Okay, I am trying to find the death certificate of Gordon Glidden, Died in LA County, (Lancaster) on Nov 9, 1920.  I sort of figured out the chronological order and am scrolling one at a time.  Interesting..   Joe --- On Wed, 2/27/13, M Nickless <unicorn1950@comcast.net> wrote: From: M Nickless <unicorn1950@comcast.net> Subject: Re: [CALOSANG] FamilySearch.org birth and death certs To: calosang@rootsweb.com Date: Wednesday, February 27, 2013, 2:15 PM FamilySearch is definitely an increasingly wonderful resource.      After I wrote my previous note I looked around a bit more and now am in the process of browsing through some San Joaquin Co. (Stockton) certificates in search of my great-grandfather’s death certificate.    They are more or less in chronological order, but so far no luck.    If I knew the certificate number that would certainly help.    Perhaps I can find it in an index.......
