We are indebted to DGS member, Mike Dalton of Portland, Oregon for the contents of this file. Mike has gone the extra mile to extract Daltons from obscure sources, to weave them together and make connections easy to identify. Early Birth records are sparse but wherever possible Mike has included birth dates, places and parents within the death records. Daltons migrated to Oregon from many States, Canada, Scotland, Ireland and England and the records read like mini bios.

There are approximately 475 surname entries in this file. You can click on one of the section links, the "Find on this page..." button, or by using the Edit/Find function of your browser. To make searching easier, all states and countries are printed by their accepted abbreviations, eg. LA. IL, MA, CAN, ENG, IRE, SCOT.  It is the onus of the user to verify the data.
