another facility. The only other way is to contact each of the mortuaries in the
area to see if anyone has information about the facility you are searching
for. That's the only quick way that I know of finding one. I have
discovered that every state is different in how the records of the mortuary are
saved or archived. I have also found that not all mortuaries save the same
type of information. I have hit paydirt with some and received nothing
more than a copy of their form for services
rendered.</STRONG></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

researched. It is true that many mortuaries have been bought out or merged

with in Crescent City was that the records from the mortuary that closed were
not accessible. </STRONG></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>HI ALL:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My unit down with bad motherboard. But the last writer was
correct. Many of the old</DIV>
<DIV>mortuaries records may still be found in the successor. In Grants
Pass and several other</DIV>
<DIV>cities in Minn. we have found them very cooperative and sometimes
allowing one to browse</DIV>
<DIV>thier books, at other times to volunteer when given a list of
names, We got lot of information</DIV>
<DIV>from one where the family member had skipped and not paid the bill.
Knowing where they</DIV>
<DIV>could find him, helped.<BR><BR><BR>-----Original Message----- <BR>From:

<DIV>Trish,</DIV>
<DIV>Have you checked with the mortuaries that are now in existence. Many
times the</DIV>
