[or-roots] Portland arrest records

[Denise Merritt]

MessageI think that records for Portland would be at the Multnomah County Courthouse and possibly printed in the Oregonian.  The Portland public library has a card file for indexing old Oregonians.  I don't recall the years it covers tho.

The court records for the case tho should be at the courthouse.

  Subject: [or-roots] Portland arrest records


  Does anyone know if there are arrest/jail records for the Portland city jail in 1903. I have the exact date (Nov. 7) and the names of the people involved.

  My great grandfather, William Wolfson was arrested in Portland with a woman, Fanny Ruloff (not his wife) and his 8 year old son. I can't believe they locked the kid up in the jail with his father.

  My great grandmother had him arrested for nonsupport/desertion.

  I found several articles in the Portland papers about this and wanted to see if there is an official record.

  Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

  thanks
  Elaine
