Hello, Carol;

Is there any link between this family and the Joseph Bordeaux who died in 1889 and is buried, with his four children, in Union Pioneer Calvary Cemetery in Tumwater?

Hi Carol,
Thanks for sharing the pictures and information about your trip. My wife was born in the same year as Wally Yates and grew up in Bordeaux with your uncle Wally. She knew other members of his family and her parents and Wally’s parents were friends. Her name was Rita Boulden. Although she has Alzheimer’s now and a lot of her memory is gone, she still has vivid memories of Bordeaux. We took a trip down there to see the Mima Mounds and Bordeaux on Wednesday of this week. She remembered that the Bordeaux kids used to ride their bikes up and down the mounds. We could not find much from the road since it is so grown up with trees now so we really enjoyed seeing what you guys found. Thanks again for sharing.

Hello Pete! Thanks for stopping by and correcting the name of the 'crick'. It's always nice when one of the past Bordeaux residents helps me out with details. I didn't live there so I just do the best I can. Carol´s last blog post..Genealogy Central 98366

Great article. The little creek, (which I also pronounce “crick”) is actually Mima Creek.

My grandfather worked at Bordeaux in the late 1930′s. The family lived at Gate, where I still reside.
