Hi, my name is Shauna Williams and I am the host for the state of Oregon Genealogy Trails. Please contact me if

 you have any questions, comments or contributions! Have a great day, look around and enjoy!
 

 
I will be regularly adding information and you can keep checking the Update box below to see what is new since your last visit. Most of the counties need a host of their own, perhaps that is something you might be interested in? Check out the Volunteer Page to find out how to come on board as a new host. From the main Genealogy Trails page you can also join the Pacific Coast States mailing list and check out the pages for many other states! If you don't feel like hosting is for you, please consider sending me your information to include online.  I would love to have it and you never know how helpful it could be for someone else!
