[or-roots] Oregon Death Index & Marriage Index

[Sue Steward]

You're right, there are still holes in it.  Also on the 1906-1920 there 
is still no link between the bridge and groom, you can pull up the 
groom's name but unless you know the bride's name and search for that 
you are out of luck if you are trying to find a maiden name, etc. of the 
bride.
