Thanks for putting this on Kathy, I was going to do it and forgot!! While helping my friend yesterday looking for the Focha, we found him on Ancestry! I looked at the document and said, “those are the UPEC Death Registers!” I was shocked. It really is a great resource for everyone.
Rosemarie From: Kathy Cardoza Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2014 6:46 AM To: Azores Google Group Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] UPEC Death Claims Registers on Ancestry I just discovered something you all may or may not know and I wanted to pass it along……. The UPEC (Portuguese Union of California) Death Claims Registers are on Ancestry! If you search for them in the Card Catalog, you will NOT find them. They are included in another source: California, Death and Burial Records from Select Counties, 1873-1987 Part of the notes on this source say: This collection includes a variety of records from the counties of Butte, Colusa, El Dorado, Fresno, Santa Clara, Stanislaus, Sutter, and Yolo, as well as the Portuguese Union of California. Included you’ll find: a.. death certificates, returns, and registers b.. burial permits c.. indexes to death records and obituaries d.. death benefit claim registers (Portuguese Union of California) These Death Claims Registers do include Alameda County. I have found 3 of my great grandfathers who died in Alameda County! So, enjoy! Good luck and happy hunting!
