The latest update to the SMCGS Obituary Index has been uploaded to the website. It includes the San Mateo county obituaries from the San Francisco Examiner from 1906 into the 1950s. Those were the obituaries donated to SMCGS by the Colma Historical Association. Those of you wondering about the obituaries for individuals who were not connected to San Mateo County, will be happy to know that the San Francisco group of CGS collected the remains of the papers when we were done and have them stored while they contemplate their future.Also new in the index are obituaries from the San Mateo Times from the 1920s. Unlike most of the entries in our index, these obits are not in our digital collections, but they are available on Ancestry.
The index now includes over 76,000 names of individuals who either died in or were connected in some way to San Mateo County.
You can access it here.
Also be sure to check the Obituary Daily Times Index for San Mateo County. The societies digital collections include obituaries from the San Mateo County newspapers indexed there.
The first page of the index gives information on the collections and names the many volunteers that have contributed to the index over the years.
