Some of them are indexed here as all of the records have been indexed that are located now at the Oregon State Archives. Some of the folks died after 1954 so you can't get access yet to their info but the other place is to check the death index for your possible folks, then to get the death certificates from the archives 1903-1954 are available for the cost of a photo copy, and you get to hold the real thing while you do it yourself, such a deal. Photo copies are 25¢ the last I was down. On the folks you find on the above web site you can ask to see the hospital books on and photo copy the info from them. They list the person's name, when they were admitted, why, how long they had been there and what they died of and sometimes a few other things. like where they were buried as not all were cremated. Not all were buried, dug up, cremated and placed in the cans which went into a vault, that leaked water onto them, and then were removed and put in the store room. So any one that thinks they have family there PLEASE look into it right away and see about picking them up and having them placed with your family. I know of a couple of people that are now in the process of doing just that. Lets give them a proper resting place and the proper recognition that they are due. Please remember not all of these folks were insane, a lot of them died of TB, and other things. Many that were sent there were very old and had no family, no homes and were senile not insane. At least one case that I am aware of the husband wanted to get rid of his wife so he had her committed even though she was perfectly healthy, she ended up working in the wards and died there. That is one reason that now days it is so hard to commit someone that truly is insane and truly needs help. Go and see who you can find. Janice M.

Is there an online index for Riverview Cemetery and Greenwood Cemetery, both on Taylor's Ferry Rd? Thanks, Carole

I don't know if an on-line index exists, but I do know that not all the containers are identifiable. I have tried to obtain the cremains of my grandmother, and even though I had the container number and the vault where originally interred, her remains could not be located. If there is an index, maybe I can try again. Ben Tabler USN (ret)

You could call the writer of the recent stories about the cremains. However, the articles do say that most of the names on the containers are illegible.

Hi all, Does anyone know if there is an index somewhere to all those cremanes that are at the State Hospital in Salem? There was another story about them in the Oregonian Friday and they are going to have meetings on what to do with all these old containers soon. It seems to me that somebody mentioned quite some time ago that there was an on-line index somewhere for all those people but I can't find it. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe you have to go there or call them to have them look in their index? Thanks, Nathan

Hi Janice, Wowee! Thanks for telling me about this wonderful site! This is great. Now I do not have to go over there and pester Susie everytime I find another old time ancestor buried in one of the Pioneer cemeteries. I am sure Susie will be able to get a lot more done now without me pestering her. :-] Nice job on the site. Nathan --- "Janice M.

Best of all is Heritage Quest is affordable to all of us in the Portland metro area Heritage Quest, thru Godfrey Memorial Library, is also affordable to most of us - and has other features, too, for which there is no additional charge. $35 per year is a bargain and I get much more value than that out of it. I also find it user friendly and, in most cases, easier to read. Daraleen

Peggy, that is what I meant, but then again, I just forwarded the message to [email protected] I can open it the next time I'm at the Forum, and copy and paste them to the browser there. So, to enlarge this, why don't you all email your favorite genealogy links to: [email protected] We can copy and paste them into the browser at thew Forum, and we'll have a head start on good sources for the people that are new to the Internet!

Also you will find the Heritage Quest web site a whole heck of a lot easier to read and use. I believe the buz word here is user friendly.

Susie sent this to me this afternoon. They have done a great job with the web site and now that the records are on line wanted to share the how to get in with every one. I tried to send it as a forward right off but it never came back to me so I guess ORFORUM doesn't allow forwarded mail; so if you by chance you get this twice I am sorry but wanted to be sure this got out to everyone.

Try again in a few months. You might be surprised. I have been. Ancestry does not tell us when they have completed downloading all pages in any particular state or county in any particular census year. I suppose that partial indexes are better than waiting until the entire state has been completed. I do wish they would somehow warn us.

I had another experience. A family I knew I had seen before, the old fashioned way, did not appear on either the Ancestry or HQ indexes. I borrowed the microfilm and read the entire county, and found them again. It was in a very poorly filmed few pages, and I checked other names from these pages on the two indexes - and they were not there, either. Apparently indexers had simply skipped a few pages.

Hi, I have found this to be true for all over the US and not just OR. The people who transcribed the censuses were not the same people for Ancestry.com as they were for Heritage Quest. I have found that some names were not spelled the same in one index by one transcriber as they were in another index by some other transcriber. The missing people in the index you are referring to are more then likely in the other index but not spelled the right, or same way. I suppose it is possible that some were indeed just plain missed by someone who was in a hurry or something transcribing the census?

In 2 cases in the last week, I have NOT found people in the Ancestry census index for Oregon but DID find them at Heritage Quest without a problem. The last was the 1920 census for Linn Co. Have others had this problem? Just a warning to others. Check both. Clyde Senger
