Geneology California Los Angeles- How would I get Death Certificate from 1949 for relative?
Question by PhilipJohn: Geneology California Los Angeles- How would I get Death Certificate from 1949 for relative?
My Grandmother died in 1949 in Los Angeles California. I looked on the California and Los Angeles County records website to see if I can order her Death Certificate as part of a Genealogy project but it says 1995 to present deaths only. I went to rootsweb and got her SSN#, but not sure if its correct. Where else can I look?

You will probably have to send a request to the state archives in order to get a copy. Do not rely on rootsweb for accuracy with the social. It’s a great site but I have found alot of mistakes on there.

You have to fill out a form from the County of Los Angeles, Registrar Recorder/County Clerk, have it notarized include fee requested and in about 10 days you will receive it. I didn’t have to have a SSN# when I requested mine. (Sorry I don’t have the exact address.)
This link is to the California Death Index. Enter her first name, her married surname and the death year. The results should give you her date of birth/death, her maiden name and her mother’s maiden name http://vitals.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ca/death/search.cgi
