The monthly meeting of the Genealogical Forum of Oregon is February 14th, at 7:00 pm at 1505 SE Gideon St. in Portland. It is free to the public. In honor of February 14th being Oregon's statehood birthday, Jerry Lenzen is talking about the people who were in Oregon before statehood - the French Canadians. He will be touching on records that were generated pre-terrritorial and pre-statehood: church records, land records, etc. Hope to see you all there.
