I Love Ireland!

Welcome to my new-and-improved website! I have plenty of Family Genealogy, History of Onalaska Washington, web projects I've been working on and a gallery of photography by me.

This months's cover photo [above] is of Ireland - I'm fancinated with all things Irish, go figure I'm a natural-born red-head with Irish family roots - hmm...

Where is Onalaska Washington?

We are located halfway between Seattle and Portland in Volcano Country. On a clear day Famous Mt. St. Helens looms her awesome sight over our little town and her sister just to the north, Mt. Rainer, is usually covered in a dusting of fresh snow. If you take a drive past Bear Canyon you will end up in Morton, East Lewis County. From there you will see Mt. Adams resting in the Goat Rock Wilderness.
