The stories that led to, and followed after, the Oregon Trail…

No doubt like many people, I wondered at times about my family and where we had all come from. Over forty years ago I found myself in the small eastern Oregon town of Canyon City, perusing their modest historical museum. Besides, my interest in family history was an unfolding fascination with Oregon history, and I was soon to learn they were inexplicably intertwined. On that day, I looked up at the portraits of a man and a woman, taken in the late 1800’s, and looking down at the placard beneath them, saw the name Fisk, the same maiden name of my paternal grandmother. I was staring back five generations to my grandparents, who traveled the Oregon Trail in 1852. Since that time, I have continued studying the history of Oregon through the lineages of 7000+ people I have researched, unraveling stories in history, and stories of my family back to the 1500’s.  This website brings those stories out of dusty boxes where they can be shared, and where I might help others discover the stories within their own families.
