You are eligible to apply for an Oregon Pioneer Certificate if your ancestors lived in Oregon Territory or Oregon before October 31, 1872. You are eligible to apply for an Early Settler Certificate if your ancestor settled in Oregon between October 31, 1872 and December 31, 1900. Send for an application: O.G.S., P.O.
