Hi!
I am researching my maternal grandmothers family line. Her name was Wilma Helen Christy, born to Oscar Christy and Etha Parker of Clark Co. Washington. My mother says that the family originally came to Champoeg, Oregon on a wagon. I don't have names of Oscar's siblings but am told that two of his brothers were butchers that supplied meat to many of the local logging camps. Does any of this ring a bell? Hope to hear from you.
