<DIV>Here's the bargain of the week..."Free to a Good Home"...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As I'm "feng shui'ing" my vast collections, I find some references that I
don't use. One of them is a booklet called "Some Oregon Branches of the
Young, Owens, and Sherman Families" self-published ca. 1982 by Bonnie
Alderman. I bought this book when I was researching my children's
paternal family lines. It turned out to be wholly different lines, but
the book has nice family pictures and a lot of early Oregon information.
I'll be glad to send it to anyone connected to these lines. Some of the
names in the book are:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Gannon, Chandler, Appleton, Cooper, Tidd, Turner, Handley, Scott,
Thompson, Owens, Sherman, Goucher, Reeder, Willaby, Vedder. This is
primarily about the descendents of Thomas Owens (1813-1892) and Emeline Young
(1826-1903) and the locale is the McMinnville - Dundee areas of Oregon with
the Young line emigrating from New Zeeland and Australia and the Owens line
coming from Wales (Thomas Owens and his twin brother Evan).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If anyone connects or has a strong interest, let me know and I'll drop it
in the mail.</DIV>
