[or-roots] Oregon birth records

[Suz_ES]

I made a trip to the Oregon State archives friday and got copies of some
death certificates and some marriage certificates.  I wanted to get some
Oregon birth certificates but was told they did not have any.  They also
said that Oregon did not start recording births until 1903 and that there
may also be "delayed" birth records.

Where is the best place to get copies (not official) of birth certificates
for Oregon?  I want to get my parents (1926), grandparents (1890-1905).

Also, the only carry death certs up to 1954.  where can I get death certs
after that?

thanks
