Eija sent a query to this <BR>> list in August. Thanks to Sue's information, my Dad copied two obits and a <BR>> couple of pages out of the cemetery book for Mt. Solo Cemetery in Longview <BR>> and sent them to me. I misplaced them until this week while cleaning for <BR>> Christmas. I scanned them and emailed them to Eija. She replied and said <BR>> there was a cousin living in Vancouver which is where I live. So I called <BR>> them up, then took them four pages of our email correspondence. It turns <BR>> out the Ina we were researching is this cousin's Mother. She had lost Ina's <BR>> address book with all her Finnish relatives after Ina's death. All this to <BR>> say that the American cousins are getting in touch with their Finnish <BR>> cousins. What a joy to be part of it! <BR>> Merry Christmas to all! <BR>> Ronda <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> ----- Original Message ----- <BR>> From: "Sue Steward" <SSTEWARD@CCOUNTRY.NET><BR>> To: <OR-ROOTS@SOSINET.SOS.STATE.OR.US><BR>> Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2005 6:02 AM <BR>> Subject: Re: [or-roots] thanks Suo for Simonson <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> > Okay, here's your information.
