[or-roots] It ain't there anymore!

Listers:

It ain't there anymore!

To help you break down some "brick walls", keep this in mind.

The town where my father was born, Lamonta, OR, no longer exists.

The house where my maternal grandfather lived (in Seattle in 1959), no longer exists; it is now a used car lot.

You can't find Marshfield, OR, on the map today because it's name was changed to Coos Bay.

You can't find some houses in Portland because they did a street reasignment in the 1930's.

You can't find many houses in many cities throught the USA because or the Interstate Freeways, which demoloshished or moved them to make way for the highways.

You will not find some ancestors because they changed their name(s), for one reason or another.

It ain't there anymore!

Good hunting,
Cecil
