I am looking for any information on Olds, Buchanan or Drinkwine Families in the Seattle area. My Grandfather was Thomas Melvin Olds, he was born 1909 and died 1976. He served in the US Navy and at one time in the fifties or sixties he owned an appliance store. His father was Thomas Jefferson Olds. He died about 1953. He worked in the Shipyards and operated tug boats in Puget Sound. He was married to Cylinda Melamie Drinkwine (Olds). They were devout Catholics. It is believed that Cylinda Drinkwine's family operated hotels in the area? Any information on any of these people would be greatly appreciated. You can email me directly at
