- I am searching for the family of Aldert DeLange. He was born in the Netherlands around 1900. He came to US in 1923 and stopped to Muskegon, MI, to visit relatives before going West. His wife may be Phyllis. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Lou & Verla Hooker lvhook@ncats.net
- Searching for Linda Overlander, daughter of Lorna, granddaughter of Edward Whitten of Redmond, Oregon. Linda and I are cousins and the end of the direct Whitten line. I think the homestead that they lived on was sold to the school district and the high school now occupies that land. Would like to hear from anyone knowing the history of this land, its occupants since 1952 when Edward died. Also am interested in Eddie Whitten, born 1913 and buried in the Redmond Cemetery. Help appreciated. - AliceMarie moonspinner@gobigwest.com
- I'm searching for the family of Paul William Crawley and his wife Catherine. Paul was born 23 March 1918 in China to Paul S Crawley and Anastasia Crawley. He was a US Army Veteran and died in Coos County, OR on 27 November 1990. He is buried in Riverside National Cemetery. His wife, Catherine, was born in 1916 (exact DOB unknown) and she died in Deschutes County on 11 November 2001. Her last address was 1211 North Dawson Rd 2, Bend Oregon. I would like to find next of kin. I do know that Paul's sister is Annette K Turner, formerly Crawley, and may still be alive but address not known. Any help would be deeply appreciated!

- We are searching for descendants of Knut Thevik, the son of my wife's great-grandmother who emigrated from Norway to Alaska with his pregnant wife Hanna. They got 2 children, John and Mathilda. John lived and died in Kodiak, Alaska. He was not married. Mathilda was, according to Oregon Marriages 1906-20 Record, married to Gust A Berg in Deschutes County 02 Mar 1918. She died 06 Oct 1919 in the same county, kin in Norway says it was due to the Spanish Flu, but before she died she got a son named Robert. At this point our information about descendants end. We would be very grateful if you could advice where to ask for any more information about Robert (and his father).

- Attempting to contact Robert Barker or any of his descendants. He at one time lived in Bend and may still be living there. I believe he is the grandson of my grandmothers sister. His grandmother would be Gertrude Hodgson Barker and my grandmother was Carrie Hodgson Wells. This branch of the family is difficult to contact and this is the first lead I have had in years. The only information I have is from his father's obituary, His father was Maurice Orley Barker and he died in Eugene 9 May 1983. His mother was Elene C. Barker and she died in February 1993. He had a brother, Wood Barker who died in Portland on 14 June 1997. Wish I could tell you more. Believe his age to be somewhere between 50 and 70. If you can help me I would be very, very grateful. Thank you. Contact: Harold Wells clare7@gulftel.com
