Subject: [CASCLARA] Unknown Date of Death
Date: Tue, 14 Dec 1999 17:42:40 -0800


Hi Perrin,
I hope you're doing just fine and I see you're as busy as ever.

I have a question I hope you might be able to answer. My great aunt lived in
San Jose and probably died there. However, I do not know the date and I expect it
was prior to 1935 (and therefore SSDI will not be of any help).

Question. Is there any way I can find information about her life, death,
etc.? I know when and where she was born. I know she was married at least
twice. I know she lived in San Jose as late as 1914.

Thank you very much for any help you might be able to give.

Sincerely,

Raymond Tompkins
