Hello, Friends... Shirley here, your new list hostess. I am very pleased to
take the reins from John's capable hands, and build on the solid foundation he
has begun. I have 12+ lists on Rootsweb, and have been hosting them the past
few years.

My family has been in Cowlitz County nearly 100 years. They settled at Carrolls,
where my great-great-uncle and his mother ran the hotel on the waterfront (it
burned in 1927). This was many years before Longview was thought up. We
remained at Carrolls until 1965, when my folks and I moved to west Longview. I
was gone from the area 15 years until my return a year ago last June. Oh, it's
sooooo good to be home again!! My roots and my heart are definitely here.

Some folks don't like roll calls but personally I find them great conversation
starters. An added benefit is the possibility of a family connection being
discovered. Having said that, here are the names I'm researching in Cowlitz
County: MAPLES, SMALLEY, UNGER.

Please share your surnames with us!
