Hi Candace, Where do you live? The Modesto Bee is on film at the Stanislaus county library - stopping by the Modesto Bee won't work, they will just send you to the library - visit the newspaper desk at the library on 16th & K - you can also order in the Oakdale paper on film and see if an obit was published there....or if out of town, order it on loan thru interlibrary loan with your local library - the film is also at the CA room of the state library in Sacrmento - ask your local reference librarian for details. You also can transcribe the death certificate without purchasing it if you happen to come to town.... Stanislaus county recorder's url: http://www.criis.com/stanislaus/official.htm I do dc transcriptions for those from outside the area but I'm currently working full time and have had to cut back my lookups until summer....if you were going to be in town I could meet you there on my lunch hour and show you how to do it.
