Aldean...........I believe...but am not sure.....that WA State has a DEATH INDEX and if that is the case maybe someone here has access to it. If they do.......will they please let us all know. We have a death index here in CA and it is extremely helpful for finding someone.....One of the gals on our NORCAL (NO. California) mailing lists goes to the CA State Library in Sacramento every Monday......and looks up things for us. Isn't that NICE? I would assume that one of the big libraries in WA.......would have that list....it's not current here in CA.....but it goes back about 7 years. xxxxxxxxo Louise King La Jolla, CA In a message dated 8/21/98 4:03:53 AM, tendick@efn.org wrote: >Hi, > > I am new to this list.
