OGS is a FamilySearch Affiliate Library
The Oregon Genealogical Society is a FamilySearch Affiliate Library which means you can access online records that are not available from home at our library on one of our patron computers or bring your laptop to the library. Most records with a camera and triangle icon are accessible at the OGS Library but some may only be viewable at a FamilySearch Center or the FamilySearch Library.

1:00 pm Program: Speaking English in the USA – Linda Forrest
Our American ancestors didn’t talk like we do today.
