[or-roots] Archives - Death/Birth Certificates

[Lyn Horine]

Yes, Denise that is exactly what I found. We found the obit that indicated she lived in north Portland, was in hospital in Vancouver WA where she died but services and burial were in Portland.  I also learned that "46" is the. State code for WA

Does not seem to apply to out of state residents whose remains were brought to OR for burial. 
We learn new things every day!

They may have been buried in Oregon which generated a listing within the death index for certain years.  So far I have been unable to locate a certificate for any of my family that had that situation but that was the explanation I was given by the kind gentlemen at the Oregon State Archives desk.  I recommend you search the death indexes of nearby states to see if they actually died in another state and were buried in Oregon.
