[or-roots] Death certificate lookups

[Wordsmith]

Greetings, listers,

I may be sorry I'm making this offer :) but I know I'd appreciate it if someone else made it, so here goes.

I will be going to Salem around the 28th and plan on doing death certificate copies for a day or so. I have a hundred or so on my list and I can do lookups for folks with the following limitations:

Maximum two cert lookups per requestor
Need  county of death, exact date of death, and name of decedent, as I won't have time to hunt over a span of time, especially with later death certificates. I live in Jackson County and Salem is about a 210-mile drive for me, so my time is limited.
Please put "death cert" in the subject line

I'm not going to charge anyone for copies and mail because I plan on scanning the copies and e-mailing the scans to people who request them, and I think I can afford 25 cents per page. One of the folks on this list suggested putting 3 certs per 11 x 17 sheet and that brings the cost down to about 8-1/3 cents per certificate. Also, I extract the information from the death certificates and post them to the Oregon Archives at USGenWeb, so it will eventually be available for public viewing. The death certificates I've already done are posted, primarily Jackson County, but other counties as well.
