[or-roots] Re: Hermiston help?

[Sue Steward]

Melanie, there are a number of posts to the Ancestry.comMILLER message
Board - submitted by Barton Miller    jacobr at ados.com  that looks like it is
the same family as the one you are searching for:

Looking for Miller from Nebraska and Oregon. I know great grandfather was
George Washington Westley Miller and GG Grandfather was Westley Miller both
from the Nebraska Area.  George had brothers, I believe Guy Miller or George
Guy Miller who I believe lived in Oregon. I have several other Miller names
also, If you have any Miller's that might be associated please let me know.

*********************************************
Are any of these names part of you family. I have Millers in Oregon:

George W. Miller
William Miller
Laurence W. Miller
Lawrence G. Miller
Guy Miller
Dora Miller
Bertha Jerina Miller
Hazel Miller
Vincent Miller

****************************************************
I  have a gggrandfather and GGGgrandfather, William A Miller and Nelson
Miller who lived in the Troy Ohio Miami Co. area around 1850. If you think
we may have a connection please send me an email at jacobr at ados.com

*****************************************

Here is the Miller line as far back as I can go. Anyone who beleives we have
a connection please contact me directly at jacobr at ados.com.

**************************************************
I had a GG grandfather named William Miller who lived in the Nebraska Area.
Is is possible this may be the same William? the time frame is about the
same. Im not sure how many children he had, but one of his sons was named
George WW Miller.  Jane Borowski    MBorow9650 at aol.com

You indicated there were family problems which kept you from getting
information from your family but looks like reading this Miller message
board on ancestry.com would give you lots of information.  If these people
are not your relatives that you can't talk to, looks like they would be a
good source of information to help you.
