Biography

Relationship
William Dunlap is a member of the Crawford Name Study Project.

Born in Portland Oregon, I was discharged from the hospital to the back seat of a 1949 Studebaker that was in the process of moving the family from Portland to Burien Washington(Seattle). Many weekends and the Holidays were spent with my grandparents and family in the Coulee Dam area, which I have considered my home town. In 1970 an enlistment in the Army took me to Virginia, Vietnam, and Kentucky. At the end of 1973 I returned to Washington State and obtained a job with Robertson Aircraft Corp.(STOL). Having hobbies with amateur radio and Hang gliding, I built my first computer in 1975. With the downturn in general aviation Robertson entered the Ultralight industry and after we had gotten kits for the B1RD into production I left the company to sell and assemble the kits in the Spokane area. To help with the needs of the family I took a part-time job as a lab instructor with Directions Unlimited. The first day the job turned into a full time job due to the loss of another instructor. Directions Unlimited was acquired by Miller Institute and then by ITT Technical Institute. I had never envisioned myself as an instructor but all of my previous job experiences with the Army and then Robertson Aircraft had been to learn the job, document the job, and then train others to do the job. In 1990 I went to work for KIMA Tv in Yakima which I latter realized was the first television station I had watched in 1954 when staying with my grandparents near Priest Rapids Dam. As assistant to the Chief Engineer and the Director of Computer Operations I stayed at KIMA until 2007 when I took the Chief Engineer position at KLEW Tv in Lewiston Idaho until retirement in 2015. While living in Yakima I was researching the history of our house (built in 1906) and discovered that my GGgrandfather John Alexander Dunlap, an Oregon pioneer of 1847 was a member of the First Oregon Territorial Legislature. Something my father was unaware of. I also found that another GGrandfather P.V. Crawford was the founder of Crawfordsville Oregon and wrote a journal that is one of the most quoted in Oregon rest stops, etc. along the Oregon trail. Obviously I was hooked on Genealogy at that point. Realizing in 2005 that the 100 anniversary of the "Last Grand Round Up" in Eastern Washington was near, of which my Grandfather William P. Dunlap was a participant, I started checking if anyone was aware and doing anything. Not finding anything planned we started planting seeds, and working with community leaders in Wilson Creek, Ephrata, and Soap Lake and with further help by cousin Colleen Long we had the celebration on April 22 2006. [1] So far we have a pretty good idea of the immediate families back to colonial times, now to bring in the cousins etc.

William, I can,t tell where our Dunlap lines merge but I am the 87 year old 4th great granddaughter of Capt. George Dunlap who married Nancy Craighead in the Warhaw Gardens area on the N.C./SC line. I spent childhood summers in Cedar Hill, NC with my grandmother in the James A. Dunlap house. There are lots of Dunlaps in that area still living on original land grant property from the Revolution. There are Dunlap graves,including Benjamin Ingram, at the Concord Meth. Church near Ansonville. Also there are several Dunlaps buried at the old Waxhaw cemetery from the Rev. period. I have 3 great grandparents descended from the Dunlaps in Ayrshire,Scotland. Alice Dunlap Gibson Williams

Hi William, it's been a couple of weeks since asking if you wished to remain in the US Civil War Between the States Project. I'd appreciate you letting me know by the end of February if you desire to remain in the Project. If I haven't heard from you by then, I'll assume you no longer wish to participate. I hope to hear from you soon, thank you.

Hi William!

It's time for our annual Scotland Project check-in!

This year we are hoping to learn what our membership would like to accomplish over the next 12 months. In case you aren't aware, this year is WikiTree's ""Year of Connections"" and the Project's leadership would like to contribute to this in as many ways as possible.

We would appreciate it if you would share your thoughts and ideas with us on how we can accomplish this goal. We would also appreciate it if you would provide some feedback on our existing goals, including:

  • If you have not yet signed up to help on one of the project's teams, which team(s) would you be interested in joining?
  • How often should we provide a Project Newsletter?
  • Have you participated in the Tartan Trail? If not, is this something you'd be interested in doing?
  • Do you have a question(s) that we could add to a Frequently Asked Questions page?
  • Any suggestions or ideas you have on ways to improve the Scotland Project in general

We continue to communicate with our Project members via Google Group (official) and Discord (unofficial), as well as G2G. You may also reach out to any of the Project leaders via WikiTree's internal messaging system at any time.

Thank you for all you do to help the Scotland Project become a knowledge hub for Scottish genealogical research! We wish you all the best in 2022!

Hello

It’s time for a Project check-in!

Scotland Project Leaders check in with you at least once a year to see how you are doing. With the changes happening around the world, we understand that life is hectic right now.

What are you planning to work on for the Scotland Project this year? Are you happy with the team(s) you part of, or would you like to make some changes?

This time round, we’re also looking for feedback on the use of Google Group and Discord. Do you use one or both of these? If you don’t use either of them, what is the best way to ensure you receive Project communications? If you would like to join us on Google Group or Discord, let us know in your response.

Hi, Bill. Thanks for your comment on the profile of Richard Chism Finley (Finley-2095). I, too am descended from Oregon pioneers. I have a large collection on the history of Brownsville, Linn County, Oregon. I am thinking of a One Place Study but the whole setup is daunting to me. In any case, I am happy sharing notes with you.

Hi William

Just checking in to see if you are ok :)

It has been 3 weeks since I posted a message on your profile and I have not had any feedback from you.

If I don't hear from you by the weekend, I will presume you no longer wish to be involved in the England Project.

I will then go ahead and remove you from the project and remove the badge.

Hope to hear from you soon :)

Thanks,

Hi William,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within the projects which coordinate them is essential.

It looks like you have pre-1700 ancestors in England, Ireland, and Germany. Please use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your current research focus. Review the project page for any special guidelines regarding that time period and to learn how to collaborate with the project members.

Can't find what you're looking for? Let me know, and I can make some suggestions! :-)

How's everything going?

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.

Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.

If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.

Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.
