[or-roots] Capitol Hill?

[eugenemelvin.roots at comcast.net]

Paulette, 

If you live in the greater Portland, Oregon area I would recommend a trip to the Multnomah County Library, M ain Branch location. If they have not moved them then on the third floor they have Polk City directories dating back to before 1900.  When I first started doing my family research I headed there and discovered exactly where my relatives lived. And in som e  cases the actual houses still exist. I t was also very amusing to read what one of my relatives said when interviewed . In 1903 she stated she was a widowed when in reality her husband left her.

Thanks very much for these explanations! I hope these will help me identify where my parents lived in 1940. "Capitol Hill" was all I remember them saying, so I thought the Capitol Hwy SW and/or the other one might be options as listed for Portland, Multnomah Co., OR.

I do not know my parents actual address in 1940, but they called it Capitol Hill (thought they had moved to Washington County by then, but can't locate them at the address where I was raised).
