Death Certificates Oregon and Other States

Death Certificates - Oregon and Other States

Death Certificates - Oregon and Other States

Here is a searchable index of Death Certificates - Oregon and Other States.

Over the years the GFO has received through donations many death certificates collected by members, for either their personal research or large projects.  The certificates are mostly from Oregon, with a few from California, the District of Columbia, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, New York, Ohio, Texas, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.  There is a total of 13,157 certificates. 

For each certificate, the person’s name and year of death was indexed.  Children under 18 have the given names of the parents listed when noted.  A woman who was married, divorced, or widowed has the father’s surname included at the end of the “Given Name” column when noted.  The age was given in three instances; 1) there were initials for a given name; 2) there was only a single given name; 3) persons of Chinese or Japanese nationality (the last name listed on the name line was used as the surname).

GFO members may request a copy in GFO MemberSpace > Lookup Request

Non-members may order digital images for $7 per certificate.  When there are attachments indicated, those are included.  Please place orders by completing this form.  

These copies are not certified.

    So, thank all of you [in ORForum] again for your willingness to be there and to offer your help [find the final resting place of my ancestor]! We have a great group of people at GFO!

  • [The 'Access to GFO Resources from Home with Laurel Smith' class] is a great introduction to the resources offered by GFO. I highly recommend this introduction to all new members - it is a great overview.
