[or-roots] Portrait and biographical record of Portland and vicinity

[Leslie Chapman]

I am pretty sure I have mentioned this before, but there is an index and
some of the info is transcribed at;

If anyone sees somebody they want there and don't want to bug Diana for
them, I can pull up a pdf without too much trouble.

On another note I received a copy of some obits of kin from Tillamook Co
museum (which i still need to make a donation to show my gratitude for) and
discovered that as of 1982 I had Melvin Kin living in Oregon that I had
never heard of;

Marcia (Melvin) Johnson and her brother Michael J. Melvin. They were in the
Portland and Wilsonville respectively when the Dad died in 1982, I just
noticed his sister Dorothy Wendling was supposed to be alive in Chehalis
Washington and brother Harry was in Gold Beach yet. I guess i should get out
the phone book and see if Harry is still around. He'd be about 90. I am not
really asking for anything on these folks, just if somebody has something on
them I'd like to know about it and mostly I want to announce I am looking
for them in case they have a curiousity about kin.
