This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Soli, Solie, Maysenhalder, Ricci, Luther, Galli Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XW.2ADI/669.1.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: The death records are online at VitalSearch, http://www.vitalsearch-ca.com/gen/ca/_vitals/cadeathm.htm They are broken into categories by years. I checked the 1930-1939 deaths and didn't see him. Unfortunately the years from 1905-1939 are scanned images of the death records, so you can only search by last name. If he died before 1939, it will be more difficult to find on this site as you will have to guess at how the person recording the death spelled the surname. And I imagine that surname has been spelled many ways over the years. I only quickly checked the 1940-on death index, and didn't see him. But, this database is searchable many ways so you can almost always find the person you are looking for. If you know where he was born you might try searching by using only the birthplace field, along with a birth year of 185% if that is the right birth range. The symbol, %, is the wildcard on that search engine and comes in very handy when searching as there is often misspellings or a number slightly off. Or, if you had a birth date, you can search on that only as well. Good luck, MeLani
