[or-roots] need research help

[ViolaRae Kassing]

The latest death is 1949 I have my Father’s Death Cert and also my Mother’s and brother’s.

I will now list and arrange things  by year --- county-----name. Correct?

If death records are recent (& thus expensive) you might obtain funeral home records more reasonably and I believe that documentation is also acceptable as supporting documentation.  The State Archives is only going to have death certificates up to 1960 I believe currently available.  They are not listed on the archives website but the delayed birth certificates are listed in the online index so you should be able to determine prior to getting there if you can expect to find them.  The OR Death Index would tell you if you could expect to find a death certificate and it includes what county file you should pull.  Their files are by year and county and then by numbers.  It is most helpful to the staff there if you have a list ready for them and if it is sorted by date for the different record series they will be pulling for you.

I will have a long list of persons.  I have them arranged as to the most important with a place to check which of the certificates I’m able to obtain. I’m hoping the they have some of the PERSI connections.

 

Surnames: (These are in the Pioneer Cemetary of Vale.

STACEYs,  grandparents and great grandparents

GOODRICHs, great grandparents . Then on to Northern California Paskenta area

MARKHAMs, great grandparents. Then on to Northern California Paskenta area, next to Utah.

 

My sister has decided that she wants to join the DAR so I’m having to ‘prove’ the lines, and now they don’t take cemetery markers . . . This is what I get for procrastinating. I’m hoping some of the birth records (my father) wedding dates and death records will be there.  If not then I will have to make a trip to Ontario maybe I could call them?

Viola; have you vetted their online index for things in the collection of interest. If you have a laundry list in hand it makes searching so much easier. The only time I have been able to go there it was a cold call and I had no information with me so had to pull names from memory and only found a couple of items of interest.

I will be in Salem, Or and want to get some genealogy work done.  I would like to obtain birth and death records, possibly some marriage records. The records will be from Malheur County.  They lost much of their courthouse records in the flood of 1950 aprox.  Since the records were supposedly sent to “state” . . .
