<DIV>You can request by e-mail and they will return a digitial copy. The
charge is higher than going to the Archives and copying it yourself but if
getting there is a problem, that works. Perhaps you were thinking of
Eugene in terms of going to the Lane County courthouse. If you request it
by e-mail <A
href="mailto:reference.archives@state.or.us">reference.archives@state.or.us</A>,
I believe you can ask them to give you an estimate in advance (minimum $10 by
e-mail). You will need to give them the case file # and info contained
here.</DIV>

<DIV>The Oregon State Archives have Death certificates up to 1957 I think that
is the year, Available, after that you have to go to the Oregon vital
records.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I do not know where you live and if you can get there to the Archives, I do
have to go down there and hope to in the next couple of weeks, Health problems
hopefully will not hold me up, and will see what I can find for you.</DIV>

<DIV> Thank you Les, Sue and everyone,<BR> I can manage internet genealogy,
but when it comes to "real genealogy research" on foot, in libraries,
courthouses and graveyards, I'm an ignorant newbie. I didn't know
that estate meant the estate papers. That's kind
of exciting!<BR> <BR> My parents have 25 years of real research
done and I'm searching the internet for more information. But
I'm the one doing my husband's research and needing to know how to do the
courthouse stuff. Now I'm working, making it hard to get to
Eugene during the week. I just may need to use <A
href="http://www.raogk.org/">www.raogk.org</A> They've been wonderful in
the past.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your know how and help.<BR> Happy New
Year!<BR> Ronda <BR> <BR> -----Original
