Betty Smith m. Ralph Hamblin. They had the following children:

George Washington Hamblin b. 1898
Ralph Waldo Hamblin b. 1899
George and Ralph could be twins.
Betty m. Wayne Bunnell after husband Ralph died a short time after Lois was born.

Dick Bunnell b. 1908
Elbridge Bunnell b. October 12, 1909, d. November 27, 1988, Clackamas County, Oregon, m. Gertie ? (dates and wife from the Oregon Death Index)
Myrtle Sabina Bunnell b. January 9, 1920, d. September 19, 1988, Clackamas County Oregon, m. Benjamin Franklin Butler b. August 24, 1913 d. February 23, 1994, Multnomah County, Oregon (full name and dates from the Oregon Death Index) They had a son, Ben Butler.
Ralph Johnston m. Rosa Baynes. They had the following children:
James Sterling Johnston b. September 6, 1900, Aurora, Nebraska
Allen Johnston b. 1906
Franklin Johnston b. 1908
LaReta Rosa Johnston b. 1909 m. John Cox
Lois Lillian and James Sterling married and had Nadine Lois Johnston b. July 7, 1929, Portland, Oregon.
James, Lois and Nadine all died in Portland, Oregon.
Nadine died a year ago. She had no siblings. She was closest to her Uncle George who passed years ago. She didn't really keep in touch with many of her relatives. She and my husband adopted each other years ago.
We have many family photos, wills, and such that I think should go to blood relatives. Is anyone familiar with any of these families? We are really hoping to return these items to their rightful owners, but if we can't find anyone does anybody have any suggestions on what to do with it?
I am really hoping that someone can help me with this project.
Thank you,
Sherri
