Linda, The number "19" you are referring to indicates the county of death. There happens to be 2 numbers for Los Angeles County, although I'm not clear on the "why" of this. The other number for Los Angeles County is "70". Every entry on the death index should contain a number in the column you refer to, indicating the county of death. FYI: If this legend isn't posted somewhere with this database, I would be willing to provide a complete listing and post it to the list. I do have this list (from the State Registrar's office). Just let me know. -Jannette in Colorado ----- Original Message ----- From: <RylFlshd@aol.com> To: <SOCAL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, September 29, 2000 10:51 AM Subject: Re: Death Index Numbering > Hi list- > > I have found 2 of my relatives on the CA Death Index.
