[or-roots] Redirection of Big Cat discussion

[Harguess, Dale]

Excellent.  If I get lucky here it will solve a 50 year old mystery of
what happened to the little girl.
Thanks,
Dale

Dale,

The time frame you are looking at would be when the adoptions were
still being printed in the Oregon Session Laws.  Counties were required
to report adoptions and name changes to the Secretary of State and they
were then printed in the biennial report of the Secretary.  They stopped
printing the reports in 1919.  

You could contact the Archives reference staff and request that they
check the volumes for the name you are looking for.  There would be a
fee for doing the look up but it should be fairly minimal as they can
check the volumes rather quickly.  

you can contact them at:

reference.archives at state.or.us

If the name is found in the volumes you could then make a request to
the circuit court in the county where the adoption occurred to access
the actual case file.  Each county handles these request slightly
differently.

You might also want to review our help guide on adoption records at:

Hope this information is helpful

If I can segue into a question that I am hoping someone on the list
can
help me with?  Does anyone know if there were any official adoptions
of
children in the period of 1916 to about 1919?  I am looking for a
sister
of my mother who was most likely put up for adoption when her mother
got
divorced.

Dear list members,

I have been contacted by a few listers that are concerned that the
discussion is getting to be a bit too political and far afield from
genealogy.  I think we can all agree that there are numerous
perspectives on this issue and it has been of concern historically as
well.

Please, let's move on to other topics more closely associated with
family history research.

Thank you all for your lively participation.
