[or-roots] Oregon birth records

[W David Samuelsen]

certs are no long kept at county anymore, not since 1989. All counties 
were ordered to turn over copies of birth certs and records to State 
Health Office. Baker County used to have them up to 1929 available to 
public in the County Library but all had been transferred to Portland.
