Kathy; You are correct. In the examples shown by sender, the first number does indeed mean whether death was in years, months, days. And in the 3 deaths listed, the number (1) means the persons were ___ years of age at death. My posted message was wrong about that first number (1) which does indeed mean year in this index. The rest of my reply agrees with yours. The sender of the original question typed error (see below) for information about Adelaide's death which was sent as Adelaide dying 2-1-26. . The death index shows: Adelaide A TOBEY 1 65 70 6-13-12 12 17911 Mary : > Tobey, Adelaide 1-65 70 2-1-26 - 12 17911 > Tobey, Don 1-58 70 4-9-15 -15 1155? couldn't read last number > Metz, Mettie 1-57 70 3-8-22 - 22 -11520 1 = Year , 2 = months 3 =days

I would like to request a DCT and an obituary for MURPHY Madge who was born 8/9/1894 and died 9/26/1984 Los Angeles according to the CDI. Thank you very much. Wanda

Dear Loretta, Funny you should write to the list as I was looking for your email address in my saved emails to THANK YOU for helping me so much with making all of those calls concerning my grandfather, Tony LEWIS. I just this afternoon got the transcriptions from the Superior Court and have gone thru them once and letting that sink in a little before I read it again and then start writing to various lists with what it contains. Without your help I would never have known my own grandfather as I do now after reading some of his own words. One comment he made that you might enjoy.. He was asked during his trial if he had ever tried to commit suicide; "At this point the defendant laughed and said, "No, not me. This is too beautiful a country to do a thing like that. California is a great place, I think a lot of it." I can never repay you Loretta for the kindness you showed in taking the time from your schedule to call over and over sometimes and to more than one office in helping me track down the transcriptions. With all of my heart, Thanks.

Loretta, Do you have anything more like their dates of birth, maiden names, etc? Do you have any other spellings on the first names? Joe Loretta Mikolyski wrote: Hi Listers, Can sks please help me?

Their names are Adele Tobey and Almina Metz These are their married names. I believe they both died in or near Los Angeles. Thank you very much to any and all help.

Thank you to all of you who have helped me out with my questions. You are great! We will be checking into the other funeral directors Deborah mentioned to see if they can get us anywhere. Thanks again, JanaLee Petersen

I want to thank everyone who responded. I guess I'll go ahead and check both, just to be on the safe side... Molly

As far I as I can find, using the normal and pretty reliable switchboard.com, Brown Brothers is no longer in business.

The 19/70 on the Vital Search California Death Index are the County Codes for Los Angeles. If you go to the page and scroll down to the bottom there is a County Code Key Table that tells what the codes are for each county. Took me a while to figure it out when I first began using it. Kathy

please post on list, I'm curious, too :)

Does anyone know what the 19 and the 70 stand for when you do a California Death Index lookup and you give Los Angeles as the death location, it gives you Los Angeles (19) or Los Angeles (70). Just curious, no real demanding need... Molly

When you have time, could you check on: Linda L. Moore, b 1905, Idaho; d 4/12/1972. Los Angeles; do not have maiden name, or any parental info. Molly
