Can someone please do a CADI lookup on my maternal grandfather, James Bernard Farley, who died Feb 27 1935 in Huntigton Park, Los Angeles County? He was born Oct 31, 1852 in Ohio, so died at 83 yrs. If there was an obit, which publications should I look in? Many thanks, Boyd Compton, New York City

Can someone tell me if there is still a Fort Stockton Blvd. in San Diego. I'm trying to track down a William Nunan who lived at 2330, when he provided info for my G-Uncle Rev. William P. SACHS's death cert. I've found a DRIVE but not the BOULEVARD. I believe this William was married to Ruth SACHS, William's daughter. Ruth was a sister to Naomi, who was married to Romaine Fielding, a VERY famous (unfortunately mostly forgotten) actor, writer, director, and producer of silent films from about 1911-1925. I'm also interested in learning if the Conrad Lemon Grove Mortuary or Cypress Vie Crematory are still in business. Can anyone help? Thanks! Carl Sachs Manheim PA

I have just received a copy of a great uncles obit that states his his sister lives in El Reno CA. I think this is a typo. I have heard of El Reno OK (and that is near where my great uncle lived) , and Reno Nevada but never El Reno CA. Is there such a place or should I continue looking in El Reno OK?
