<DIV><FONT face="Bell MT">I think the>> Whys??? & etc., can best be answered by our the older ones in person If possible in our families. But, we don't always have that. I know in my case too, I need answers & the older ones have all passed away (In my families) with no one to give us those verbal answers to our many Questions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bell MT"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bell MT">Now on Suzanne's' Question.. Why did only Thomas Benton Clark move to Oregon & not the other family members? She would have to go back in time & find a diary or something that the family has wrote to explain what she wants to know, maybe.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi Nancy and all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I wonder if there are easier or better ways to find out the why questions. For me that would be Why did my Brewer family move to Lane County, OR from Arkansas, then to Grand Mound, WA? Why did my deBeer family immigrate from Germany/Holland? Why did my great grandfather's 3rd wife put my great grandfather in Washington state hospital, not notify his family, and take his property? Why did my husband's grandfather turn to a life of crime at age 23 and live as a criminal for as long as I can trace him?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I keep emailing potential cousins, hoping someone will have more information than me. I post queries here and there. I consider myself an advanced beginner newbie and welcome more knowledge of how to do this hobby!</FONT></DIV>
