Marjorie, they definitely are. In fact, I think the Forum has the index to some of them but I am not sure of the years. A form has to be filed in Oregon with any divorce that eventually gets sent to the State, just like birth and death records.

I am trying to help a young woman in her 40's find out who her real father is. Any suggestions would be really appreciated. I am thinking of Clark, Multnomah, or Clackamas county. Thank you, Marjorie
