of these resources for my Mt. Angel/Silverton project!

 

Nice to hear from you.

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF OREGON TRAIL EMIGRANT RESOURCES  

Willamette Valley Genealogical Society and the Oregon State Library have a
long history of working together to provide Oregon citizens with research
support in the area of genealogy and state history. Now WVGS volunteers
Evelyn Gatlin and Sandy Graham have compiled a bibliography of resources,
from the State Library collection, that contain names and personal accounts
of the thousands of emigrants who traveled the Oregon Trail. This resource
will be very helpful to anyone who is researching Oregon history or
genealogy. The bibliography
