Oregon Genealogical Society has issued Pioneer Certificates for many years to persons proving to be directly descended from a person who was residing in Oregon, or the Oregon Territory, prior to 1872 when the railroad arrived in Oregon.

All applicants have given permission to publish their work in publications to be sold by the Society. Oregon Genealogical Society began publishing this information in 1982.

We are listing here the names of Pioneers and their spouses that have been published to date. Volumes 1 and 2 have one-half to one page of information. Later volumes have multiple pages. If you would like a photocopy of what was published, the cost is $5.00 per Pioneer couple for those in Volumes 1 & 2, or $15.00 for those listed in Volumes 3 and later.

Please mail your request with payment to: Research Committee, Oregon Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 10306, Eugene, Oregon 97401-2306.
