-:'''A NEW DATABASE FROM THE STATE ARCHIVES:''' EARLY OREGONIANS DATABASE ADDED.
-:Information from the Oregon Secretary of State Bev Clarno:<br>[https://sos.oregon.gov/archives/Pages/db-early-oregonians.aspx The Early Oregonians Database] includes information from census, death, probate, and other records to document the people who lived in Oregon before statehood. The project includes people living in Oregon from 1800 to 1860. <br><br>Oregon State Archives has a [https://sos.oregon.gov/archives/Pages/default.aspx Website]  which includes entires compiled by examining actual records held by the Archives. The spelling of surnames and other information reflects the original records. There are currently 572,940 entries in the index. Records include births, deaths, marriages, naturalizations, probates, divorce, and many, many, more. Surname and County searches are available.
-:The foundation of information in the database is based on data extracted from the 1850 and 1860 censuses for Oregon. Volunteers have created profiles of individuals that capture information about their parents, spouses, and birth and death information. When possible additional information from records in the Archives holdings and other published sources have been used to provide more complete or accurate information.
-:Various records from the Oregon State Archives such as probate records, death certificates, and marriage records were searched to identify individuals who appeared to meet the criteria. As additional features of the database become functional, researchers will be able to view a list of records associated with a particular individual that are part of the Oregon State Archives holdings and request copies.
-:Despite the fact that large populations of Native Americans lived in the Oregon Country prior to 1840, documentation of those individuals is scant and not readily available. Because of this, Native Americans presented a special challenge. Currently the database includes close to 3,500 individuals of Native American descent. Information on Native Americans that lived into the twentieth century can be problematic as well. Project volunteers are beginning to work on the Indian censuses compiled for the various reservations between 1885 and 1940 with the goal of incorporating more information and individuals in the project over time.
-:Further review and editing will result in additional entries when evidence supports inclusion in the database. If you have documentation<br>you would like to contribute to the Early Oregonians Database, contact the Archives staff at Early.Oregonians@state.or.us A more detailed description of the project and an FAQ are available at http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/eo_overview.html and http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/eo_faqs.html
