[or-roots] finding lost cousin

[Sue Steward]

I live in Medford so not close enough to do some checking in the local area.

  Sue, thanks for being willing to help me with this quest.  I did try the high schools through Classmates, no luck that way. I wondered how to 

  contact them via snail mail about looking up a possible alumni. Do you live in the area?   Meantime I'll call the numbers listed for A Shirley, just to see

  what happens.  I wish I knew if you had married. I also hoped to find a middle name for her. Nothing yet!!.    Thanks again.   Dale

  There are a couple of high schools in Klamath Falls.  I'd try there, hoping they have some information in their alumni files that might be of help.  Born in 1942, she would probably have graduated in about 1960.

    Would any researcher on the list be able to help me find the birth record 

    for a cousin long lost to my family. It would be a good 1st step. 



    Her name is ALINE SHIRLEY, b. April 1942 in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Her 

    father (my Uncle Al)  was ALLAN ARTHUR SHIRLEY b. 1912, Camus, WA, Her mother was 

    FERN ZEIGLER no birthdate or location 'not sure of spelling' ( not her middle or maiden name) but her name from a previous marriage. 



    I have attempted finding a birth record for her and a marriage record for her. I do 

    not know if she is alive or not. Finding records for someone who is est. 63 yrs old

    and possibly residing in the PNW is not easy. As far as I know, she never knew 

    her father or any of the Shirley's she is related to by birth. It would be a genealogical

    feat to find her alive, contact her and see if she is interested in knowing her long

    lost cousins. 



    Would welcome any ideas or thoughts regarding how to research this missing family member.
