Family History Websites

If you have a website listing your family history, and think it would be useful
to other researchers, why not let the ORGenWeb Project place a link to it here?
Contact Jan Bony
if you're interested. Also, please contact me if a link is NOT working
so it can be removed. Where a web site had a different email address, I tried to
correct it. Updated 12/14/2013 |

Oregon family surnames include Bennette, Bennett, Odell, Gowdy, Garrison, Clark,
Sawyer, Hopper, Roelofson, Kemp, Delashmutt, and Lee. Other surnames include Tuggle,
Helm, Beard, Gates, McCormick, and Maxwell. My earliest Oregon ancestor arrived
