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 geneology 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?
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
For death certificates, you find more information about how to order copies for deaths between 1905 – present at this link http://www.cdph.ca.gov/certlic/birthdeathmar/Pages/default.aspx
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.)
