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.
Family Genealogy
My ancestors settled in Lewis County, Washington Territory in 1879. We are one of the oldest family lines that stayed in the area, raising family after family of descents.
Onalaska WA
Years ago in the 1920's Onalaska had the largest logging mill in the state. It was founded in 1914 by William Carlisle. There are two historical Cookbooks with pictorial and written histories.
Web Projects
Visit A Polished Earth for esential findings for Jewelry Making from a local Lapidary. Another of my web projects that I am proud of is for the Lewis County Genealogical Society.
