FILES, RAE, REA posted by Patsy Skeels on Friday, April 7, 2000

A repost of a 1998 post on surnames RAE, REA, and FILES. I'm still looking for information on my 2nd-gr-grandfather, William RAE/REA (spelled both ways in records). According to his son's death cert, William was born in Liverpool, England. He shows up in 1875 in Walla Walla, Washington, where he married Sarah Elizabeth FILES on March 31. The marriage listing said that William was "of Umatilla County, Oregon." I know nothing of William's parents, siblings, or any other details of immigration. Any information on REA or RAE families in Umatilla County 1870's or later, would be appreciated. Any information on REAs or RAEs immigration from Liverpool would also be helpful. Thanks,
