[or-roots] My Family Information

[Virginia Roberts]

David,
I am certain I can help you.  I live in Pendleton and do genealogical
research for the library, historical society and the genealogical society.
There were 2 William Crow families in the county at the smae time, both
have John W descendents and I have researched both.

At the library we have  some very valuable b=books, such as one with brief
obituary information from the old Mlton newspapers ,

Please contact me so I can be sure which Crowe family  you are connected
with..

Virginia Roberts
