<DIV>Have you tried going to your local library to see if they have access to
Heritage Quest, with a library card and pin number you can access from home
and they do have some things online, that may give you information at least on
where to look.</DIV>
<DIV>Ancestry, which I do have a subscription to has a broad search pattern
and really gives to many things to look at sometimes.</DIV>

Re: [or-roots] Look-up Augusta Bullard -
Ancestry.com<BR><BR></FONT></DIV><FONT id=role_document face=Arial

<DIV>Having a fascination with a speedy new Internet connection, I did a
"quick" lookup on Ancestry.com for Bullard in Oregon with keyword
Oregonian. I found thirty-eight articles referenced and (yawn)
looked at all of them. Now I'm not going to begin a bash of
Ancestry.com because I've found a lot of clues to many different lines on
that site...BUT...I've never found anything of value in the old newspaper
searches. This was no exception.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The recognition software is considerably buggy and recognizes all
sorts of odd combinations. In this instance it found billiards,
ballards (Oregon's Governor Ballard made the paper frequently), bustards
and a couple of Bullards out of state...including one who robbed a bank in
Boston and one who attested to the efficacy of a patent medicine in a
repeating advertisment. The only Bullards referenced in Oregon were
A.J. Bullard who was an officer of an odd lodge that met in Druid Hall and
his name appeared in the published meeting notices...frequently.
There was an article about a Rev. H. Bullard who was charged with
assaulting one S.S. Call in a religious argument... S.S. Call was an
"Adventist" and Rev. Bullard wanted him to stop preaching...so
he apparently whapped his head a few times on the floor of the
blacksmith shop where Call worked. Several editions of the Oregonian
carried the continuation of that story. One article referenced t he
fou nding of a lodge in Washington state; one of the founders was a Mrs.
Job Bullard and the lodge was the Willapa branch so I'm assuming it was in
Pacific County. There was a brief mention in another article of
Bullard Ranch as a proposed county seat...but I couldn't read which
county...or even which state. There was a later reference to
Bullard's beach. Obituaries for the surname Bullard are recent and
mostly associated with the Kiser family.</DIV>
