Hello fellow researchers. I just found my Mother's Uncle on the California Death Records. He is as follows: Edward G. Short b. 10/3/1881 PA d. 5/25/1947 L.A. Co. His mothers maiden name: Luther He was 65 yrs. old, so I hope that I can find a family for him. Anyone researching a SHORT family in the L.A. area? This would be a Catholic family. I have a very good record of this family in PA and all the way back to Ireland. Thank you, Lillian Kathleen Martin
