Head over to the Smoky Valley
Genealogical Society's web site. Test yourself on their 8th grade
exam…..from 1895. It gives a new meaning to only having an 8th grade
education.

Some interesting links Endorsed by our web master;
First I want to mention heritage quest, for those living in the Lower Umpqua
can use our local library with their card number;
Douglas
County Library Databases
after logging into that page, find the Heritage Quest button top center right
of the page. Those with Coos County Library cards will find it at;
Coos Bay Library Resources
almost dead center on the page.
Click on the link and log on with your card number.
My other favorite new genealogy resource is Google Books; make your regular
search / search within results and then at the top of the page, above the
box for entering your search info is the word "more" use it to pull down and
click on "books." If you find a book of interest that is set up so you can
read all or parts of it, it is also searchable in the right hand column.
I have some extra copies of some previous newsletters; Les.
