[or-roots] Long Family

[Connie Guardino]

I had a similar experience when I found a very old family Bible in a
dumpster, along with a WWII cloth map, pictures etc. The family (whose
name I have forgotten) were from New Hampshire. I contacted the
historical society there, and they welcomed the shipment. Perhaps, with
the WWII letters, an historical society or museum might want them if you
can't find the family. Here in Wisconsin we have a military museum, but
I don't recall if Oregon has one as well. I'll always feel good that I
took that extra mile. ;-)
