Pioneer Certificates -- what documentation?<BR><BR></DIV></FONT><FONT

FAMILY="SANSSERIF">Barb,<BR><BR>Thanks for the information on the
certificates. Does anyone know what proof is required? I can
come up with some documentation that my GG-grandparents came to Oregon in
the 1850s (DLCs), but so far I've come up with no documentation of my
grandfather's birth. <BR><BR>As far as we can ascertain, my
grandfather, George Alfred Marks, was born October 12, 1874, "in the
Willamette Valley." His parents were James P. Marks and Charity Ann
(Noble) Marks. Charity died in 1875. The Marks and Noble clans
were in transition at that time, moving from Sweet Home area to Prineville
area (Marks Creek). <BR><BR>I can't locate this Marks family on any
censuses. George's father James P. remarried, a Margaret Hedgpeth,
around 1878, and the family moved to Wyoming around 1880, then to
Montana. I can't find them on the 1880 census in either state, I
understand the 1890 census was destroyed, then George's father and
stepmother were dead before the 1900 census. George doesn't show up
there either, and he died in 1906. Hmm, I know he existed!
<BR><BR>Without a birth certificate or family Bible or something proving my
grandfather's parentage, would I be eligible for the Pioneer
Certificate? As far as that goes, there's no birth certificate for my
father. He was born in Rosebud, Montana in 1906 and I guess there was
a fire where certificates were lost. He had a dickens of a time
getting social security as I recall.<BR><BR>What kind of proof do I need to
come up with?<BR><BR>Thanks.<BR><BR>Marilyn
