[or-roots] Request for research assistance

[daleshir]

To whomever is holding on to Or-Roots and giving us what info is available or advice on how to still use it effectively,  THANKYOU. I have always enjoyed what ever news was posted. I have Shirley/Spohn ancestry connected closely to Oregon History. I got quite a bit of valuable help from a number of researchers in my fledging years as I began tracing my Grandparents family history. It was so helpful. I am not sure what I would have done without this help. Thanks again.   Dale Shirley  daleshir at comcast.netSent from my Galaxy Tab® A

In fact, I just answered it myself.Sometimes people join email lists without knowing just what they are, or maybe it's been so quiet you forgot it was here!I hope you can find some use for it in researching your Oregon Ancestors.Pat DunfordTucson, AZ  From: or-roots [mailto:or-roots-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of papaglen000--- via or-rootsSent: Thursday, March 07, 2019 11:29 PMTo: or-roots at listsmart.osl.state.or.usSubject: Re: [or-roots] Request for research assistance DEAR JEFF -      I DON'T KNOW HOW OR WHEREYOU GOT MY E-MAIL ADDRESS, BUT I KNOW NOTHINGWHATSOVER OF THE NAMES YOU HAD IN YOUR E-MAIL TO ME.
