The Oakland Library has an Obit lookup service also. If I remember correctly they charge $2 per lookup and it is best to send a SASE with your request giving the full names and Date of Death. You can check for any updates on this link: <A HREF="http://www.oaklandlibrary.org/Sections/ohr.htm">Oakland History Room of the Oakland Public Library</A> The San Francisco Department of Health asks that people make reservations when coming in to "research" in house. The office is rather crowded and an extra body does hamper their activities. Death Records Department 101 Grove Street, Room 105 San Francisco, CA 94102 (415) 554-2710 May I suggest that you check the online CADI for your people and then just visit the Dept. of Health, order and pickup the certificates. This would only take about a half hour and you are on your way for more fun things to do in San Francisco! <A HREF="http://userdb.rootsweb.com/ca/death/search.cgi"> CA Death Records</A> Have fun on your visit!
