## Jeffrey Michael Monasteri

Original California death certificate, Los Angeles death certificates 1955, image 1238 of 2018, registrar number 17225, registration district 7053: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G9SV-N94B-B

The original names Jeffrey Michael Monasteri, male, born 23 September 1955 in California, died 24 September 1955 at 1:00 a.m., age 20 hours. Parents: Sam Monasteri, Illinois, and Marie Traina, Illinois. Informant: Sam Monasteri. Death occurred at Valley Hospital, Los Angeles (Van Nuys). Family residence is given as Los Angeles (Reseda). Burial 26 September 1955 at San Fernando Mission. Cause is written Prematurity. The small handwritten weight annotation is not transcribed.

The county index QGNZ-LWWM reports death 25 September 1955 and estimated birth year 1955. The original date 24 September takes precedence; the index discrepancy is retained. Associated father QGNZ-LWW9 and mother QGNZ-LWWS explicitly identify these parents. Parent names and the Illinois/California family context support correlation with the project's Sam and Marie; this record does not establish Sam's full birth name or his own parents.

Full index inspected: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QKLS-Z66T

Daily News of Los Angeles, obituary dated 9 December 2009. Names wife Marie, daughter Suzanne Monasteri-Mace, and granddaughter Caitie Mace. The index gives an implausible birth date 5 December 2009 and age zero for a husband, father and grandfather. These fields are not adopted. The obituary publication date is not treated as the death date. The original obituary is not inspected: the GenealogyBank link returned a CloudFront request-blocked page.

Suzanne's existing family-supplied identity is supported by the same father, wife/mother family grouping, and given name; Monasteri-Mace is recorded as an indexed name, not proof of a named spouse. Caitie's parents are not stated by the inspected index; no parent-child link is inferred. Original obituary verification remains pending.
