I was in Walla Walla and went to a family reunion in Milton-Freewater on Oct. 1. It was hot in Walla Walla while I was there but then on Monday we headed out toward Pendleton through Heppner. It was starting to cool off and was quite pleasant. By the time I got to Reno, Nevada it had dropped over 20 degrees. On Thursday it snowed and when I left for home on Saturday, Oct. 8 the Sierras were all white. Very nice to not have been snowed in as I was leery of that. I bumped into an unmarked cemetery just a little North East of Heppner. It was out in a field behind two fences. I walked up to it and took a picture of one of the very large stones. I don't know if I can attach pictures to this site or not. I wish I knew the name of the cemetery and I also wish I would have written down the names I saw. It wasn't very large but had a lot of stones in it. Does anyone out there know the name of this cemetery?

It was Dougherty and I remember there were a lot of the stones with that name as well as a couple of other names. Even though it is out in the middle of a wheat field it looks like it is visited often. There is a clear path to the gate and fake flowers on some of the graves. It is in a pretty desolate place.

I have a really good picture of the stone which says, "mother and father" and I could shoot myself for not going inside the gate and taking more pictures but I am afraid of snakes and there were a lot of holes around so I stayed on the path.

I have seen passenger lists from San Francisco to Portland and I believe also listings of departures from Portland to other points listed in the "Call" which you can find (and search) selected issues of here;?http://cdnc.ucr.edu/newsucr The search engine is pretty good, but I have found relevant info when I knew the date to look at by browsing, also if you don't get a hit, you can browse by date or title with the buttons on the right. I enjoy doing that just for the interesting history and sometimes stumble across things I didn't know to look for. Also if you are looking for a particular person you might want to try google books; I haven't used them for a while so don't know where they hide the buttons these days, but you can do a search in google and then somewhere is a button that gets you to just books and then on that page "should" be another button that will limit your hits to books you can download. Sometimes I get info from books that are just in review because the ?blurb Google posts to tease you into buying the book has enough info to answer my question, even if the actual page isn't there. If the page comes up, but the book is not downloadable I usually just steal the page with a right click and "save image to" or if they have that option defeated you can also zoom in till you good large text of what you want and then do an and save the screen shot, if you don't have any other graphics program to work with it in it is possible to manipulate it in paint; select and copy[ the text you want, open a new file and paste the cropped image into it [] If you prefer to print that image either save [save as .jpg gives much smaller file size] the file and print it from Windows picture and fax viewer. If you choose to print it from paint make sure you go to page setup in the "File" menu and down in the lower right corner "Fit to" should be set to 1 by 1 pages. I have no idea why paint was created to do what it does with an image, I forget this detail once in a while and end up with a 4 inch by 6 inch image on four sheets of paper. Programmer must have had shares in a paper company.

This is a multi-volume work and deals primarily with the ships and their history, but you can occasionally ferret out additional information. Several of the larger libraries have these volumes in their collections, I have pulled up a few references in internet searches to this publication but I am not certain or at least don't remember if they were from Google books. I believe I have occasionally seen passenger lists for Portland and San Francisco on Ancestry as well, but I don't believe they cover the time period you are researching. National Archives might have something on their website. Another source you might try depending on how much information you have to start from are the online newspapers from that period.

I have seen passenger lists from San Francisco to Portland and I believe also listings of departures from Portland to other points listed in the "Call" which you can find (and search) selected issues of here; http://cdnc.ucr.edu/newsucr The search engine is pretty good, but I have found relevant info when I knew the date to look at by browsing, also if you don't get a hit, you can browse by date or title with the buttons on the right. I enjoy doing that just for the interesting history and sometimes stumble across things I didn't know to look for. Also if you are looking for a particular person you might want to try google books; I haven't used them for a while so don't know where they hide the buttons these days, but you can do a search in google and then somewhere is a button that gets you to just books and then on that page "should" be another button that will limit your hits to books you can download. Sometimes I get info from books that are just in review because the blurb Google posts to tease you into buying the book has enough info to answer my question, even if the actual page isn't there. If the page comes up, but the book is not downloadable I usually just steal the page with a right click and "save image to" or if they have that option defeated you can also zoom in till you good large text of what you want and then do an and save the screen shot, if you don't have any other graphics program to work with it in it is possible to manipulate it in paint; select and copy[ the text you want, open a new file and paste the cropped image into it [] If you prefer to print that image either save [save as .jpg gives much smaller file size] the file and print it from Windows picture and fax viewer. If you choose to print it from paint make sure you go to page setup in the "File" menu and down in the lower right corner "Fit to" should be set to 1 by 1 pages.

It was starting to cool off and was quite pleasant. By the time I got to Reno, Nevada it had dropped over 20 degrees. On Thursday it snowed and when I left for home on Saturday, Oct. 8 the Sierras were all white. Very nice to not have been snowed in as I was leery of that.

I was in Walla Walla and went to a family reunion in Milton-Freewater on Oct. 1. It was hot in Walla Walla while I was there but then on Monday we headed out toward Pendleton through Heppner. It was starting to cool off and was quite pleasant. By the time I got to Reno, Nevada it had dropped over 20 degrees. On Thursday it snowed and when I left for home on Saturday, Oct. 8 the Sierras were all white. Very nice to not have been snowed in as I was leery of that. I bumped into an unmarked cemetery just a little North East of Heppner. It was out in a field behind two fences. I walked up to it and took a picture of one of the very large stones. I don't know if I can attach pictures to this site or not. I wish I knew the name of the cemetery and I also wish I would have written down the names I saw. It wasn't very large but had a lot of stones in it. Does anyone out there know the name of this cemetery?

In looking at the location (which according to Google Earth is Oregon 74 also known as Heppner Highway and becomes 395 about 8 miles out of Pilot Rock) I found a picture of Vinson taken in 1968. The photographer ?has a lot of late fifties into the '70's photos posted on Panaramio and I thought some of you who had family from NE Oregon might get lucky and find long lost family farms photos if you look at his stuff. I asked him if people could contact him and hope he doesn't regret agreeing to it. http://www.panoramio.com/user/4585806 Is his?Panoramio?page and there is a "private message" link on the right side of the page. His name is Pat Cassidy and I highly recommend his pages just for the joy of his photography. I also suggest for those who have not done so, if you have a place near and dear to your hearts that you no longer are able to visit; check it out on Google Earth. If you have any kind of decent computer connection, even dial up with a halfway decent computer you can see a lot of stuff. It will be slow on dial-up I am sure though as it takes about a minute to load on my system.

You can request copies from the Reference Staff at: archives.reference at state.or.us If you know the county were Lavina and John Philip Johns divorced you can check the Oregon Historical County Records Guide and determine what records exist and how to contact the courts. http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/pages/records/local/county/index.html Divorces before 1946 would only be found as Circuit Court records. After 1946 you might also find a Divorce return filed with the Vital Records office in Portland.

I have found some holes in this index and the need to be careful with the county it lists. For example, my marriage license was taken out in Benton Co. in the late 1960s, but I was married in Lane Co. The index has Benton Co. which is where the marriage information was returned to not where the marriage took place. However, while my daughter's marriage license was taken out in Yamhill Co. in the mid 1990s and she was married in Lane Co., the index lists Lane Co. for her so the index is not consistent.

The 1890 Veteran's schedule shows Andrew and Emma Langworthy living at Long Tom, Lane County. The Oregon State Archives for September 24, 1891 shows Emma being committed to the Hawthorne Asylum. The Eugene City Guard dated September 26, 1891 states that the cause ?of Emma's insanity is domestic troubles. ?It also says Andrew and the children were living on Lake creek. The Eugene City Guard dated March 10, 1893 shows Andrew and Emma's divorce being granted. The "Langworthy Family: some descendants of Andrew and Rachel (Hubbard) Langworthy" by W. F. Langworthy (1940) shows Emma dying March 9, 1893. By 1900, Andrew had moved the children back to Michigan to the family farm. I know enough about the errors in the Langworthy book to figure out that someone probably gave the date of Emma's exit from the family and it was construed as death. ?My problem is that I haven't been able to find Emma's death or her grave. ?I just can't believe that her divorce was granted and she died right away. ?I have sent for divorce papers, have searched through all the cemeteries in the area, even contacted funeral homes trying to figure out what happened to Emma. ?Emma was born in 1854 so she could have lived many more years and could have been released and remarried. ?I am simply at a loss as to where to search next. ?I would appreciate any help.

You'll be able to search on the internet using the public computers in our research rooms or your own computer. Our Digitization Lab has completed the digitization of the 1940 Census, creating over 3.8 million digital images of Census schedules, maps, and enumeration district descriptions.

Then the first page will come up. From that point you can just keep hitting the next page and it works like a film reader except that you don't have to wear your arm out cranking. If you have access to the census indexes at your library you can look it up first and that will tell you the page number and you can quickly get to it. It is a little cumbersome and you do have to know the state, county and location (town, city, etc.) but it is all there and sometimes it is helpful to just page through because you often find other relatives in the same location. I have often found several families within a couple of pages of each other.

If you go to your local library they may have the library edition of ancestry, but you can also go to some other genealogy sites the census is supposed to be free everywhere even on ancestry. Ps: in April next year the 1940 census will be released.

Then the first page will come up.? From that point you can just keep hitting the next page and it works like a film reader except that you don't have to wear your arm out cranking.? If you have access to the census indexes at your library you can look it up first and that will tell you the page number and you can quickly get to it.? It is a little cumbersome and you do have to know the state, county and location (town, city, etc.) but it is all there and sometimes it is helpful to just page through because you often find other relatives in the same location.? I have often found several families within a couple of pages of each other. Good luck, Dale On Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 4:21 PM, Paulette < pswitzertatum at peoplepc.com > wrote: Dale and Glen, ? I don't have access to ancestry.com at home, just heritageQuest census, but I have some trouble navigating it; what other feature do you mean RE: looking at the 1830, 1840, 1850 census on heritage? ? I have been looking up/verifying some census records on FamilySearch on families I'm researching, but there is usually some weird census taker error that is not accounted for or transcribed to make sense, and I can't get them to see what I'm asking about. For example, in the 1870 census for Linn County, Missouri, where my ancestor Samuel Sumner is supposed to be the head of the Household, with his wife, daughter, and son - when I look at his page for the census on FamilySearch, there is a 4 year old Baker child on the HH line, so she is included on the family page as HH! This makes the Sumner son on the last line of the Sumner family drop down to be the HH of the next family - too strange! If I look at the image, I can see what the transciber is not allowing for - the same error by the census taker is all down the page. If that happens to me when I am referring to family I know about for sure, I can only cringe at what errors come up for people who are new to census info on familysearch! ? Many thanks, ? Paulette
