Stanislaus, Contra Costa, El Dorado, Fresno, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, San Francisco, Ventura and Yolo counties have recently put some of their vital records online at: www.criis.com These include birth, death, marriage and property records. From Stanislaus county you can order these records online with a credit card. Don't know about the others as I haven't checked them out. The Modesto Bee had an article in today's paper about what was available through Stanislaus county. It may be on their web site: www.Modbee.com Alice Home Page: http://millennium.fortunecity.com/rugrats/531
