[or-roots] Breaking out of the winter doldrums

[SAWYER Layne G]

OR-Rooters,

It doesn't seem like we will ever get out of our long grey wet winter.  Keep hoping for sunny and warm.

In the meantime Archives staff have been busy adding 1916 birth certificates to the Oregon Historical Records Index.  So far the data entry has been completed through Malheur County.  I will be adding the records incrementally as each county is completed.  Decided to do it that way so folks could search for them more quickly.  If you have a county and date that you are pretty sure of you could go ahead and request the record from the Reference Staff (archives.reference at state.or.us<mailto:archives.reference at state.or.us>) but otherwise check out what we have indexed on the Oregon Historical Records Index at http://genealogy.state.or.us/ .  We also added a link to a request form from the search results page now to help streamline requests and make sure staff have all the pertinent information to complete the request.

Happy Hunting and for all my fellow skiers enjoy the two feet of fresh powder at Timberline!
