Darlene: The person who checked the WA index said "Washington Digital Index" - that was what I asked them to check. I tried many times to get into it on the WA site, but it kept locking up my computer so I asked someone on teh WA list to check and they did. I looked once on Ancestry, but I'm going to recheck this coming week. I agree, Ancestry is not always accurate, and they give you very little information. While my guy's name is Malendeth Alfred Dunn (b.2-20-1881 KS) he was often called Dick and sometimes Calvin. I thought I would put a post on the WA list to see if I could find someone who would check the microfilm or a hard copy list. A person did find an Alfred Dunn on the OR list who died in 1948 in Marion County - I'm working on that one now to try to determine if he is my guy. Thanks.

Elizabeth, I'm afraid I don't know what the "Washington Digital Index" is. The Washington Digital Archives is a work in progress. They have some death, marriage, birth records, but not many counties are included at this time. If the Alfred Dunn in Oregon is not your guy, the next time I go to the State Library, I will check the film there. Let me know.
