Donation Land Claims were granted to settlers of the Oregon Territory who arrived prior to 1853 (see Wikipedia). The files contain considerable genealogical data. Originals of these are located in the National Archives in Washington DC. The GFO has copies on microfilm and we will copy the entire claim file for you. Use our index of claim holders to determine the office and claim number.

The cost is $10 for the first ten pages and 50¢ for each additional page. You may request paper copies or a CD. If you'd like paper copies and a CD, please add $1. To determine the cost for your file, please email gforesearch@yahoo.com or phone the GFO at (leave a message for Loretta). We need the index information and your phone or email.
