[or-roots] Death certificates from the Archives

[Harguess, Dale]

Well, she is buried in the old pioneer cemetery in Portland so I guess that would be the same county where she died.  I contacted the cemetery but they couldn’t give me a date that she was buried because they don’t have records that go back that far.  They also couldn’t tell me if her grave is marked but they do have the plot number.

Dale

P.S. her name was Verna Marie Hardwick and she was my mother’s half sister.

If you know the county, you can find it in the archives, the death certificates are filed by county and if you have any idea about the date of death you should be able to get it, but if you have no idea of the year it would take a lot of Searching, you have an idea in a four year span so it should be relativly easy if you know the county of death.

I research at the archives quite often.

What if all you know is the child's name and where she was buried but
not the actual death date which was sometime between 1915 and 1919?

Dear Rooters,

Just want to remind folks that you can receive copies of death
certificates that are more than 50 years old from the Reference Unit
here at the State Archives.  We have just received the records from 1959
and opened them to researchers as of Monday the 4th.

You can send an email request to the reference desk at:

reference.archives at state.or.us 

Cost for death certificates for in-state resident is $5.00, out-of state
resident is $10.00

Of course you are always welcome to visit in person and make a copy for
.25 cents.

Regards,

Layne Sawyer

Oregon State Archives
