  (See also a href="../history/pioneers.html">Oregon Pioneer for more web sites)
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 the state coordinator 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.
