Cal. Evid. Code § 1315 — Family History is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
Evidence of a statement concerning a person’s birth, marriage, divorce, death, parent and child relationship, race, ancestry, relationship by blood or marriage, or other similar fact of family history which is contained in a writing made as a record of a church, religious denomination, or religious society is not made inadmissible by the hearsay rule if:
(a) The statement is contained in a writing made as a record of an act, condition, or event that would be admissible as evidence of such act, condition, or event under Section 1271; and
(b) The statement is of a kind customarily recorded in connection with the act, condition, or event recorded in the writing.
