July 24, 2010 we received a call from Matt Loe indicating that he would be in NewPort, Oregon over the week end with his family. He is a Bishop in one of the Delta Wards in Delta, Utah. Actually their were two families traveling together. The other family was Wendy's brother and his family, plus Brandon and his wife, the son and daughter-in-law of Matt and Wendy.
Matt's family had grown so much since we last saw them that they were unreconizable.
After church on Sunday, we drove to Newport and registered in the same motel in which they were staying, We arrived about 5:30 and went to Moos for dinner. Matt and his group were out on an excursion when we arrived, but after dinner we met and became requainted with everone.
The reason I am including this visit to Newport to see Matt and his family in this Blog is that we eventully got onto the subject of family history and the question of how far back does the family know of their ancestors. If any of you who are reading this Blog are related to the Lee's and Loe's, you may be interested in the internet site that Matt referred us to as we visited about that subject. If you'll go to the following address http://genforum.genealogy.com/loe/messages/100.html you'll find some interesting information concerning Willis Loe and Keziah Lee and Benjamin Lee Loe. Abtracts of Wills and estates and other interesting bits of information. Another internet page that Matt referred to http://lewis187.home.mchsi.com/Campbell/Lee-98.htm was the will of Jesse Lee Sr. 1816 along with other interesting facts. The reading of these wills and estates were interesting to me and perhaps they will be to you. In conclusion we had a wonderful visit with the Matt Loe family including their new daughter -in-law, Brandon's new wife.

Dad, wonderful information. You are the best when it comes to geneology!! Love, Shauna
I may not be the best, but its is exciting to learn of the people that we came from. I've recently been in contact with Susan Ficke, a descendant of Michael Bennett. He was my secnd great grandfather or your 3rd. But I learned that he was born in Warsaw, Poland and that his name may have been"Maikil Benyovsky. He was a Polish Jew which we knew, but now we may be able to find a birth record and perhaps the name of his parents. Never a dull day for a genealogist.
Love,
