I think the designation of 19 and 70 were to help differentiate between COUNTY deaths and deaths that occurred within the CITY limits, but I'm not certain. ----- Original Message ----- From: M Nickless To: calosang@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, December 07, 2012 7:18 PM Subject: Re: [CALOSANG] Some suggestions please I found a map from 1956 showing the old postal zones.

Looking at the list of those codes again and you are correct. Where there are county and city names that are the same (Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and Alameda), there are two different codes. “19” is Los Angeles County; “70” is the City of Los Angeles.
