Charlotte, The office at Mountain View cemetery does have burial records at least as far back as 1908, the year that I was interested in. The book "Oakland, the Story of a City" gives the name of the first person interred in July, 1865 when the cemetery opened so records probably go back to that date. There were two prior locations for the Oakland cemetery prior to 1865 and the bodies were supposed to have been moved each time the cemetery was relocated. The book reports that all the bodies were not moved and were later uncovered when excavations took place for commercial buildings creating a scandal at the time. So records for interments prior to 1865 may or may not exist. Ralph Anderson Boulder, CO rkaboulder@bwn.net
