Ron's tip for April goes into obtaining coronor's inquest reports from the SF library by giving "them the name and date-of-death (of the deceased)." But an interesting tip from Julia Christy from July 2004 indicated a coronor's inquest could cause a Death Index omission during the 1905-1915 period because no death certificate was issued. I have a few relatives that likely died during this time. So no date of death, no hint of the year beyond disappearing from the city directory. Does anyone know to what extent the library will look? Is there an index that's available for public use and viewing? Combining Ron's and Julia's tips suggest that death certificates may not have been issued for a very few up to somewhat less than two-thirds of deaths.
