response is correct in that there was no requirement for
creation of death certificates by the state of Oregon until
1903 . However the City of Portland did pass a local
ordinance in the early 1880's that required the filing of
birth and death certificates. The problem is that the City
of Portland at that time did not include anything east of
the Willamette River. Gradually as the outlying areas, such
as Linnton, St Johns, Albina, etc. were annexed into the
city they were covered by the ordinance but depending on
where in Multnomah County your person resided at the time
they may not have had a death certificate recorded. The
fact that you checked the Oregon Historical Records Index,
which includes all of these early City of Portland records,
and did not find the person listed means that it is very
likely that a certificate was never created. The suggestion
of a death notice or obituary is probably your next
strongest lead.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

How do you find an old death certificate in Oregon?
It may be too old. <br>
The year of death is 1889. I don't know the date. I
am looking for Jane <br>
Anne (Russell) Gray. I know she died that year in
Multnomah county, <br>
because I found her grave. How do I go about looking
for this? I <br>
searched at <a moz-do-not-send="true"

id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418160348809_12120">
http://genealogy.state.or.us/ </a>but found
nothing about her. I <br>
don't live in Oregon.<br>
