Janie, I had an interesting week of research which took me to Madera, Hanford and Fresno. I found DODSON in Madera associated with the CUNNINGHAM and BROWN family. I have lots of cem pictures and names now.... just need to fit them together somehow. I did pick up two definate names and dates of b and d. I was looking at the CA Vitals Online Site and it states to fill out the form and snail mail it. Th e request reply could take up to 20 weeks... 4 months! Do you know of a quicker way to get death certificated in CA? Thank you, Karen in CA
