Hello everyone, Do any of you know where I could find a list of all private schools and academies in New Orleans between 1930-1935? My grandfather attended a private school at the high school level in the 30's but I don't know which one. Any assistance is appreciated.

Have you checked to se if the NO library has year books for those years. A good source to find students. Also School Reunions.

How about checking the Yellow Pages for that period? It should have listings of both public and private schools.

Hi List, Need some help........ (1) Joseph Camille Verloin DeGruy married Leonide Daspit De St. Amant his parents: (Francois) Joseph Verloin DeGruy I (II) and                   (Marie) Louise Heloise Saulet his children: Marie Felicide and Therese Estelle (2) Joseph Camille Verloin DeGruy married (Felicide) Leonide St. Amant his parents: Pierre DuMesnil DuFouchard DeGruy and                   (Marie Francoise) Azelie Daspit St. Amant his children: (Joseph) Camille, Jr; Charles Pierre; Marie Mathilde I believe the parents of No. 1 is correct. Where and how does the second wife fit and where do the children from No. 1 and No. 2 go and with whom? As Renee would say I'm confused; about the second wife and the children. Thanks for any help with this. Helen Kendrick

Hi Sarah, Adding to our good cousin, Bonnie Bess' info, I would think your Henry Forno's blacksmith shop, at that time, was located on Girod Street, between Church Street and St. Charles Ave.  The blacksmith location is now in the 600 block of Girod Street. His residence (or domicile) was at Bacchus (now Baronne), between Calliope and Triton Walk (now Howard Avenue).  This info was gleaned from John Churchill Chase's  "Frenchmen,Desire, Good Children (and other Streets of New Orleans)" Third Edition, 1979.  An interesting study of the origination of (and changes to) the Streets of New Orleans. Coincidentally, is there any relationship or connection with your Henry Forno and the Henry Forno, a former New Orleans Chief of Police, who served as a Colonel with the 5th Louisiana Infantry?  Just curious!

I would think that d. meant domicile in the City Directory.
