[or-roots] Coos County birth docs

[Cheryl Fitzsimons]

I use the State Archives to get copies of death certificates.  Death 
certificates are sealed for 50 years -- 1903 to 1953 are available to us.  I 
believe birth certificates are sealed for 100 years.  There is probably more 
information on the time periods at the State Archives site.  You might have 
to pay the $$$ to get copies from the county or wait a long time.

The State Archives charges 25 cents per copy.
