Carolyn: I believe that the pre 1905 San Francisco Death Records being transcribed are available at the Department of Health in San Francisco. They have eight Books of records that survived the 1906 earthquake and fire. Six of those books have been filmed by the LDS and the films can be ordered thru them. Film numbers are # 0975830 thru #0975835. The two books that are not on film are, "Book O" - July 1, 1898, to March 16, 1900 and an untitled Book that covers July 1, 1904 to Jan. 31,1905. I have search the LDS films and found one death in my family on them. Im am awaiting the books that have not been filmed to be posted on the site so I may continue my search.
