Alas, this is not her. I wanted to know about a Minnie Ayers who died in Stanslaus County on 9-6-1976. No one has been able to find an obit for her that I know of. I wrote the County Clerk and they wouldn't give me the maiden name. Why would I want a death certificate for her if she was not the right one? Sure makes it tough to locate people. :) Again, many, many thanks for your assistance; it is truly appreciated. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
