[or-roots] Edith's Father

[Sue Steward]

Edward Duncan in the 1910 Coos County census appears to be her father.  I could not find him in the 1920 census and I couldn't find him in the Oregon Death Index.  IF this is the correct family, he is listed as age 28 in 1910 and shows a birthplace as Arkansas.

If you want to verify his name, you could request a copy of the delayed birth certificate for Edith Alice Duncan from the Oregon State Archives.  I sent an e-mail to the State Archives over the weekend for a death certificate and got a .pdf file of the scanned document today attached to an e-mail and a bill for sending in my payment.  The delayed birth certificate file should include the information submitted to prove the information on the birth certificate so that should have her father's name.  I believe that Les Chapman offered to check about copies in Douglas County when he goes there next.

I believe if you want to know the cost prior to actually ordering it, you can request an e-mail giving you an estimate of the cost of the copies and then place your order after you know the cost.   
reference.archives at state.or.us 

Basic case file request: $10 in-state; $15 out-of-state. This includes up to 10 photocopies, postage and supplies. Additional photocopy pages are charged at 75 cents per page. A Basic Case File Request must provide an exact citation to a record (e.g., a record listed in the Oregon Historical Records Index) in the custody of the State Archives

The other option is to request the Social Security application for Alda Audrey Duncan who it seems is probably her sister who died in California in 1983  California Death Index
Alda Audrey Duncan  573-72-7274
b. 12 Feb 1912
d. 15 Jan 1983
Mother's maiden name:  Rowen
The social security application should show  parents' names.

Good luck!  Sue
