Oregon death records are restricted for 50 years following a person's death, but here are a couple of web pages that might help you. Start with http://www.sos.state.or.us/BlueBook/1999_2000/topic/vital/vital01.htm , which has a link to the Center for Health Statistics, which has death records for the entire state from 1903-present. The Oregon State Archives has uncertified statewide death certificates for 1903-1950. This is a great deal as the cost is only $ .25 per page plus postage, and you can simply email a request to them and send the money after you receive the certificate(s). The URL for this is http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/banners/genealogy.htm Good luck with your hunt. Beth Perry Johnston
