Alhambra Cemetery Decedent List Project

When the COVID pandemic shutdown began, MCPA was no longer able to do any work or enter the Alhambra Cemetery. During that time and to the present, MCPA has been restoring and updating the Alhambra Pioneer Decedent lists (East Side and Potter's Field) for genealogy purposes. We now have found over 3,335 obituaries, Death Notices, funeral/burial, and articles, along with accurate information from Find-A-Grave, Ancestry, digitized newspapers and descendants. So far, we have found over 700 decedents that were not on the list, uncovered 534 misspelled last names and 306 duplicates.

Over the past six months, Find-A-Grave has transferred 1,500+ Alhambra Cemetery memorials to be managed by our MCPA research team.  If you are currently a free member of Find-A-Grave or find the memorial on Ancestry.com, you will definitely enjoy the obituaries, pictures, and accurate information we have added on your ancestor. Please note that Ancestry.com may not show Find-A-Grave memorials unless a family tree has been started for the decedent.  Please contact MCPA if you need any help.

While the lists are still being restored, MCPA is currently the only organization with the restored list. Once it is restored and a new format is in place, there will be a link on MCPA's site for genealogy organizations and descendants who are interested. In the meantime, if you are looking for an ancestor in Alhambra Cemetery, and cannot find your ancestor through the City of Martinez Website links, please contact MCPA or go to Find-A-Grave.

Descendants are one of our most valued contributors!  In the past, we have had descendants contact MCPA to advise us that their ancestor is definitely buried in the cemetery but not listed on the City of Martinez website. Should you know of someone who is looking for an ancestor, or has information about an ancestor in Alhambra Cemetery, please have them contact us.
