Dear List, Can some kind soul please tell me how to secure obits in Southern CA? I have one in 1932 (b. Forest Lawn in Glendale) and one in 1980 (burial place unk). Also, what is the process for getting a CA Death Certificate? What is the address to send my request to and what is the cost? Many thanks. Judy in TX

You will find lots of helpful information about searching for obituaries at this website: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~socalobituaries/ The bottom line is, before you start looking for an obit, you really need a death certificate. The website explains why. There is also a link to the LA County Recorder's office, where you can order a death certificate. The link to the recorder's office is here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~socalobituaries/deathinfo.html Good luck in your search. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, January 25, 2004 12:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: OBITS & DEATH CERTS?
