Research in Grant County has been steadily increasing and in an effort to meet the needs of the researchers, I've decided to start a "Query Page." Many of you already know how a query page works, but for those of you who don't - I'll briefly explain.

You'll simply fill out the email provided by the link below ... ALWAYS show, GRANT CO. QUERY REQUEST, in the subject line of the email. This will insure proper handling of your request. I'm very, very busy and it becomes a time consuming job when I have to write back inquiring as to the purpose of your email.

In the body of your email you'll want to include who you're researching, when and where they resided in Grant Co., your own name and any other pertinent genealogical information that might help others in determining a family connection. Try to keep it as brief as possible, direct and to the point.

The information our family has is a George Edgar SIMMONS or George Ernest Simmons married Viola Ellen STRATTON in Canyon City, Grant Co., Oregon on March 15, 1920. We cannot confirm any marriage. George was supposedly born September 4, 1898. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We call him the "mysterious George Simmons." Viola was grandmother on our lineage.

I am searching TRUELOVE family, i.e. Mary Jane TAYLOR married to William Truelove from Prince Edward Island, Canada. I am researching the Taylor family and I believe Mary Jane and her husband settled in the Grant Co. area. The only information I have is note in an old autograph book which states "Your loving Aunt Mamie, Grant Co., Oregon". My Taylor ancestor William left P.E.I. about 1875 and went to Humboldt , CA. Mary Jane was his daughter. Does anyone have any information for this family? Would really appreciate your help, Thanks, Marlene.
