Welcome
Benton County has been completely
recreated. The new sites will be found using the buttons to the
left.My name is Martha and will be your resource for all things: Benton County. I do not live in Oregon, but have family connections that make it interesting to my family. I can be contacted via email with questions about resources. I will not do your research for you, but will endeavour to locate obscure resources that could prove fruitful. Please contact me using this link: Martha I wish to thank the Benton Genealogical Society, former County Coordinators and Volunteers for the data they contributed. The Resources are as follows: Cemeteries ~ WPA Project ~ Family Bibles A note about the above directories and links: The comments, links, etc have been left in place for archival purposes. It is unknown at this time if the Benton Genealogical Society will do any more work on the WPA Project.  The Odds & Ends Site will contain those resources that are not easily put into a catagory. There is a lot of interesting information online that will be of value to visiting researchers, please check back on a regular basis. Volunteers for lookups are welcome, if you have a local resource, books, public domain publications or are able to do 'on the ground - or on site' research, please consider volunteering. Contact Martha for further information RAOGK Lookups: Archival Newspapers USGW Archives ~ SOS Archival Records
