November 2002

This work is a compilation of the vital records published in several Tulare County newspapers from 1859 to 1899. The primary and overwhelming source for the information is the Visalia Weekly Delta. The records have also been annotated to the public vital records as they exist for births, deaths and marriages; census returns; voter registrations; cemetery records and similar documents. The work consists of 880 pages, completely indexed for every name. While the primary emphasis is on Tulare and Kings County vital records there are entries for many other portions of California and the nation.

The publication is available on cd-rom in MS Word and Acrobat pdf formats. (If you have some other format request we will try to accommodate that as well.) It is being offered by the Sequoia Genealogical Society as a fund raiser for the new library. For a donation of $35.00 or more towards this project you will receive a copy of this unique and valuable publication.
