Deschutes county history is older than the county itself as it was formed in 1916 from a portion of Crook County. For that reason some of the records you will be searching for will actually be in Crook County.
Please remember that I don't live in Deschutes county so will be unable to do specific lookups for you.
If you have any information, suggestions or links that you feel warrants placement on these pages please let me know.
Due to the amount of email I receive from various mail lists and other organizations, please remember to
ALWAYS use "Deschutes" as the subject heading of your email to me. That way I can identify it and get to it right away!
Please check back with us often and see the changes!

 In March and April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database Project. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties Kentucky, where collected databases would be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located in the index. At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page. Now the same thing is in the works for many states in the nation
 
 

Please Join our Volunteer Family!!

We are in need of volunteers! If you own or have access to any published resources and would like to look up information for others, please let me know! Also, if anyone would like to volunteer their time to extract genealogical data (ie. census records, marriages, births/deaths, wills or biographies) to be posted to this site, it would be greatly appreciated.
