Judith Rempel Tues Sep 16 07:26:30 1997
Am actively looking for the descendants of Johann E. PETERS (1865-1955) and Elizabeth DYCK/DUECK (1869-1946). Both were born in Southern Russia to Mennonite families and immigrated to Canada in 1876. Through a series of interesting travels they found themselves in Oregon, and became associated with the Apostolic Church on Church Street in Dallas. I have reason to believe that they lived next door to it. Their surviving children were: Helena (m. Gerhard Giesbrecht), Johann (m. Lula Bowes), Agatha (m. Ernest Wiebe), Mary (m. Ora Janes), Susana (m. Bert Penner). I have quite a bit of information on the descendants of Johan E. Peters' siblings (who all stayed in Canada), as well as Helena (m. to G. Giesbrecht), but would love to connect with other researchers interested in and/or knowledgeable in the other lines that stayed in Oregon. I know that some of the above children moved to Portland, Medford, Terrebonne, and other places in Oregon. Some moved on to California as well.rempelj@cadvision.com - Judith Rempel

I just recently discovered that my grandmother, Velma Irene FINLEY, got married in Deschutes County in 1920 to a man by the name of Allen Curtis MOTHERSBAUGH. We had always heard rumors (but she would not confirm them) that my dad's older brother Hank had a different father. As a matter of fact, both dad & Hank had other fathers than what grandma led us to believe! I would like to find out more information about this Allen Curtis Mothersbaugh - where he was from, what he did and when he & grandma divorced (or if they divorced!). I know grandma was married in 1924 (if not earlier) to my dad's "real" father, Wallace Scott McCUEN, but I don't know when or where ... perhaps in Deschutes county? I know that Hank was born in Templeton, Iowa in 1921 and dad was born in Coon Rapids, Iowa in 1924. But in between those times, I have pictures of them both in Bend and enroute to Bend from the Burns area. If anyone has any information on any Finley's, Mothersbaugh's or McCuen's in the Deschutes county area, I would greatly appreciate a reply back! Thanks!!! **Ask me about the Cox Family Surname Mailing List, the McSwain Family Surname Mailing List and the Cox Database!** Andi Wise - andwis@teleport.com

GEORGE. Looking to make contact with the children and/or grandchildren of my great-uncle, Leopold (Slim) GEORGE; b:Jan 7/1876 in St. Paul, Kansas, d:June, 1951 in Oregon. 1914 Leopold GEORGE moved with his mother & adult siblings to Killam, Alberta Canada when the Canadian West was being settled. Circa, 1930's Leopold George & his wife, Theresa (VENNEMAN) George, moved to, I believe, the Portland area, but due to a lack of info. within the family in Canada, could very well be anywhere in OR state. They had 5 children: Maxine, Mary, Kay, Edmond, and Nick. All the children would have been born between 1902 - 1920. mmi067@ibm.net - Don George

Don George Wed Feb 12 20:49:20 1997
WILSON. Looking to make contact with the children and/or grandchildren of Petronella "Nell" (George) WILSON & Raymond WILSON. Nell (GEORGE) Wilson was born Dec 2, 1883, died Sept. 1966 in Oregon. 1914 Petronella (George) Wilson moved with her mother & adult siblings to WA state temporarily. Most of the George family eventually moved on to settle in Killam, Alberta Canada. My guess is Nell met Ray Wilson in WA state, married, and settled in the Portland area, and never did move to Killam, Alberta Canada with the rest of the family. Due to a lack of info within the family in Canada, this family could very well have settled elsewhere in OR state, but probably the Portland area. They had 6 children: Jeanette, Bernadette married Carl HELGERSON, Marie married Ben JOHNSON, Dan married Rose PETERSEN, Bill married Eva HETZLER and Ted married Harriet MURPHY. mmi067@ibm.net - Don George
