The Lewis & Clark Corps Of Discovery Descendant Project
To honor the permanent members of the Lewis & Clark Corps of Discovery that
completed the trip to the Pacific Ocean, the Clatsop County Oregon, and the
Pacific County Washington Genealogical Societies are offering a "Corps of
Discovery Descendant Certificate" to any person that can document they are a
direct or collateral descendant to any permanent member of the 1804 - 1806
expedition.
The confirmed genealogical data accepted will be stored permanently in the
genealogy archives of The Lewis & Clark Trail Heritage Foundation Inc.
Library in Great Falls, Montana. A book will be published by the Clatsop and
Pacific County Genealogical Societies and will be available for purchase
after May 22, 2004, the 200th anniversary of the official start of the
Expedition. The book will include all of the accepted genealogical data, a
copy of the certificate artwork, and other accepted items. Our societies are
non-profit and all proceeds from our project will be returned to our
communities to further the advancement of genealogy in our respective area's
A $3.00 fee is required for each certificate issued, this cost covers
shipping and handling. We are also planning a reunion for all confirmed
descendants at Historic Fort Clatsop, Astoria, Oregon in 2006..
Please check our website at http://www.pacifier.com/~karenl for accepted
roster member names, rules, downloadable forms, and project address.
Questions concerning project may be sent to shargrov@pacifier.com
