This collection includes biographical, genealogical and documentary material on the family and ancestry of Norman and Phyllis (Swartz) Lind, who were married 30 Aug 1959 in AuGres, Michigan and later moved to Oregon. It includes correspondence with relatives, personal narratives, vital records, adoption papers, funeral brochures, documents and memorabilia of various kinds. The genealogical material includes many family group records and pedigree charts, especially on Phyllis's Swartz, Sharp, Kauffman, Jantzi and Ramseyer lines, but also on Norman's Lind, Zehr, Jantzi and Boshart lines. The photo album is arranged roughly chronologically beginning with Lind relatives in the 1800s, then Norman's parents and their children, and then follows Norman from his youth to his marriage to Phyllis, to their children and grandchildren. The photos are generally well identified or identifiable, and many are dated.

This is a small collection of diaries and calender date books and other items, including an autograph collection.

Family photographs collected and saved by descendants of Samuel and Barbara Bechtel, most recently George Bechtel (1932-2019). Photographs 39-84 are in an album.
