterday without turning up a clue.


  Erick;

Your thanks are appreciated, I would point out however that my wife might
agree with the sweet part but probably doesn't agree with the woman part.
Don't apologize, it's a natural mistake and I am not offended, but I did
want to point it out as some of the folks on the list will tease you about
it if they notice.

I had some trouble following the logic of the paragraph from that web site
but if you go there and study it you might be able to decipher who Lottie's
parents are, it seemed like it was leading there, but I couldn't figure it
out.

Next time I get to Coos Bay I will try and remember to look at the
naturalization records they have at the library and see if I can find Olof.
