The Obituary Index

Obituaries, funeral programs and death notices often contain invaluable historical information on our ancestors. Well written documentation provides, not only a narrative on the life of a person, but rare names, locations, events, and facts not often discussed by families that lead to clues to enhance genealogical research.

The African American Genealogical Society of Northern California (AAGSNC) maintains a searchable online database of obituaries, funeral programs and death announcements. The database is a donated collection from our members. We have a sizable collection of materials (nearly 1000+) and are continuously adding more. If you wish to add material to the collection please contact us at obits@aagsnc.org, or by telephone at (916) 345-1994.

Below is a decedent name index to our collection. Search the index to identify decedents of interest. Access to our database of materials (PDF format) requires an AAGSNC membership subscription. You are welcome to join AAGSNC to gain access to this members-only benefit.
