We have our differences in my family (almost inevitable when you have a large number of people who consider each other "close" family) and I like best what one of the cousins mentioned when we were discussing one of the family feuds; our clan on both my mother and my father's side have always had a pretty good track record of, as he put it "checking their weapons at the door" at any family doings. You might catch the odd catty remark or see the occasional white knuckle as two feuding people "put on a happy face" in greeting, but most of the time on the surface at least every one gets along. I might have been able to convince Tom to do a little of that if I had known the true story.

She is buried in the IOOF cemetery in Grants Pass. She was the second wife of Jesse Roland Jennings, died 14 May 1903, also buried in the IOOF cemetery. Their daughter, Alwinda M Jennings, married my granduncle, William Ernest Everton, 24 Oct 1900 in Grants Pass, Josephine Co., OR. I have done practically no research into the siblings of Artemicia, but do have notes that Habrin Milles Cooper & wife Ann Jane Stuart are buried in Hilltop Cemetery in Polk County, but do not have town identified. I did not find a Julia Matney or Rowe listed on the Oregon State death index (in 1992). If this Julia was the sister of Artemicia, she was born in 1832, and would certainly have passed on long before 1992. Darlene ----- Original Message ----- From: "DanM."

I have it right in the linage chart below tho lol ;) I dont have a lot on her sister Artemicia either. So do you have any thing on the sister Julia ? death being 1892 wont show because they did not record them until 1903 - or 1906. So I was looking for a family member who might have something I dont.

Hi everyone, I am always looking for new Internet resources, as it is more and more expensive to travel. Has anyone used Archives.com? I am specifically wondering if they are a good source for obituaries. They say they charge an annual fee of $40.00. If their collection of resources is large enough, I can afford $40.00/year. I already am signed up for Ancestry.com. If they don't offer more or different source than I already have at Ancestry, then it's not worth it. Opinions??? Thanks!!!

As to the tiny font thing, if you are talking about a saved image as per Dan's instructions, you should be able to enlarge the image ?if you have some image editing program better than paint to use is better, but in paint on the menu at the top of the page you will see "image", click on that and the option you ?want is "stretch/skew"; click on that and set the percentage of stretch at say 150% for both horizontal and?vertical?and save the file. If the image is just real small, you might be able to avoid all of that if you use Windows picture and fax viewer to print the image you can use the image as a full page print, no matter how small it is. If the resolution is bad though you may get a print to pixellated to read. Some web sites offer a "printer friendly option" button somewhere on the page and if the printout you are getting includes a lot of the?extraneous?material on the page that might be your easiest option.

If you are printing text directly from a web page another trick that might work is just to enlarge the font on the page, I am not sure if that affects the printing process or not, but most web pages that are well designed can be enlarged by holding down the the ctrl key and spinning the wheel on your mouse, if you don't have ?wheel mouse I am not sure where to go for that though; okay if you don't have a wheel mouse hold down the ctrl key and hit plus for larger and - for smaller, that is very helpful for those of us whose eyes arent' what they used to be too, as you can blow a page up to where it is easy to read.

You can find them through news.google.com and then going to the archives section. I like their ability to search by a date range, and their digital images of the newspaper pages are clear enough that a screen capture program like abbyy screenshot reader ($10) can be used to do a fair job of OCRing the material - or you can stick with the Text view that Google provides. Both can save a significant amount of typing if the information is clean enough. My favorite newspapers to look at are the Spokane newspapers pre 1900 (they did an amazing job of covering the whole of the Oregon territory) and the Eugene Register Guard. Another favorite is the California Digital Newspaper Collection. Like the Spokane papers, it did a fantastic job of covering happenings in Oregon as well as Northern California, where so many Oregonian pioneers traveled too. http://cdnc.ucr.edu/cdnc Additionally, I have found that the Southern Oregon Digital collection has some great materials digitized. While not newspapers, there are a lot of other materials to search through http://soda.sou.edu/about.html On 5/15/2011 11:16 AM, ffarner at coinet.com wrote: > Ok. My bad..

Glenn married my grandmother, Pearl Williams, in Reno on 4 Jul 1940, and they lived out most of their lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. It looks like Glenn married a woman named Doris Challacombe , 3 Mar 1907-???, in Vancouver, WA on 28 Jan 1929.? From my research so far, it looks like Doris was from Cosmopolis , WA. A default divorce decree for the couple was announced in the Oregonian newspaper on 02 May 1930.? The decree was granted by "Circuit Judge Gilbert".? Would anyone know which city/county court Judge Gilbert is known to work out of?? Where would I write to get a copy of the divorce petition? Thanks for your help!!!

However, on 5 July 1930, "United State Circuit Judge William Ball Gilbert celebrated his 83d birthday yesterday. . . appointed to the federal bench here in 1892. .ninth circuit. . .made a member of the United States circuit court of appeals, taking this office January 1, 1912." So, there were two? The day after the default divorces are listed, May 3, there is an article that refers to "Clarence H Gilbert, judge of the Multnomah court of domestic relations and the juvenile court.." So, the short answer to your question is the Multnomah County Clerk.

Also another way is to save as a jpg, like in Ancestry - save as picture ( jpg ) then right click the picture where you saved it, and use the printer direct, change preferences to plain paper - print in gray scale so you are not using the color cartridges to make black - this uses the black only - I use 4x6 for color. Printing direct from a website just makes more mess than a nice clean copy. I can show a couple b4 and after prints to example what I am mentioning. Hey for those who have the preview fax viewer, you can magnify the item, to where you like it - then, do the same PRTSC ALT - open in Paint, and you have anexpanded view saved you can work with. I also have a very old prg still working gives me so many more options - ps another hint if some thing is so small - print it in high res - use the digital camera, or cell phone - take a picture - ah ha, you now have a full sized Item not pixilated, works great on those tiny pictures too. Experiment - I did. Hope they fixed the phone lines . We have 541, cell phone, but have not have a problem here. Still winter, hope there is warmer weather someplace. Am thinking about relocation to a warmer place.

Somehow some people with land line internet and phone still have service, but people with wireless internet and cell phones are having not much luck last I heard. As to the tiny font thing, if you are talking about a saved image as per Dan's instructions, you should be able to enlarge the image if you have some image editing program better than paint to use is better, but in paint on the menu at the top of the page you will see "image", click on that and the option you want is "stretch/skew"; click on that and set the percentage of stretch at say 150% for both horizontal and vertical and save the file. If the image is just real small, you might be able to avoid all of that if you use Windows picture and fax viewer to print the image you can use the image as a full page print, no matter how small it is. If the resolution is bad though you may get a print to pixellated to read. Some web sites offer a "printer friendly option" button somewhere on the page and if the printout you are getting includes a lot of the extraneous material on the page that might be your easiest option. I usually copy text material from the source page and use word to paste it into. I have gazillions of "internet search" files in most of my 70 or so surname folders. Often I will have a file that I past all the email for a given family, another file where I past all the things I get from places like SSDI, Cal death index, stuff I used to get free from Vital search which unfortunately I didn't save all of that way and when they quit giving anything away I lost everything I had saved from them as a web page, but a lot of families I have twenty or thirty pages of that and another file I put stuff like roots web and genealogy.com and ancestry info in. If you use a file like that to store the info in be sure and include the URL of the page it came from and if possible find the home page for the site so you can include that URL and the name of the people or organization that has put the info out there. Of course there is no guarantee the URL will be any good tomorrow, but at least if you have the home page info it is more likely you can track them down. I have tracked people down that way 3 or 4 years after saving something and had them mystified that i had the information I was asking them about as they had long since removed the web page, or sometimes I find things in Google Cache that people have dumped years before. If you are printing text directly from a web page another trick that might work is just to enlarge the font on the page, I am not sure if that affects the printing process or not, but most web pages that are well designed can be enlarged by holding down the the ctrl key and spinning the wheel on your mouse, if you don't have wheel mouse I am not sure where to go for that though; okay if you don't have a wheel mouse hold down the ctrl key and hit plus for larger and - for smaller, that is very helpful for those of us whose eyes arent' what they used to be too, as you can blow a page up to where it is easy to read. Hope some of this helps folks.
