As you will note, the page is broken down into 4 sections. The first section is called  THE SETTLING OF OREGON.  This section contains the history and background of the Oregon Territory  The second section, THE JOURNEY, contains information on preparing for the journey and information on the trail.The third section contains EMIGRANT LISTS and is a compilation of information [including pioneer lists by year of emigration] extracted from a variety of sources. The fourth section is devoted to RESEARCHING THE PIONEERS and provides links to research and historic sites that may be of interest.

If you have a pioneer ancestor that came to the Oregon Territory prior to Feb 14, 1859, you might want to consider joining Sons and Daughters of Oregon Pioneers. It is one way of helping to preserve the Oregon Territory's pioneer history.  To learn more about the trails west and to help with their preservation, visit the Oregon California Trail  Association  website.
