  1. I’m looking for a friend that I only have her maiden name – she was married in Oregon – can you tell me how I can find her maiden name or a reputable site who could help me find this information

    1. Ken, that will be exceedingly difficult to find a person based solely on their middle name, the search results will have very low confidence if it’s a common name. We are happy to run an Oregon marriage record search for you if you can provide us with as much information as possible
