Shaw Island in the San Juan Archipelago of Washington state has been my full-time home for many happy years. I am a life member of the Shaw Island Historical Society and enjoy trying to save some of our historical artifacts. That work includes scanning vital stats, photographs, biographies, and genealogy of the amazing pioneer farmers and mariners who helped found this little community. Thank you to those who help us document the people we are carrying forward with the helpful "Find -a-Grave" site.
