Lyn.. Darn! Just yesterday I was at the Los Angeles County Registrar Recorders looking up death records. Had I known, I could have copied the info on William Shaw and sent it to you. I have ordered death certificates from them dozens of times. It costs $12. Your issue is the postage costs. I could order it for you and scan it and E-mail it to you for nothing. Lets talk.
