fionacmacdonald — 13 Jul 2008 7:25:45 GMT

I'm searching for relatives of Duncan MacLennan (born Giarloch, Scotland in 1874) and his wife Mary (nee MacBain) born Kilsyth, Scotland in 1876). The married in Glasgow and immigrated to Ellenburg abt 1905.

The had 3 children (Margaret in 1909 - teacher as per 1930 census, Thomas - 1911, and Mary - 1913).

Duncan was a stockman (sheep). I do not know whether that means he had a farm.

RADER family

compmtn — 2 Apr 2008 2:48:38 GMT

Looking for decendents of Andrew Jackson RADER and wife Margaret CHANCE RADER.

My gr grandmother was Elizabeth A RADER who married a George W DAVIS in the area of Mt View California in about 1871. Her obit says she had two sisters and a brother living in Ellensburg Washington in 1937. They were: Mrs A J BAILES (Sarah Jane), Mrs E H HUSS (Rose), and George RADER.

In looking at the Hans Adam RADER line, I believe that my Elizabeth would be the Margaret listed.

I do have some old postcards from Ellensburg WA to my grandmother Susie BERRY DAVIS in Hollister.

Believe the connection is there and have a story to share of the trip from Iowa to California and a couple of old pictures of her. Also more of the family here in the California/Oregon area.

Any help or ideas please ??

Thanks Leonard GWINN

John Haskell 1886

broshire — 8 Apr 2008 9:36:04 GMT

My great-grandfather, John A. Haskell, died in Kittitas County, Washington on 6 October 1886. It has always been believed in our family that he died during the construction of the Stampede Pass Tunnel. He was the father of several children left behind in Goldendale, Klickitat County, WA including my grandfather, George A. Haskell, born 1879.

Does anyone know of a cemetery, or a monument, or some other edifice that commemorates this event? I have, over several years, corresponded with various entities -- including the Northern Pacific Railroad -- with no success. I have a copy of his probate records, so I am certain of my dates and of the location of his death.

The History of the Yakima Valley, comprising Yakima, Kittitas and Benton Counties, 1919

Jeffrey_Elmer — 16 Feb 2008 9:33:23 GMT

Hi,

From the WA State Archives on-line collection, I recently printed the Bios from Vol. II (1100+ pages) of the above book, scanned them, and submitted them to the WA Bios Project. The biographies can be viewed at:

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jtenlen/yakima-vall...

The copies I printed are very good quality, and it would be a waste just to dispose of them. I will gladly donate these copies to any Library, Society, or facility that could make use of them. First reply of interest gets the copies.

Thanks,
Jeffrey Elmer

I am searching for the family of one Veda Stevens who married one Clarence Ben Michels.
They lived in near Ellensburg in 1917 at 220 Clark Street in Pasco, Washington.
There was a child named James Phillip Stevens now deceased.

Veda had a sister by the name of Cora. Cora had married a fella by the name of Lindstrom in Spokane. Their address in 1917 was in Hillyard north of Spokane. Cora married again to a Grant.

I would like the parents name of Veda and Cora. I would like the family history of both of their marriages.

I have enough information on Clarence Ben Michels parents (I have seen the RootsWeb World Connect Project from marx-ritter).

I am more interested in the Stevens family aspect.
Can anyone locate a census showing both Veda and Cora and their parents?
I believe that Veda and Cora are buried at Holy Cross Cemetery near Ellensburg.

Would anyone be interested in doing some research for me?
Please help,
Thank you.

David Kirkpatrick (1862-1947) and his wife Alice Marilda Leach (1868-1921) arrived in South Cle Elum about 1907. The family appears in census records for 1910, 1920, and 1930. Previously they had lived in Clare County Michigan and Washburn, Bayfield County, Wisconsin.

David and Alice had one daughter, Hazel Kirkpatrick (1887-1931). She was married to Robert James Hamilton (1885-1970), Charles Squires and George Frank Brown (c1889- ).

I am descended from David Kirkpatrick and Alice Leach through their daughter Hazel and would like to exchange information about the family. Thanks.
