In answer to your question re: where do we find records of mortgage
companies that don't exist?  I have been researching Kissell Company
and Cityfed Mortgage too. Both appear to be out of business. LA Times
article by Robert J. Bruss (11/12/06 Real Estate section) offers:  If
you can't find evidence the loan was cleared from the title to your
home, your next stop should be the office of the title company that
insured your deed when you bought your home.  Explain the problem and
see if the company's records show the loan payoff.  If not, then you
might have to bring a quiet title action if the mortgage lender is out
of business.  I hope this helps.
