Are You A Descendant of an Oregon Pioneer?

So what qualifies a person to be an "Oregon Pioneer?"

Very simply, it's a Euro-American settler who came to the area, now known as the state of Oregon, before its statehood on February 14, 1859.

It matters not how that person arrived; many came by the Oregon Trail, others came by sea around Cape Horn, while some were fur trappers who followed other land routes.
