    Larry and Keith, just a heads up in case you weren’t aware, regarding your link to the California death records database. When searching for a name, you have to have every letter exactly as it has been typed into the database. If there is a middle initial for example, it has to be as typed as it is recorded, otherwise you will get a message of no record found. An ancestor named Lorene was a “no record found” until I tried “Lorine”. Whoever typed the original death certificate misspelled her name, and thus it’s listed on the database that way.
    Keep up the good work, your column gets better each day.
