Help Index Oregon Marriage Records
You are cordially invited to an online “wedding” re caption – and index ing party!
On Tuesday, Nov. 30, the Genea logi cal Forum of Oregon is spon sor ing an on line event to index Mult nomah County mar riage records from 1917-1924.
Way back in 1981, the GFO acquired the county’s original mar riage regis ter books for 1885-1924. Over four decades, dedi cated volun teers have indexed the registers to 1916. But we get many requests in the “missing” years, so it’s time to finish the job!
These records have proven to be an in valu able source for Oregon and Southern Wash ing ton re searchers.
For the first time, GFO is trying out our annual volun teer work party as a one-day, inter active event entirely on line. You can join the fun for the whole day or even just an hour. You do not need to be a mem ber, just willing to dedicate a little time to support genealogy. For more infor mation and to RSVP, please visit http://gfo.org/givingtuesday.
