I am planning a vacation in July and was wondering where to locate records for Birth in 1912 in Multnomah county. Are they held at the court house, or somewhere else. I also need to know where several other records can be located in Lane County and if they are held at the State Archives in Salem. Specifically I am looking for Marriage and birth records for 1910 and 1912 and possibly any divorce records for about 1915 in Multnomah county. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Liz

If anyone has an 1888 Portland City Directory, would you please check to see if there is a Knute TELIN listed. Any information about him would be great! Thank you. Lynne in rural North Florida

I'm looking for an obit for Nina Bustard-Ellis who died in Portland Feb 8, 1944. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Chris in Iowa

Lynne - There are numerous resources available, most of which you can order into a local family history center. Give us some more details. Do you have a birthdate? Did he die in Oregon -- do you think the family stayed in Portland? Have you located him in any censuses - you've got 1900, 1910, and 1920 to search? Have you checked city directories? They exist for Portland beginning in 1863. And what is the purpose of your search. Are you looking for his descendant, for information about his ancestry, or just info about his life?

Carolyn Graham Re: Would you be a dear and see if there is either a Carl Hosman MOORE or a >Lynn James MOORE in you Troutdale/Corbett pioneer book. Thank you. Carolyn > Nothing on Carl or Lynn Moore, or any Hosmans. However, there is a short bio on Amos James Moore who homesteaded in 1879 who homesteaded in Bridal Veil. He married Martha Jean Bennett in Scappoose (Columbia Co.). Their children were Lenora Lyle, Sara Agusta, Arthur Jay & Homer Ray. The bio was written by H. Ray Moore. If there's any chance this is your Moore, let me know & I'll send the rest. My mother's step-mother was a GRAHAM from the Troutdale area. Dorothy Soquel, California

Sharon Re: Captain Uriah B. Scott. No, he isn't listed in my Pioneer bios. These are settlers of a few mile area around Corbett and along the Columbia River.

I have a copy of a compilation of biographies of pioneers put together in about 1966 by the East Multnomah Pioneer Association. If you have a pioneer family from the Troutdale/Corbett vicinity, I'd be glad to see if their bio is listed. Dorothy Soquel, CA Researching: ROGERS (WILLIAM.

Looking for any information about a company named American Sheet Metalworks which was in Portland in the 1920s and 1930s. It was owned by two men, one of them known as Max Kaiser. It is unknown if Max was his real first name - the family always referred to him as Uncle Max, although he was a distant cousin. Any information greatly appreciated, particularly the full names of the owners. Thanks, Karen P.
