LONG BEACH VITAL RECORDS 
Births and Deaths

Digitized images of Long Beach, California, birth and death certificates are online in the FamilySearch® “California, County Birth and Death Records, 1800-1994” database.


If your Long Beach ancestor’s birth or death occurred in one of the years covered by this database: births 1916-1930 and deaths 1904-1939 and 1958-1960, search for a certificate by browsing through the images at
https://familysearch.org/search/image/index#uri=https%3A%2F%2Ffamilysearch.org%2Frecapi%2Fsord%2Fwaypoint%2FSJ58-DP8%3A285173401%3Fcc%3D2001287. 
Your search should include at least 100 images on either side of the first correct date that you find, because not all certificates were submitted promptly. For example, you can see on the death certificate pictured above that Steven Combs died on January 3rd, but his vital record was not filed until January 15th.

RESEARCH TIP: Birth and death certificates may be ordered for a fee from the California Department of Public Health; but, if you need only an “informational” copy, use the FREE database at FamilySearch®.

    This is really sad to know that there have no vital records about the death year of the Steven Combs. I cannot believe that people do not find that records yet. What are they really working for unless they cannot just find such records?
