[or-roots] Death certificates from the Archives

[Julie Ross]

For several years I had been looking for a record of my great grandmother.  It was not listed on the archive index with all the other family members and I was very puzzled. So, while at the Archives a few years ago I started looking through the records of Columbia County and I found what I was looking for!   As mentioned, it was not on the index where I looked  because it was written incorrectly on the certificate. A letter was left out of her name.  Her son had signed the certificate and all the other dates matched so I know it was her.  So my suggestion might be to look through each record in the particular county one by one and maybe you will find it. Good luck!

  If the parents belonged to a religion you would be able to search their records and if the records are available that would be a good area to search.  Not all are readily available but the Catholic Church Records are very good if they were Catholic.

  Remember that reporting of deaths to the state was spotty even in the 1915 - 1919 time frame.  If it is not in the Oregon Death Index, there was probably no death certificate filed with the state.  



  If it was a child, there might have been a notice in the newspaper but not necessarily an obituary.  It could be as simple as "The daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Hardwick died yesterday."

  Don't forget the Oregon Death Index which covers the years 1903 - 1998. It is available on Ancestry.com. and also at the Archives. I checked, however, and there were 90 Hardwicks but no Verna or anything close.

What if all you know is the child's name and where she was buried but
not the actual death date which was sometime between 1915 and 1919?

Dear Rooters,

Just want to remind folks that you can receive copies of death
certificates that are more than 50 years old from the Reference Unit
here at the State Archives.  We have just received the records from 1959
and opened them to researchers as of Monday the 4th.

You can send an email request to the reference desk at:

reference.archives at state.or.us 

Cost for death certificates for in-state resident is $5.00, out-of state
resident is $10.00

Of course you are always welcome to visit in person and make a copy for
.25 cents.

Regards,

Layne Sawyer
List Mom
Oregon State Archives
