Maybe my cousins would be interested, Daniel R is my<BR>second <BR>great uncle, so nephews are not allowed. My cousin told me John W<BR>Christian <BR>who was born on the Oregon Trail to Eugene at Salmon Falls was not <BR>"qualified" to join that society. This was back in the early 1900s he<BR>tried <BR>to apply, John is the son of Daniel R. I do have relatives though that <BR>would qualify under the term "son or daughter" of.
