Gary asked: >I am seeking information on my grandfather: Any help is appreciated. Thomas Holt, born September 4, 1904, Jasper, AR. Mothers first or middle name might be Canzada. Died Bakersfield, CA, around 1960's.< Gary: The CA Death Index from 1940 thru 1997 has maiden names in most entries. It is online at: http://userdb.rootsweb.com/ca/death/search.cgi I would suggest that you use it now as it may be taken offline. Legislation is in the works at the moment to close the Ca Birth and Death Records. Regards, Nan [email protected]
