Denise - there is an excellent set of books published on Catholic Church
Records in the NW - it's a seven volume set and an index: Catholic Church
Records of the Pacific Northwest by Harriet Munnick. The Oregon State
Archives has a set of these books as I imagine a number of other libraries in
the state do as well. Each book covers different churches. It's an excellent
resource! And each is indexed and there is a cumulative index as well.
Book 3 covers St. Paul, St. Louis, Gervais and Brooks which would
probably be the most use to you. Mimi Stang

I rode the Wheatland Ferry this evening on my return from visiting the
Sacred Heart Cemetery in Gervais and the St. Louis Cemetery in St. Louis.
Has anyone done research amongst the Catholic Records of Sacred Heart or
St. Louis? My ancestors emigrated from Pankota, Hungary (Germans) and I
located a goodly group of them in the two cemeteries today. I took 68 photos
and once I process the clues from the tombstones I'm wondering what
resource next might provide some clues. Some of these German relatives seem to
have avoided the census takers so I need to find some other records.
The most mysterious of the bunch are the Plennert/Plennart relatives.
Anton Plennart (4 Jul 1876-27 Jan 1953), Jacob I Plennart (1902-1975), Ada
Plenert (1852-1930) & Frances Plenert (1860-1915). Even tho the spellings are
different I strongly suspect they are relatives to my direct ancestor, Eva
Plennert.
Would especially enjoy sharing info with ANYONE researching ANY relatives
from the _Banat region _
(http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~romban/map/xymap.html) (Arad County, Hungary) where Pankota & Ujpanat are cities my
ancestors emigrated from. Quite a group of emigrants came to Oregon about
1902-1910. Many of them are inter-related.

I've ridden the ferry and it was always Wheatland Ferry.
The only times the ferry was not operational was the excess rains
swollen the river beyond the banks.
