Union County, Oregon History and Genealogy

Welcome to Union County, Oregon!!  My name is Judy White and I will be your host for this website.  I have a small army of helpers who provide much of the information for these pages.   Janine and other contributors have provided a great base of information, presently all I am doing is taking there great work and putting it into a different form, one that will hopefully make updating the pages and adding new information easier in the future.  For example try our:
