[or-roots] Richardson in Umatilla

[Layne G SAWYER]

Pat,

If you do a search on our historical records index you will find an entry for A J Richardson probate 176-16 in Umatilla County.  The date on the file is 1899.  It might be worth a try to see if this is your guy.  Most of the Umatilla probate records have been sent here to Salem, which is not to say you wouldn't find anything at the courthouse, but given the distance you will be traveling thought it would be helpful info for you, if in fact this is the right person.

You could send an email request to the Reference staff at:

archives.reference at state.or.us 

and ask them to check it for you.  If you gave the names of some of the children that were likely to be listed as heirs that would help them determine if this is the correct Richardson.

Good luck in your research.
