it's not that we are ignoring you, we just don't know, and everyone seems to post asking for obits! you have Brentwood, which is considered LA, and Westwood & Hollywood, still LA, but West Hollywood is it's own city    unfortunately we are really bad out here for placing obits.  It could be the price, $350 a couple of years ago, I don't know.  I found this off of Wikipedia on the county :  Los Angeles County also includes two offshore islands, San Clemente Island and Santa Catalina Island. The county is home to 88 incorporated cities and many unincorporated areas. At 4,083 square miles (10,570 km2), it is larger than the combined areas of the states of Rhode Island and Delaware.   and this really cool map on the Neighborhoods of LA county and inside Los Angeles http://maps.latimes.com/neighborhoods/   This website talks about how the map was made and mentions censuses:  http://maps.latimes.com/about/   That being said, if you give me the name of your people, I will see if I can find them on the historic LA times.   If they are not on there, then you will need to figure out the closest library to them and ask.    good luck Julie tustin, calif      From: Linda Holley <ljholley@gmail.com> To: calosang@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 2:23 PM Subject: Re: [CALOSANG] Help finding obits I have asked this same question a few times on this list and have found no one to help me.  I think one problem is the number of papers which covers the area.
