<DIV>It has now been about five hours since Layne posted this. While this link
did require a user name and password, the idea of going directly to
FamilySearch.org was forwarded in good time.</DIV>

<DIV>So far, almost all the comments from those who have looked have been
negative -- to the point of almost blaming the indexers. That's too bad. I
quickly did a search for the surname VanOrden in Lane County and think I found
some information I didn't know before. Thank you to everyone who worked so
diligently to make Oregon one of the early finishers.</DIV>

It is amazing what can be accomplished by the efforts of
volunteers!<o:p> </o:p></P>
