Monterey County Potters Field Cemetery

Located on the corner of Natividad Rd. and East Laurel Dr. This is a CLOSED (Fenced/Gated - No Trespassing Signs) county cemetery, where any access would be considered trespassing. I have checked with the county to see about obtaining access to record the burials, and I was promptly denied. Their stand is that the grave markers contain nothing more than a burial number. Anyone interested in obtaining information on these burials are directed to the Monterey County Recorder's Office to obtain a death certificate. Most of the early Monterey County death certificates were microfilmed and are available from the Church of Latter-Day Saints Family History Library. This cemetery really is used only for the poor/indigent that cannot afford a burial. It also includes a huge number of John Doe and Jane Doe burials. Ideally, this cemetery should not have the option of making a "Photo Request" Information from FindaGrave

But when it was learned that the railroad was to go through the valley and not along the coast, the government center was moved to Salinas. After the house used as a courthouse burned, this much larger brick Victorian building was commissioned. The courthouse remained in use while the current one was being constructed around it, and then was demolished. Today a courtyard, lily pond, and commemorative sculpture occupy the site.

Voters Registers
The following is a list of original voter registration records recently transferred from Monterey County Elections Department to the Monterey County Historical Society archival facility in Salinas. To access records, see: http://www.mchsmuseum.com/

Great Register of Voters: Ledger Books: 1866-1870 1 book 1870 1 book 1881-1883,1886,1888,1890 1 book 1892 (Vol. 1, Vol. 2) 2 books 1896 (Vol. 1, Vol. 2) 2 books 1898 (Vol. 3) 2 books 1900 (Vol. 1,Vol. 2) 2 books 1902 (Vol. 1, Vol. 2) 2 books 1904 (Vol. 1, Vol.2) 2 books 1906-1907 (Vol. 1, Vol. 2) 2 books 1908-1909 (A-L, M-Z) 2 books 1910-1911 (A-L, M-Z) 2 books 1912-1913 (A-L, M-Z) 4 books 1914-1915 (A-L, M-Z) 2 books

Scattered records: Voter affidavits*: 1922-23 (Affidavits, Pleyto precinct) 1930-31 (Affidavits, Blanco precinct)

Indexes (no voter affidavits): 1938, August primary (Greenfield precincts No.1 and No. 2)

Description of collection: The ledger books1 titled Great Register of Voters are the original handwritten manuscripts kept by the County Clerk’s (Registrar of Voters) office of the County of Monterey beginning in 1866.2 The entries are made in alphabetical sections (with alpha sub-sections) and show chronological appearance of voters as they were sworn and registered to vote. The entries include place of nativity (birthplace); age of voter; place of residence (post office or precinct); date and place of naturalization, if applicable; whether citizen by virtue of Treaty of Hildago or citizen by virtue of father’s naturalization (and in later years a woman’s citizenship status by marriage); occupation; date of appearance to be sworn; and date of registration. Later registration data includes a physical description of the voter and party affiliation. The Registrar of Voters also appended notes to the entries to indicate reasons for cancellation whether due to removal to another county or state, transfer to another county due to change of boundary lines (i.e. to San Benito County in 1874), death, incarceration or “Section 1106” (failure to vote). These notations usually contained dates if known. Copies of the list of voters not thus cancelled, were made every two years and sometimes more frequently if a special election occurred (polling lists). These copies of uncancelled voters were sent to the state and other repositories on a routine basis. Microfilm of these typeset lists is available at the California State Library in Sacramento, California, and other repositories.3

These original handwritten Great Register ledger books have not been microfilmed or transcribed. There was a partial transcription done of the 1890 Great Register as part of a census substitute project4 but the transcription does not include cancellation information.

Note: The Great Register books contain information for years other than marked on the book spines. For example, the 1866-1870 Great Register contains several entries made after 1870 when cancellations were noted and the 1890 Great Register shows voter registration dates which occurred years earlier.

1 Some years are missing. 2 Beginning in the year 1866, California state law required a list of voters to be kept. 3 Monterey County (California) County Clerk. Great Register of Voters 1867, 1869, 1872, 1875-1876, 1879-1880, 1884, 1886, 1888, 1890, 1892, 1894, 1896, 1898. (Salt Lake City: Filmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah, 1975). 4 Bettyann Lockwood Hedegard, ed., 1890 great register of Monterey County, California. (Salinas, CA: Monterey County Genealogy Society, c1993).
 * Voter affidavits are registration forms signed by the voters and contain birth date, birth place, residence address, occupation, party affiliation and sometimes cancellation information.
