You won’t find California Death Records online, even if you wanted to pay for the records. However, you will find California Death Indexes online for free.

Rootsweb has a free California Death Index from 1940-1997.

Vitalsearch has a free California Death Index from 1905-2000.

Rootsweb has a pre-1905 Death Index Project. There may be some useful infomation here, but it’s very spotty.

    You may not be able to do this online. Go to your city hall and request the records. They should be open to the public.
