thought I would share a short report on resources in Umatilla County. A
chain of circumstances occurred so that I was traveling through Pendleton
mid-day so I stopped at the Olney Cemetery office. I've never been up to
walking the entire cemetery to locate my relatives graves. The ladies in
the office were very gracious and helpful and in the end I copied their Excel
sheet file so I could continue to work on extracting the 27 relatives details
and possibly find some others (so far I have 30 so I found 3 more). I
then stopped at the Museum in Pendleton (at a train station) and they have
family surname files as well as photo files. Then I stopped at the
Pendleton Public Library. They have a nice obituary file that I believe
covered from the mid-1980's forward (can't recall the exact year) and a family
file as well as the Genealogy Society book collection. They also have the
Eastern Oregonian on microfilm. Unfortunately I only had 30 minutes
there but I enjoyed learning more about the resources. Thought I would
share in case anyone else gets to pass thru Pendleton and has a few moments to
do research. The people in Pendleton were ALL very gracious and helpful.</span></font></p>
