Good stuff!

Good work! I hope someone will continue to document and publish our Jewish roots in Oregon from 1890 to about 1930. Familys, Kohanski, Cohen, Dubiver, Calmenson, Dellar (Diller), Labby, Weinstein, and Gerstman to name a few that came from Europe, most from Russia through The Mansion House of London. After arrival in the US and a failed attempt at homesteading in Painted Woods North Dakota, these familys lived in Minnesota (St Paul) and Dakota (Washburn) in the early to late 1880's. These familys then went on to the west coast, The Dalles (WASCO COUNTY Cohen-Fine-Dubiver), Salem (MARION COUNTY Cohen), and Portland (MULTNOMAH COUNTY Cohen-Dubiver-Dellar) Oregon, as well as the state of Washington.
