Deborah, Can you please help me? I need a DCT for the following person and if the DC gives an occupation it would really help me. I think his mother would have been Nellie or Elizabeth Davis. I don't know if he was married. Bob Trapp >>Bob The following information is from the California Death Index. Surname: Barnett Given Name: Robert Middle Name: Archer Sex: Male Birth Date: October 31, 1887 Death Date: January 9, 1957 Birth Place: Kansas Death Place: Los Angeles Social Security Number: 563104129 Mother's Maiden Name: Davis Father's Surname: Barnett You might be able to find out more information from his obituary. If he truly won an oscar I would assume that his obituary would have been in the newspaper. What I would do is ask Deborah Story on the CALOSANG-L to get a Death Certificate Transcription for you. This will tell you exactly where he died and where he lived. That way you can locate the newspaper easier that his obituary would have appeared in. Good Luck, Deborah<<
