[or-roots] Whitman County, Washington

Tue May 19 20:33:55 PDT 2009

Like Denise, I have had Oregon families go to Whitman Co., WA, but I also have some that were there a little earlier than that.  Some stayed; some came on to Oregon.  

If you are doing Whitman Co., WA research, be sure that you take a look at the Washington Digital Archives:  http://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/Default.aspx

I have noticed that quite a number of my "Oregon" families migrated up into 
Whitman County (1880's-1900's).   It is interesting to see the migration 
patterns for time periods.
