Subject: [ORMARION-L] researching John Albert See, called Johanne See on marriage certificate

I am looking for anyone who may have information on the See families in
Oregon. We just received the homestead records of Our grandfather, John
Albert See, who homesteaded in Alberta Canada. These records show that he
stated his age as 34 when he applied for his homestead and the document is
stamp dated Sept.5, 1913. These records also show birthplace county USA and
sub division of country birthplace as Oregon. He made his request for
homestead from Missouri, was married at that time with wife and 5 children.
We have a photocopy of John's marriage certificate to Rebecca Colter in
Unionville Missouri and it shows the spelling of John as Johanne See. This
is the only document we have so far with this spelling for John. We are
trying to obtain a birth certificate of John so that we can find out for
sure his parents names. If anyone on the list has any information that may
help us pinpoint an area in Oregon to begin our search in obtaining this
documentation it would certainly be appreciated. We have a birthdate on his
death records given as March 3 1877, but we believe that this information
was given by family members and may be in question, when looking at the
homestead records we believe a more accurate date would be 1878 or 1879. I
would be happy for any information on a John See born March 1877-1879.
Thanks in advance for any information someone may have and a Very Happy New
Year to everyone on the list.
