<HTML><HTML>Mara: I have a subscription to VitalSearch which provides the California Death Index 1905-1929 and 1930-1939 online.  If the person of interest died in Santa Clara or a nearby county I can get an informational copy of the death certificate for you.  I would possibly be interested in an exchange for a Los Angeles County record.
