>From the Ca Death Index: HEBBRON EUGENIA B 01/11/1899 2 bp CA died San Mateo county 05/18/1977 ss550883012 age 78 The location of death listed above is the COUNTY of death. To determine the CITY of death you will need to order the death certificate or find a volunteer to transcribe the information at the county recorder's office. Here's the info site for CA vital records: http://vitalrec.com/ca.html Make sure you visit the link for the county of death listed - quite often it's much faster to deal with the county for a copy of the death certificate than it is with the state. If you do order from the state, fax your order. It's the fastest way to get the certificate and you can order up to 5 certificates for the $7.00 credit card surcharge. PLEASE check out the SSDI if a soc. sec. number appears in the death listing above http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi If you find a social security number listed that matches, PLEASE use the Post-em feature in the right column to share the information from the CADI so others may have access to the data also. You can leave any other information at this site and maybe someone will contact you. (The password is something you create so no one can edit your entry) If you need clarification on any point, please include the previous message in your response.

Hi Jennifer, Did a search of the new CA birth index. Chase is exactly 3 days younger than my son who turned 18 in March. He's probably a senior in high school and getting reading for graduation. Mine has his license and has already been solicited by the army and navy so I guess it's okay to share his listing from the birth index since he is considered of age for everything except alcohol consumption.

Posted on: Monterey County Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ca/Monterey?read=280 Surname: berry ------------------------- Hello, interested to read your information of berry. My mothers maiden name is berry and they all come from edinburgh, scotland should anyone require information from a scottish angle.

Hello Mary -- You can request birth & death info from volunteers in California by sending a request to mailto:CA-DEATH-INDEX-D-request@rootsweb.com & put the word SUBSCRIBE in the body of the msg (leave subject blank). The CADI is the CAlifornia Death Index & the CABI is the CAlifornia Birth Index. The single list, just mentioned, covers both. These indices both begin in 1905 & go to present. From 1905 to 1939 the records are bound in books (I believe) but from 1940 on the info in on microfiche &, now, on CDs (VERY expensive -- $10 per year!). There is also a way to search online but you have to do it each year. That address is http://amaty.simplenet.com/gen/ca/ca_.htm & you then choose whether you wish birth or death records & follow the prompts. The volunteers I mentioned either search at their local libraries or some have the CDs at home. You can also request a copy of obits. They are a wealth of knowledge & have assisted me numerous times. Each time with marvelous info above & beyond what I had hoped for! For info regarding Historical Societies in California, go to http://cyndislist.com/ca.htm . This is the page on Cyndi's List for California. Near the bottom of the website there will be a large "box" with links to each county. Choose whichever county you desire & the website should then tell you what Historical Societies are available for that area. If email addresses are avail, they will be listed as well as the "snail mail" & physical addresses. Oh, to determine what county a certain city is in go to http://resources.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/townco.cgi & put in the city & 2-digit postal state code. Hope this has helped. Good luck in your research!

Karen: I can do a death certificate transcription and look for an obit for Blaine Byal for you. I will try to get to this next week, but please be patient. I am backed up with lookups. Since I don't know where in the County he died, I will have to check the death certificate first, and I may not get to the Recorder's Office until late in the week.

Good day from a brand new subscriber. I have been tracking a Johnson family from Hollister to Pacific Grove to Lompoc. William Johnson died in Pacific Grove 5 October 1928. His wife Delia J. died either in Hollister or Pacific Grove in 1898. Both were buried in Hollister. My question, what newspaper would have carried the obituary or obituaries if Delia died there also. Is there a local genealogy society that would look up this obituary for a donation? Thank you all.
