Yes I like the old magazines with the true stories in them even if I do not find family in them.
So you live a ways west of St. Helens, some relatives on my mother's side live their and I go out that way at times to the cemeteries.
The 7th edition of Oregon Geographic Names is in the bookstores now, the Oregonian article was about how he authors got  there information, a lot of it was from people like you and I doing family history etc.

        Glen,
        I didn't see the Geographic names in the Oregonian, that would have been nice to read, ..darn..
        because, I have names of geographic places in Oregon, like McCubbins Gulch for one. and some others.

        Do you ever read, True West / Frontier Times / Old West / magazines? I have stacks and stacks of them. 
        We bought this house >> [old cook house for the logging co.] 8 miles west of St. Helens, OR. The elderly man lived there for 50 years, but had to move closer to town. But, in his old garage, were about 4 large grocery store paper bags full to the top, with these magazines. I still have them, & go back and read them over and over again. I even ordered more off ebay, ..haha

        They really are true real stories / Non-Fiction. I find my families in them a lot, like up in Walla Walla, WA., area about a: 
        John PettyJohn..  Old pioneer stories are so great. These are written by the Pioneers themselves or there own decendents.
