Hi Everyone, While doing some online research I stumbled across the Diocese of Monterey's website and wanted to share the info with everyone. For those unfamiliar with the Diocese of Monterey [CA], they are the "keepers of the Californiano History Records [baptism, marriage, and death] for Monterey County, San Luis Obispo County, Santa Cruz County, and San Benito County. The following URL will take you directly to the web page for the Diocese of Monterey Archive: <http://www.dioceseofmonterey.org/ministries/archives.htm> For those who do not live in Monterey, you can now email the archive instead of expensive long distance phone calls ;)) !!!!!! Hope this helps, Anita C. Monterey County

Hi all: I recieved this reply from Colleen Norby, who is off line with computer problems... If you need a CABI/CADI check.. just post a note, and if someone sees a note & it does not get a reply.. email one of those who are always online... Colleen, Sharon, etc.. even Marge (me.. don't have the cd... but can forward your messages to someone who does). The lookup will be done from the cds... will be a bit more time consuming.. but at least no one will be borrowing your identity... sure wish they would borrow my bills... why don't they pay our bills while they are at it? Marge Here's what Colleen wrote: Good suggestion Marge.....as Sharon mentioned, there are a number of us that do own the cds and we did provide lookups prior to rootsweb.com buying the index and placing it on line......so I guess we'll go back to answering those requests on this mailing list - since I'm not subscribed to any of the county lists right now with my computer problem, if anyone is on a county mail list, ask them to share that there are volunteers to help with CABI on the CADI list....I will attempt to change the welcoming message from work this week...
