Marriage and death records in Los Angeles County
Volunteer Research Description
Online look-ups for deaths occurring before 1960, for these I can provide a copy of the actual certificate. Look-ups and hand transcriptions of marriages and death certs, for deaths occurring after 1960, at the County Recorder in Norwalk. Some birth records, up to 1930, are available online. If you have a specific birth date, I may be able to find the certificate. Events must have occurred in LA County. Donations for gas mileage to the Recorder's office cheerfully accepted. Sorry, I do NOT do obituary look-ups.

Norma is an amazing researcher and supersonically quick to reply. Extremely professional and knowledgeable, she returned some information that I had been unable to find, AND saved me quite a sum in the process. I am searching for my great uncle's death location and burial info. SSDI lists his "Last Residence" as Los Angeles 90057 (an area with many transients) and Norma found that while this was his last residence that Social Security was aware, Uncle did not die in California. Instead of following the suggestions of Google and Ancestry, etc. and making requests in Los Angeles and paying VitalCheck for information that is not there (no refunds from VC if they come up empty handed) - Norma let me know that he died elsewhere. She also checked some other databases and did not find end of life details. This is not bad news! I am thrilled to have one more bit of scientific evidence about Uncle's life. He may have lived, or just perched in Los Angeles prior to 1970 but he then travelled elsewhere. What a fantastic puzzle to work on. Thank you dear researcher! Thank you all for this wonderful RAOGK platform! I am grateful and excited with this info!
