FYI Any one using the OR State Archives web site http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/ be for warned that if a record shows a 12-31- year, these in most cases are a default date NOT the date your record will be found in. This came about in some of the first stuff to be indexed I was told today. This was something that I ran across in early marriage records today but found other records also showed the erroneous 12-31- year so thought this should be brought to your attention. This makes for a lot of page turning to find your records. If you haven't been on line to this site lately check it out as there are a lot of new records. Some not even the archivist didn't know were there yet, so had a bit of trouble finding some of them. The new county level death records are in big huge hard to handle ledgers I found out today.
