[or-roots] Portland Or Salem?

[Denise Merritt]

I was going to suggest the Oregon Genealogical Forum http://www.gfo.org/ but 
their calendar says they are also closed for Veterans Day.

They are much friendlier to "families" than the OR Historical Library in 
Portland.  I'm guessing the Archives and the State Library in Salem will 
both be closed for Veterans day as will the Multnomah County Library.

I'm afraid the prospect for genealogy is rather poor on Veteran's Day.  Try 
online searches from home or visit some cemeteries  <Grin> .
