California death index (Ancestry.com) Name: Joseph B Konopinski Social Security #: 365012096 Sex: MALE Birth Date: 2 Mar 1890 Birthplace: Poland Death Date: 21 Apr 1963 Death Place: Riverside Mother's Maiden Name: Kawczyns Depending on where you have already gone with this, I'd request the SS-5 and the California death record. I'll look a bit more, but not sure where an obit would be published in that area for that time. You could call up the current paper (Press-Enterprise) and ask. IF you know the cemetery (usually avail via death record), you can request the interment record (oral or transcript) which MAY include where obits were published. Best of luck... I'm sure others will toss in their $0.02 :-) Paul KASTANIA48@aol.com wrote: > JOSEPH KONOPINSKI > SSN: 365-01-2096 > Birth: 2 Mar 1890 > Death: Apr 1963 > Last Residence: California (probably San Bernardino Co) > > That is all what I know about him.

I do not know if this will help any but here is the excerpt from the California Death Index: California Death Index, 1940-1997 Name: Joseph B Konopinski Social Security #: 365012096 Sex: MALE Birth Date: 2 Mar 1890 Birthplace: Poland Death Date: 21 Apr 1963 Death Place: Riverside Mother's Maiden Name: Kawczyns It adds his death place (Riverside) and his mother's maiden name. At the website for: Perris Valley Cemetery Perris, Riverside County, California http://www.interment.net/data/us/ca/riverside/perris/perris_k.htm we find: Konopinski, Joseph B., b. 1890, d. 1963, On monument with Sophia Konopinski, Sec/Row 73B Konopinski, Sophia M., b. 1896, d. 1971, On monument with Joseph Konopinski, Sec/Row 73B This was submitted by Cheryl Barnhurst [carabela@aol.com]. Perhaps she might help you, or you could write to the cemetery and ask them about an obituary. Since they usually place one, they might have a copy, or they could give you the name of the undertaker, and he might have a copy. Gene Eugene M.
