The State Archives is only going to have death certificates up to 1960 I believe currently available. They are not listed on the archives website but the delayed birth certificates are listed in the online index so you should be able to determine prior to getting there if you can expect to find them. The OR Death Index would tell you if you could expect to find a death certificate and it includes what county file you should pull. Their files are by year and county and then by numbers. It is most helpful to the staff there if you have a list ready for them and if it is sorted by date for the different record series they will be pulling for you.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Denise Sproed<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>A member of the Association of Professional Genealogists</span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:#1F497D'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>My genealogy related pages are at:<br><a href="http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~merritt/">http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~merritt/</a><br>and <a href="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~merritt/">http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~merritt/</a><br>The latter created using John Cardinal's Second Site</span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:#1F497D'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>User of The Master Genealogist (TMG) <a href="http://www.whollygenes.com/">http://www.whollygenes.com/</a></span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> or-roots-bounces@listsmart.osl.state.or.us [mailto:or-roots-bounces@listsmart.osl.state.or.us] <b>On Behalf Of </b>ViolaRae Kassing<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, July 18, 2011 1:48 PM<br><b>To:</b> 'or-roots mail list'<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [or-roots] need research help<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I will have a long list of persons.
