Commercial fishing remains the primary focus in most of these. Logging also played an important role in the economies of Hoonah and Angoon. Both industries have suffered setbacks in recent years, with reduced timber cuts eliminating many logging jobs and low ex-vessel prices impacting fisheries earnings and participation. Klukwan is a Tlingit village located on the Chilkat River near Haines. While commercial fishing continues to be important to the community, subsistence also plays a major role. Tenakee Springs, on Chichagof Island, was once the site of a salmon cannery. Though not formally organized, the Skagway-Hoonah-Angoon Census Area was created in 1992.  Total population at the time of the 2000 census was 3,436.   Links: Township Locator Alaska Resources at Rootsweb Cyndi's List - Alaska Localities 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 Lookup Volunteers Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness - Alaska Forums & Message Boards AlaskaWeb Queries GenForum Alaska Message Board RootsWeb Message Boards - Alaska       Mailing Lists: AKWEB: Alaska Genealogy & History - This is a statewide list intended for the exchange of genealogical, historical and cultural information about the state of Alaska and the ancestors who lived here.
