Washington County Oregon Cemeteries

 

Visitors who have time and desire to transcribe cemetery, census, land or BMD records for this Project may contact the Coordinator.

All contributors will be credited for their donations.

See the credits page here.

Color Code

Cemeteries highlighted in yellow are under transcription as time permits. Two points to remain alert to:

Many cemeteries have more than one name, so please refer to all names when communicating about one cemetery. Second, we find new unlisted cemeteries pretty often. If you find such a small unlisted cemetery, please let me know so I can add it to the cemetery index page.

Thank you. Admin.

Cemeteries in underlined blue text are completed OR new sections are coming.

Notes in red were added by Judy Goldman:

Cemeteries in black text need to be transcribed. There are many cemeteries in this county, arguably 100 by count. Many are on private property and are not yet known by name or exact location.

We need more transcribers to find unknown cemeteries and help transcribe every cemetery wherever it is found. If you know of a cemetery not listed here, please provide the name and location so it can be added to this index.

Forest View Cemetery was started by Shelley Van Loo, whom now lives outside this area, so we will need more volunteers to finish this transcription.

This cemetery contains about 10,000 graves, oldest found in one corner was 1837 before there was a town here. Transcriptions are posted with photographs. Shelley can use some help finishing the transcription by anyone who lives near Forest Grove Oregon. More help is needed to finish this huge cemetery.
