This First Families section is for ancestors that lived in Chelan County prior to 1924. If you have ancestors that you would like to have listed here, all you need to do is send me the information in a .rtf, .txt, .doc, .html format. (Usually Family Tree Maker and other similar programs use .rtf files.)
If you have a personal genealogy web site of your Chelan County ancestors, let me know and I will add a link on "Personal Genealogy Sites" so that others may visit. You MUST let us know that you are sending a file prior to sending it. We do not open attachments from unknown sources.
If you see a picture that is very small, it is a "thumbnail" picture. Click on the picture for a larger view.
Use these family pages as a springboard for your research. We have made no attempts to verify the accuracy of the information submitted. If you find what you believe to be errors, please contact the submitter.
Please do NOT submit any information on living people as we will not publish names of living people, even if the information listed says "Private". We use 1924 as the cut-off year for births.
The following information was copied from the previous Chelan County WAGenWeb site, source unknown. Did you know that you can obtain a ‘Pioneer Certificate’

Index is available online.
