Hi again listers, I thought of an alternative to my problem. Is there someone who could go to the county courthouse and get a death certificate for me? I just learned today that I have to take a trip to Mill Valley next week before the mail would get one to me. If I could get burial information, I might have an opportunity to confirm the burial. I'd be happy to pay costs. This would be a great help to me. The deceased is: Alicia Hynes Schliep. She died in Oakland on June 29, 1953. Oh, I hope someone can do this. I do have a feeling of urgency. I've been searching for this person for so long and am so close. Thanks. Kathleen Dewey
