There are still Schrette/Cherette families in Inchelium, Ferry Co., Wash. I don't know whether they are interested in family history, though.
And I think there may be Jondro's in Okanogan County. Have you posted to the Okanogan County site?

I'm researching Alexander and Esther Gendron for a friend who descends through their daughter Adeline. She married Matthew Scherette about 1877. From your message, it appears that her brother married the child of another Scherette.

Can you tell me anything about Adeline? Thank you for any information you can provide.

Thank you for offering to do this. I'm looking for the obituaries of a couple who died within less than two years of each other, leaving at least four children. The mother, DELLA BERVAR, died first on 29 March 1928. The father, FLORIN BERVAR, died on 16 October 1929. Both died in Colville. Their surname may be spelled Berwar.

Thank you very much. This will be a great help.

The only thing I have on the Burris family is Mary Chamberlin married James in 1894 in Colville, he was the son of Sylvestor and Margarett Carroll, and died in 1961 in WA. They had one child named James also that was born 1898 in WA and died 1966 in Addy, Stevens County, WA.

I need to get death certificate info or obits . . .
Let me know if you hook anything up on this family (please).

RBestrom7380 — 2009-10-01 20:43:23Z

The Colville Class of 1969 just had our 40th reunion. I tried to find death dates, then obits for three members. Didn't have enough time or access at the time. I will re-start now so I can have a copy for our next reunion (45th or 50th).

I need dates/obits, information on:
Donald Keeley. Sometime between 1969 and 1979, pilot in Alaska.
Janet Lyman. Sometime between 1999 and 2009? In Alaska.
Helen Sanders. Car accident in Washington?

I don't know the married names of Janet or Helen.

Also, if you are related to any of our nine departed classmates; and, have their graduation or other photo's. Please contact me (click on my name above for my email address). I come to Colvlle periodically and would like to scan or obtain a good copy.

At the High School, there were individual member pictures of each class year hanging in large frames in the cafeteria. Does anyone know where they are now? Specifically for the class of 1969?
