color:#1F497D'>Well, I have kind of backed off the Oregon research. I seem to
be at a dead end with my maternal grandmother’s grandfather. Someone gave me
his death date but now can’t remember where she got it and she doesn’t know
where he died or where he might be buried. I suspect that his second wife
bumped him off and buried him in the back yard but can’t prove it of course.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>So I started working on my father’s side of the family back, way
way back in New York. That is not easy either. But you have to just keep
plugging away at it and once in a while you find something good.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Me too! Even
if it's just everyone checking in to say HI. I just started winter layoff
and will be poking around to see if anything fresh has hit the web during the
summer. I took a look at Ancestry's free Military access during Veteran's
Day but less came up there than I already had. I've established contact
with some second cousins in Omaha and Council Bluffs which will help flesh the
family on my Father's mother's side which have been more elusive than
his paternal side. Patience seems to be the key for me.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
