Don't go to Compton area because of gangs and shootings. Protect yourself.

I made a trip to CA in October and everything was shut down on the days I was there. Something about rotating times to be open. I even had trouble with libraries. So, do your homework first. ________________________________ From: Christine Pettit <christine.pettit@roadrunner.com> To: CALOSANG@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, September 8, 2011 7:20:41 PM Subject: [CALOSANG] Original Marriage Records I'm taking a class through the National Genealogical Society. We are being asked to visit a repository to view marriage records. We have to write a report describing the collection that is held there. I believe the closest Los Angeles County repository to where I live now is in Norwalk, but I'd like to go wherever I would have the best chance of viewing marriage records in their original state or wherever they have the best collection. My family is from Compton, Los Angeles, California. My father was born there in 1922 and there were several related families in the area, so this would be an interesting adventure. I'd like to have access to birth and death records too. Can anyone point in the right direction? Any tips? ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to CALOSANG-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to CALOSANG-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
