Jackson County Cemetery Records

     
     
For many years, our RVGS volunteers have been collecting information on the deaths and/or burials that have occurred in Jackson County, Oregon. The information was gathered from mortician records, donation land claims, diaries, death certificates, headstones and obituaries. The information was put on cards for a cemetery card file. The card file currently contains more than 30,000 names. JCGL is making this wonderful resource available to researchers online. Our volunteers are currently transcribing the cards and taking headstone photos. More names and photos will be added to the online database as they are completed.

The Cemetery Card File Data Entry Project and the Cemetery Photography Project are funded in part by the Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.

The online database includes last name, first name, middle names (which may include maiden name), suffix, year of birth (if available), year of death (if available), cemetery (if known), source of the information (if known) and photograph of headstone (if available). Symbols used to identify sources in the cemetery database are: "O" for obituary; "W" for a cemetery walk-through; "D" for death certificate; "S" for sexton's records. There may be more than one source listed for each individual.
