Bio of the Surname Database In 2007, uder the presidency of Jamie Daniel, the canvassing of Desert Lawn Memorial Park was started. In 2008, under the presidency of Gena Ortega, the indexing of birth, marriage and death records reported in the Yucaipa-Calimesa News Mirror was added as an additional project. In 2009, under the presidency of Earl Giddings, an enormous data-base was created to combine all of the previous efforts and includes thousands of photographs of tombstones to be entered on, not only the Society records but also on Find A Grave. In 2010, under the presidency of Floyd Ferguson, we added information on three other local cemeteries; Stewart Sunnyslope, San Gorgonio and Mountain View Since many tombstones provided only the year of birth and death, Earl Giddings undertook the project to locate additional information from the Social Security Death Index, California Death Index, California Birth Index, California Marriage Index and our YVGS data-base. We are aware that some of the CADI information of surnames and maiden names are not always spelled correctly but hope they will be beneficial. We wish to thank Earl Giddings and his son Greg Giddings for the years of work that they put in while compiling the information to December 2013. While President of the Yucaipa Valley Genealogical Society in 2006, the members that assisted Earl in going to the cemeteries and photographing the gravestones were: Barbara Firestone Jamie Daniel Sue Wolfe
