How do I find a death record?

I never knew my real father. My mother refuses to talk about it. I do know his name and that he lived and died in California. I want to know how do i find his death record. I went to the government website and got really confused. I just want to know if that’s where he died. How do I get Information?

Find out what region of CA your dad died and then go to the probate court for that region.

    If you can come up with the county he lived in it is real easy.
    You contact the medical examiner’s or coroner’s office in that county and/or the clerk of the county
    You can get a death certificate from the clerk. If the death was not of natural causes or not witnessed medically or from any form of violence you can get a report from the ME/coroner.

    You can search the death records of the social security adminstration if you know the approximate year or his birth date. That listing will tell you where he lived, by city, when he was reprted dead to them.

    If you know what county he died in. You go the the county court house, Ask were the death certificates are kept. Were i live that is in the basement, Across the hall from marrage license and down from birth certificates. And kept on micro film. To have them do the search for you they charge a fee, And all so for a copy,more for a certified copy.
