This resource uses data from census, death, probate, and other records to help researchers find information and documents about people who lived in Oregon prior to statehood. Volunteers at the Archives have worked on this project for more than five years. The database currently contains over 105,500 entries for individuals who lived in Oregon prior to statehood. Because of limits on available records and documentation, the project can be defined to include people living in Oregon from 1800 to 1860. | This resource uses data from census, death, probate, and other records to help researchers find information and documents about people who lived in Oregon prior to statehood.

== | === Writing and Sharing Your Family History === | ||
Sharing your own family history is valuable for several reasons:<br> | |||
*It helps you see gaps in your own research and raises opportunities to find new information. | |||
*It helps other researchers progress in researching ancestors you share in common. | |||
*It draws other researchers to you who already have information about your family that you do not yet possess. | |||
*It draws together researchers with common interests, sparking collaboration opportunities. For instance, researchers in various localities might choose to do lookups for each other in remote repositories. Your readers may also share photos of your ancestors that you have never seen before.<br> | |||
