I am trying to find access to U.P.E.C records for Alameda County California.  Is there a specific website that I can go to?

Lynn, 
Keep checking out all the books for any area; old books, new books. Sometimes the old books will have your guy when he is still single and he lists his  as the beneficiaries then in the new book, he married and they list the wife. So, if you are really lucky you can get the parent names and perhaps the home village in the old book and then the wife in the new book!

Lynn W,

I didn't do the site. Or the work for the UPEC records. The work for the records was done by Kathy Cardoza and Susan Vargas Murphy. They made many trips to Salt Lake City (from California and Washington) and made digital copies of these records from what was microfilmed. It is a complete set of what was microfilmed by FamilySearch back in the day. It probably is NOT a complete set of the UPEC books that are out there. Like many record sets, there may be some missing. So keep that in mind. The thanks goes to Kathy Cardoza and Susan Vargas Murphy for making those trips and to Kathy Cardoza for working and maintaining the Azores GenWeb site. Both ladies are members of this list.

Your are welcome Lynn W……and you know it was our labor of love Cheri!  Kathy and I have had such good times on our trips to SLC……I am sorry I can’t join you this year but we are leaving on a “History Trip” with two grandsons on Monday and won’t be back until we celebrate the Fourth of July in Washington DC!!

It is so good to hear that people are benefitting from our work!

You’re very welcome Lynn. I’m pleased that you are finding those records so useful!

Thank you, as well, Cheri, for the acknowledgment of our work. We were very happy to do it and knew it could be a great resource for others as it was for me, I know. 

Kathy
