Can someone please tell me if the death index is to present day or when does it finish. Gloria

David, I am sorry but I don't think that I have found any evidence that Luther lived in Baker CO. He died in 1921 in Newberg, OR at the home of a daughter. My father, Melvill Moffitt, his grandson, was born in Baker CO, however in 1898 near what was Carson, OR as was several of his siblings. My grandfather, Joseph Moffitt was married in Union CO although I think he lived in Baker CO. My great grandparents on my grandmother's side, the Curry family also lived in Baker CO, so it is possible that Luther may have at some time also. I need to do some more research in this area.

Gloria, The Oregon Death Index includes deaths between 1903 and 1998. A few are missing, but it is fairly complete. Dan was right about the Oregon Privacy Act, which only allows access to death certificates to immediate family or a representative of the deceased, at a cost of $15.

I would not assume anything in genealogy research. I don't know anything about Riverview Abbey Mausoleum (same concept as yours in Australia) but I went in on the Google search engine and found numerous listings where the mausoleum is mentioned in newspapers. I found on http://members.aol.com/ginnah/cemetery.html a notice of a person who will do look ups for money. Hope this helps. gasjess@bigpond.com wrote: > Hi > Does anyone know anything about Riverview Abbey Mausoleum > in Portland Oregon. > I believe a mausoleum is a vault which holds family members, > (or thats what it is in Aust), is this the case in US if so would > it be feasible to believe the whole family could be in one spot. > Gloria > Australia > > ==== OREGON Mailing List ==== > Welcome to the OREGON LIST > To Search the OREGON-L or leave the lists use this link to the Oregon-L > web site http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/usa/OR/misc.html > > ============================== > Visit Ancestry.com for a FREE 14-Day Trial and enjoy access to the #1 > Source for Family History Online.

Sure, it's a big place. I live about 3 or 4 miles from it. But it's certainly not the only mausoleum in town. Mausoleums are fairly popular in this country. The advantage is that your buriel place can always be found, and will stay in tact forever. (Outdoor tombstones are only good for about 150 years, but indoors, your marker will last indefinitely. You won't have to worry about your stone being dug up and your buriel place being lost.) But, whole families there? Don't count on it. It's also the most expensive way to be buried. Sometimes, whole families ARE interred there; but most usually, the spots have been purchased over a period of decades, and the families are not all in one place, but scattered throughout the entire mausoleum. Nowdays, a mausoleum is sort of a counter-culture. Most people now are buried by the El Cheapo Funeral Society. They have no grave, no marker, no nothin'. ===== With best wishes, Jim Schira __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Find the one for you at Yahoo!
