This is the sixth volume of Catholic Church Records of the Pacific Northwest.

After the Rogue River Indian Wars (1855-1856), Indians in the western portion of Oregon were forcibly removed to the Siletz and Grand Ronde Indian reservations. In this volume, we find records of Father Adrian Joseph Croquet's mission labors among the Indians on the Grand Ronde and Siletz reservations.

The registers preserve information on the region's native population. The Catholic records predate, by nearly thirty years, the earliest Indian census schedules prepared by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Father Croquet was interested in the tribal affiliations of his parishioners. Throughout most years of his long ministry at the church of St. Michael the Archangel, he recorded the names of the tribes of the Indians whom he baptized, married, or buried. His records document the survivors of the many different tribes and bands that were removed to the reservations in 1856. To see the names of the various tribes, click here.

The book is $25.00, plus postage. To order a copy of this book, click here.
