Harney County has a land area of 10,141 square miles
was formed in 1889 and was named for William
Shelby Harney who was apoointed to the command
of the Department of Oregon of the United
States Army in 1858 and was recalled in 1859,
for his summary seizure of San Juan Island,
from the Brittish. It was formed from the
southern part of Grant County so the area's
history is much older. You may even find
that some of the records you need will still
be in Grant County. More information on General
W.S. Harney may be found at:

This is a collaborate effort so please let
me know if you have any suggestions,links
or information that you feel warrants placement
on this site.
I hope you enjoy your visit here; thanks
for stopping by AND please come again soon! |

amount of US Census transcriptions located
in the USGenWeb Census Project's directories.
There are many wonderful volunteer transcribers
working on various things so please keep
checking back often. This is an ambitious
project and everyone is invited to join!
There are many volunteer opportunities available
from transcribing to becoming a state coordinator.
