[or-roots] Richardson in Umatilla

Thank you for that. I did have this as a "possible" -- but wondering why it
would be a 1899 date. Only thing I could think of is that his wife died in
Whitman County in 1898, which could have triggered a probate if there was
property in Umatilla.  Or, the date on the probate is wrong. 

I plan to visit the archives on my visit, so we'll see. I always have a
bunch of death/birth certificates to investigate.  

Much as I'd like to go to eastern Oregon, I don't think that's going to be
on the schedule this trip.

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.
