I paged through Loon Lake, Scottsburg, Elkton and East Reedsport which is where I think she should have been, though the ED map is very unclear with respect to district boundaries. She and her parents weren't in any of those pages so I certainly can't blame the indexers. ? I am pretty sure I got all the names right on the Oregon pages I did, unfortunately the second checker changed a couple of them. One of them was arguable, but the other one as far as I was concerned they just plain called wrong. It clearly was written out correctly (I checked other sources to be sure how it was supposed to be spelled) and the second opinion changed the name to a more common spelling even though it was clearly written elsewise in my opinion. Oh well. Okay, before I sign off, here is a success story to make y'all feel better, Little brother was talking about a local from CG he hadn't been able to find today, I just queried his name at the link I posted earlier and poof, there he was at the top pf the page.

Okay looking in what I have already found I have William Goldson b abt July 1880 in the Richardson Precinct of Lane Co in 1900 Census, I assume I have him because he is her father. his parents were James b abt Jan 1832 SC and Mary June 1844 Alabama.

I'm not known for missing "clues", but I surely did on this one. This is not entirely intuitive - nowhere does the image say "click on the state" or any other "search" hint. IF you should happen to leave the image open, eventually you might "clue in" that when the box floats over to an orange state the message is different. But WOW, not what we usually are expecting from FS. Thanks to you, I did find parents and sister - they were in Burns, not Seneca or Kinzua - and the information was correct except they indexed my Dad's name Levonn. The enumerator wrote it LeVonn. Neither is right. It was LeVon. Now, my mother gave the information, and I'm pretty sure she knew how to spell the name, so we have a double "error." First the Enumerator, then the Indexer(s) who apparently ignored the capitalization.

They have been very adamant about keep the place names spelled correct, even correct county and state. As for that indexed who ignore captionzed letter, shame!

Patricia, have you checked into using ancestry.com at your local library? I use it there and get access to census records. I realize it can't be used at home, so that may be inconvenient. Also, you might check on your at-home website for your library - I can use HeritageQuest via my library patron # at home.

"Can Eng" "Can West" and "Upper Canada" mean Ontario "Can Fr" "Can East" and "Lower Canada" mean Quebec However, on the 1900 census, the instructions were: 143. If the birthplace reported is Canada or Newfoundland, ask whether the person is of English or French descent. Write Canada English or Canada French, according to the answer. So, presumably, a person born in Quebec of "English" origin rather than "French" origin would be so noted. In 1930, we have: 170. French Canadians should be distinguished from other Canadians. For a French-speaking person born in Canada, enter "Canada-French"; for all other persons born in Canada, enter "Canada-English" (even though they may not actually speak English). In 1940 we have: 475. French Canadians, i.e., Canadians of French mother tongue, should be distinguished from other Canadians and reported as Canada-French. For all other persons born in Canada, enter Canada, English, even though they may not actually speak English. Isn't this fun? Just goes to show that you ALWAYS have to read the enumerators instructions before deciding what a particular usage means.

More images and titles will continue to be added. Several other states have similar projects. (Utah and Colorado are the ones I am most familiar with) Some to the newspaper titles are hosted at the Library of Congress so you should also check their site particularly for other states you might be researching.

Thus, a person could be a third generation Canadian, but have the origin of Scots, Irish, or whatever. Interestingly, on the 1881 index at Ancestry, the word "origin" has been replaced by "nationality." That makes no sense - a person's grandfather could be born in Scotland of Irish origin (or, more likely, the reverse). The instruction (per Ancestry) for this section is: "Origin (Ethnic Background) - "Indian" was used for people of Native descent" In 1891, this was replaced with the same "birth place of father/mother." The 1871 census also has "origin" Origin (Ethnic Background) The 1861 is mute on the subject. All of these, by the way, include some interesting "other" questions, such as the Religion of the occupants. The 1861 asks about the living situation: House: Brick stone, frame, log, &c; number of stories Number of families living in house. Vacant (so, they enumerated vacant dwellings as well?) Being built I really appreciate this, as I have one family in Guysborough, NS, that has "Portuguese" as "origin" - apparently some Portuguese fishermen made their way to Nova Scotia and never left! By 1871, there were 372 people descended from these fishermen.

My question is whether in 1881 and several generations, well maybe only three generations removed from our ancestor who was born in Scotland is that really a valid answer per their questionnaire? I realize that is a little off topic, but it just occurred to me apropos your information on the instructions. Has anyone ever seen the instructions for the Canadian Census?

"Can Eng" "Can West" and "Upper Canada" mean Ontario "Can Fr" "Can East" and "Lower Canada" mean Quebec However, on the 1900 census, the instructions were: 143. If the birthplace reported is Canada or Newfoundland, ask whether the person is of English or French descent. Write Canada English or Canada French, according to the answer. So, presumably, a person born in Quebec of "English" origin rather than "French" origin would be so noted. In 1930, we have: 170. French Canadians should be distinguished from other Canadians. For a French-speaking person born in Canada, enter "Canada-French"; for all other persons born in Canada, enter "Canada-English" (even though they may not actually speak English). In 1940 we have: 475. French Canadians, i.e., Canadians of French mother tongue, should be distinguished from other Canadians and reported as Canada-French. For all other persons born in Canada, enter Canada, English, even though they may not actually speak English. Isn't this fun? Just goes to show that you ALWAYS have to read the enumerators instructions before deciding what a particular usage means.

So if you wanted to volunteer at a cemetery in another part of the state you could offer assistance there if you chose to. Enjoy your visit with the "relatives" on the 20th.

I recently acquired a scrapbook of newspaper clippings from the Oregonian dating between 1933 to 1935. The clippings are all about Royalty, kidnappings and the whole Charles Lindbergh thing is in there, including the trial for the couple who were accused. Movie stars, local music and radio. There is a photo of Morey Amsterdam doing his radio thing. Marriage announcements and obits and lots of articles about the Catholic religion. There is a fabulous story about the group of nuns who traveled here from Europe to start a school and the hardships they endured and there is a list of schools. My property, here in Beaverton, was rumored to have had a Catholic girl's school on it but was not mentioned. There is an antique Catholic cemetery across Murray Blvd. next to a large Baptist church. The stones are all dated around 1880 but I have never been able to find anything about the school. My neighborhood is called Marysville and it is just two blocks from Hwy 26 on Murray towards Beaverton. It is not really in the city limits of Beaverton but our address is Beaverton. I have seen the history of the early settlers of this neighborhood but still no mention of the school or church that must have been next to the cemetery. Anyway, my neighbor has given me a small stack of mostly ruined Oregonian newspapers dating from the 20's. Some say Oregon Journal and they are in the large format. I would like to offer these to anyone who might like to have them. I couldn't resist getting the scrapbook at a garage sale for 50? but I am not trying to acquire any more things. (So, why am I going to garage sales?) : ) So, anyone who would be willing to pay the postage can have these things and I am offering them here because of the interest in Oregon I think you all must have. There is no telling what you might find. Some of the articles are not pasted at the bottom and you can lift them and read what is on the back. I saw an article they were still talking about prohibition which I thought was over by 1933 but maybe it was still in affect until 1936? So, I'll take the first person who says they would like to have these and if you send me your zip code I will be able to tell you how much it will cost to send you the items. Thanks!

So either the civil registry is way off, or the parents were confused about the distinction between due date and birth date when they were answering the census questions.? According to the age listed at time of death I would say the civil registry got fouled up, I suspect a copying error, the date is clearly written Sept in the birth registry, but calculating?backwards?from?the date of death puts his birth on 22 April.?

Was a long time with out net. One year near Madras I help out some people with their farm, Then on the way out here, my trailer was rolled and we lost both computers though the roof, they did not work after that. Since here, we were a long time with out net. I built our pioneer home stead out her in the brush, and am just getting settled down so I can enjoy the net again, been a few experiments herein there to live off grid and keep the power charged but I got it figured now. ALL things I have are available here once I get the shelves organized so I can have it indexed better to find. Its been a tough few years for a old guy playing in living off grid. Any one who has sent me things, its not bad to make a reminder because out of so many things, its hard to get the past back on track. Was hard, settling in here with out our home, it snowed the first night and we sure missed our trailer house with the power forced air heater. LOL. So, yes, I am making websites again. I have 5 counties us gen web Oregon and Modoc, also my Oregon in view website. I will host the Local American History net work there for Oregon and Mont. Lots of update has been made. Not always noticeable because you would have to hit all my pages every day to see changes, or some times just a code correction. For a long time I was charging my laptop with solar, run the battery down and turn it off till it charged again. Quite an experience since a kid when we lived the off grid life as the only way and now we make a choice, the easy city way or the work way. Just having coffee or a hot shower, not as simple as in town. :) Yup, am still at it, just hit a bump in time.

There are several listings online for this cemetery. The best maintained one is the Find-a-Grave as it allows editing and family connections. There is a list at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ordougla/OakCrCem.htm It has many of my ATTERBURY relatives but doesn't have the BLAKELY's, CANNON's, CONNINE's, TALCOTT's and others (a few that I'm not yet known to be related to). http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~orgsdc/cemeteryindex.html is a list of burials by surname and tells you which cemetery they are buried in. The Douglas County Genealogy Society published the books where the transcriptions were blended with sexton records I believe. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~orgsdc/Publications.html Hopefully that might help someone searching in Douglas County.

The staff are very helpful if you are not certain of the county or the date. If that information is known, the search is by county, by month, by year. Death certificates prior to 1903 are not as complete because the law requiring state registry was not enacted until that year and not every county sent prior records and even for 1903-04 they are incomplete. Some counties retained records prior to 1903 - but many records were lost or destroyed by fire depending on the county. Information on parents is not always included on the death certificates depending on who the informant was or often, the circumstances surrounding the death. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Virginia Roberts" To: "Linda Wiley" , "or-roots mail list" Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2012 10:07:49 PM Subject: Re: [or-roots] Social security How kind of you.

Health Statistics (Vital Records) has not relinquished any of the original birth certificates to our custody. The issue does have to do with the difficulty in creating high enough quality surrogate images from the originals to feel they would be able to meet their requirements to produce legal documents when requested. The archives will certainly make an announcement when the birth certificates are transferred to our custody. In regards to Death Certificates they are available through us up to the year 1961. I usually post to the list at the first of the year to remind everyone that another group has become available. Regards, Layne Sawyer "list mom" Manager of Reference Services Oregon State Archives P.S. Happy Memorial Day to everyone. The State Archives will be open Friday May 25th for regular business hours. We do not observe the statewide furlough days as the statutes designate us as a filing office and dictate that we are open Monday-Friday, 8:00-5:00. So come on in and enjoy a quiet day at the Archives. -----Original Message----- From: or-roots-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us [mailto:or-roots-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of denisesproed at onlinenw.com Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2012 1:21 PM To: or-roots mail list Subject: [or-roots] Archives - Death/Birth Certificates > 100 years for birth certificates I am aware the State Archives has the Original Death Certificates on hand (& those of 1961 and prior can be viewed/copied).

I have a book that I bought years ago thinking I could find a descendant to send it home to. Maybe one of you would like to have this. It is called "Realization" by Ernest Weltmer and it is an inspirational religious type book. There is notation on the cover that it was gifted to S.A. Kemp of Woodburn, OR by Dr. Armstrong who was her doctor during the winter of 1912-1913. S.A. Kemp is Sadie Ann Butson Kemp, wife of John Anthony Kemp. Her family genealogy can be found in the family files on Rootsweb. I have already offered the poster of these files the book and he declined since he is a distant relative and thought it should go to a more closely related person. Inside the book are more notations and newspaper clippings. The clippings are more of an inspirational nature but some are birth announcements and one clipping that I wanted to share with everyone that is humorous. I don't know the name of the paper but am betting it is the Oregonian. I will paste below. Linda Purvis Beaverton, OR BRYAN SHAVED OREGON FRIEND July 28, 1925 Colonel Milton A Miller is perhaps the only man of the Pacific Coast who was ever shaved by the late William J. Bryan. It was some time after the election of 1896 that Miller went East to visit the Democratic leader in his home at Lincoln, Neb. The Oregon man arrived late Saturday night. There was no time for shaving. Sunday morning came and no barber shops were open. Miller did not carry a razor. "We'll go to church together, Mr. Miller," said the host, happily. "Well, Mr. Bryan, I don't look acceptable. I need a shave and there's no place to get one," replied the Oregon man. "Come right in here," said Bryan, leading the way to the bathroom. A big towel was quickly wrapped around Miller's neck, the former candidate for president smeared his friend's face with lather and in a few minutes Miller was shaved and ready for church. "I surely do remember that several times he nearly took the skin off me," said Miller. "But it was the most noted close shave of my life." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The best maintained one is the Find-a-Grave as it allows editing and family connections. ? There is a list at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ordougla/OakCrCem.htm?

The Douglas County Genealogy Society published the books where the transcriptions were blended with sexton records I believe. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~orgsdc/Publications.html Hopefully that might help someone searching in Douglas County.?

Now it's time for me to get down to business with my search to benefit my grandchildren. My grandmothers parents and uncle are buried at Belle Passe in Woodburn. My great grandparents are John Beach and Martha Lasira Noble Beach. Martha's paternal line traces back to Thomas Noble in mid 1600's in Massachusets. (Martha,Caleb, Thomas Jr., Thomas Sr.,} I've not done so well with the Beach family who came here from Michigan. Both John and his brother Amos fought in Custer's Cavalry regiment in the Civil War. Amos was taken prisoner and John was wounded. I've recently learned that Amos was the first constable in Woodburn, in fact there is an article about him on the web page of the Woodburn police chief. I've just now found the following article about Amos through Genealogy Bank, that gives some very exciting details about his military service. Here's where I need help on this line. My great-grandaughter, an 8th grader at Butte Creek (honor roll student if I may brag) is currently studying the Civil War, including the battles mentioned below. She would like to take a copy of this article to her teacher, but for the life of me I can't get it to copy! Can any one help? Also Amos had several children. His son George was the first City Recorder. If anyone has knowledge of any of this family and descendants I would dearly love help in locating them.

Through difficulty or success our citizens have always been at our side. _*The Woodburn Police Department traces its roots to 1889 when Amos Beach was sworn in as the first Town Marshall wearing a gold six pointed star, which had been made by his friends, for the purpose of protecting and serving the citizens of the newly formed community.*_ Today, over 120 years later, the department remains committed to serving our friends, the residents of Woodburn. Key to the success of this service is the maintenance of our own standards and ethics, which can only be maintained through commitment to basic values. Our six *Core Values* are designed to provide our members with guidance on how to provide quality service to our residents and how we expect to conduct ourselves: Three of the core values look inwardly to what we strive for within ourselves; *Integrity, Courage, and Pride*. Three look outwardly to what we desire to provide to the public; *Respect, Accountability, and Service*. Mindful of these core values we endeavor to fulfill our mission, as stated in our Mission Statement: "The Woodburn Police Department strives to be a leader in law enforcement by: providing continuous and innovative improvement in service to our community, building partnerships, and valuing our members." Today the Woodburn Police Department seeks to meet the challenges of policing in the 21st century by engaging our community partners to help us solve problems at their point of origin through both traditional and non-traditional law enforcement. At the same time we must always be prepared to serve mankind by; safeguarding lives and property; protecting all persons against deception, the weak against oppression or intimidation, and the peaceful against violence or disorder; and to respect the Constitutional rights of all people to liberty, equality and justice. (Signed), Scott D. Russell, Chief of Police -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Now it's time for me to get down to business with my search to benefit my grandchildren. My grandmothers parents and uncle are buried at Belle Passe in Woodburn.? My great grandparents are John Beach and Martha Lasira Noble Beach. Martha's paternal line traces back to Thomas Noble in mid 1600's in Massachusets. (Martha,Caleb, Thomas Jr., Thomas Sr.,} I've not done so well with the Beach family who came here from Michigan.? Both John and his brother Amos fought in Custer's Cavalry regiment in the Civil War.? Amos was taken prisoner and John was wounded. I've recently learned that Amos was the first constable in Woodburn, in fact there is an article about him on the web page of the Woodburn police chief.? I've just now found the following article about Amos through Genealogy Bank, that gives some very exciting details about his military service. Here's where I need help on this line.? My great-grandaughter, an 8th grader at Butte Creek (honor roll student if I may brag) is currently studying the Civil War, including the battles mentioned below.? She would like to take a copy of this article to her teacher, but for the life of me I can't get it to copy! Can any one help? Also Amos had several children. His son George was the first City Recorder.? If anyone has knowledge of any of this family and descendants I would dearly love help in locating them. My grandmother, Jessie May Beach Austin, was an only child, so no where to go there. Thank you for any help you can give me. Arlene Robinson (I may have to send the article in a separate e-mail.
