<DIV>As one of the volunteers who has worked on this database the past five
years I hope all of you will be a little tolerant when you find errors!
This has been a monumental project requiring checking and more checking. We
realize that it is not perfect but hope that you will welcome it as an
additional tool in your Oregon research! It is still a work in
progress.</DIV>
