San Joaquin County California Obituaries, 1850-1991

Ancestry, FamilySearch / By GenealogyUpdate

Ancestry has published a “new” database to their collection: California, San Joaquin, County Public Library Obituary Index, covering the years 1850-1991.

While the original images at FamilySearch are completely indexed there, the Ancestry database provides relevant “leafing” for users of FTM and Ancestry’s Online Family Trees. This collection consists of images of index cards …
