Howard Thomas James, Ashland OR 1896
Hi,
I've posted on the Jackson, County, Oregon, message board already, but this forum suggested I might try my post here.
My grandfather, Howard Thomas James, was supposedly born in Ashland, Jackson County, Oregon, on 12/23/1896.I've already been informed by another Oregon researcher that Oregon didn't require birth recording prior to 1903.
If there's anyone out there who can help me out by looking in old newspapers or some other archival sources, I would really appreciate it.I have no info on his parents names or where they were from, and this is the info I really need to take my research to the next level.I have seen inconsistent data on Census records.I have already exhausted research at ancestry.com.
I would be willing to do lookups in exchange in the northern VA area or even the National Archives in Washington, D.C.If you charge fees, please e-mail me to discuss.
Thank you,
Joan (James) Cain
