Email Colleen, State Coordinator     Communities [population in brackets]: Chignik Chignik Lagoon Chignik Lake Egegik Igiugig Iliamna Ivanof Bay Kokhanok Levelock Newhalen Nondalton Pedro Bay Perryville Pilot Point Port Alsworth Port Heiden Ugashik   Yup'ik Eskimos and Athabascan Indians have jointly occupied the area for the past 6,000 years. The late 1800s first brought an influx of non-Native fishermen and cannery operations. A flu epidemic in 1918 was tragic to the Native population. Reindeer were introduced to assist the survivors, but the experiment eventually failed. During World War II Fort Morrow was built at Port Heiden. This Alaskan Peninsula borough was incorporated in April 1989 as a home-rule borough with a manager form of government. A seven-member Assembly acts as the legislative body for the Borough.  Lake and Peninsula Borough is predominately rural and contains seventeen communities, six of which are incorporated as second-class cities. Village or Tribal Councils govern the remaining eleven communities.       Links: Bureau of Land Management Township Locator ALHN Topic Pages - Covers everything from antique letters and archaeology to the wild west Alaska Resources at Rootsweb Cyndi's List - Alaska Localities Alaska Tombstone Project at Rootsweb Interment.net - Cemetery Transcription Library Social Security and Death Index Birth, Death, Marriage, & Divorce Records Alaska State Vital Records Bureau of Vital Statistics Department of Health & Social Services 350 Main Street, Room 114 Juneau, Alaska 99811-0675 Phone: 907-465-3392 Cemetery & Funeral Homes Alaska Cemetery Registrations - USGW Tombstone Transcription Project Obituary & Newspaper Articles Alaska Newspaper Abstracts Lookup Volunteers Genealogy Helplist - Alaska <http://www.helplist.org> Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness - Alaska <http://www.raogk.com>     Mailing Lists: ALHN-AK: ALHN Alaska Genealogy & History - A mailing list for the discussion and sharing of information regarding genealogy and history in Alaska.
