The Chula Vista Genealogical Society recently completed the publication of the "Burial Records of Glen Abbey Memorial Park," which is located in Bonita CA, just east of Chula Vista and south of San Diego. It is the largest cemetery south of San Diego in the County. Over 35,000 people were buried here between 1924 and 1999 (deaths since 2000 are not included). The complete work is arranged in alphabetical order by SURNAME and is searchable and printable. This volunteer project took over ten years to complete by our members working with the cemetery people. In paper form, the work is 1,562 pages.
The Society has put these records on a CD-ROM and is selling the CDs in order to recoup our costs. This CVGS web page provides more details.
There is an Early Bird Special for orders before October 1, 2006: the price before October 1 is $14.95 plus $4.95 shipping and handling (a total of $19.90), plus $1.15 sales tax if you are a California resident (for a total of $21.05). For orders after October 1, the cost is $19.95 plus $4.95 shipping and handling (a total of $24.90) plus $1.55 sales tax if you are a California resident (for a total of $26.40).
You can order the CD by sending a check or money order in the appropriate amount to Chula Vista Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 3024, Chula Vista CA 91909-3024. Please state how many CD's you wish to buy and provide your name and address. For more information, please call the CVGS President, John Finch, at 619-990-0127. A one page flyer is available from Randy Seaver via email at rjseaver(at)cox.net.
CVGS is not done...we have started the Burial Records of La Vista Cemetery in National City, the next largest cemetery south of San Diego.
