I am wondering if anyone can tell me how I would find a Catholic record of Birth and/or Baptism for an individual born in 1848 in Cowlitz, Washington Territory, other than those books, volumes 1 thru 7, Catholic Records of the Pacific Northwest. Where else might I look? This was a child born to an HBC [Hudsons Bay Co.] father who was probably posted in the area.

I'm working on my husband's ancestry and in tracing down his IMEL line believe Evelyn Virginia Anderson (daughter of Rose Imel Anderson) married Max Zimmerman. It appears they both died in Longview, Cowlitz Co., Washington.....I would love to obtain obituaries for the two of them to confirm if I've found the right people. Evelyn Virginia Zimmerman died on Aug. 24, 1996 in Longview and husband Max Zimmerman died on May 1, 1997 in Longview. Could someone possibly help me locate their obits? I would be most grateful!

I am looking for information on John & Margaret (Jones)Knapp who are the parents of Peter Jones, William Henry Norris, Peter and Cornelius Knapp. I have obtained death certificates on William and it states his father was John Knapp and he was born in Wales, and Margaret Jones was born in Canada. Peter Jones Knapp died 13 April 1924 death certificate shows his father was John Knapp from Canada and mother Margaret Jones from Canada. Peter Knapp died on 13 April 1924 and Cornelius Knapp was murdered about Dec 1900 and both are buried in Cowlitz County. John Knapp died Jan 9, 1852 in Porter Co, IN. Cannot find his widow-Margaret(Jones)Knapp who was born abt 1797. Any help would greatly be apppreciated.
