It would be good to upload these obits to our web site and then provide a link to the death certificates. Also, wonder if an excel spreadsheet could be created which would list everyone's name who appears on our Degruy Website... with boxes checked for which kind of records we have for each...that could serve almost as an index to the site .... would be greatly helpful... R Wally, you mentioned doing something kinda like this.... what program did you use... was it a word processing program or a spread sheet.... > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Subject: > RE: Francois Verloin DeGruy information withdrawn from web site - Update > From: > "slideaus" <slideaus@bellsouth.net> > Date: > Fri, 5 Aug 2005 21:06:25 -0500 > To: > DEGRUY-L@rootsweb.com > > To: > DEGRUY-L@rootsweb.com > > >Regarding the two different Francis/Francois DeGruys: > >The New Orleans Times-Democrat of October 28, 1901 has the following >obituary: > >DE GRUY - On Sunday, Oct. 27, 1901, at 8:20 o'clock p.m., FRANCOIS >VERLOIN DE GRUY, aged sixty-two years, son of Theophile Verloin DeGruy >and Felicite Anais Foucher. >The friends and families of De Gruy, Marmillion and Rigob are >respectfully invited to his funeral, which will start from the residence >of his brother-in-law, 1129 Baronne Street, between Calliope and Clio >streets, at 3 o'clock this (Monday) afternoon. > >The death certificate reflects similar information except it does not >specify his parents nor that the address at which he died was his >brother-in-law's house, not his. > >The New Orleans Daily Picayune of August 16, 1900 has the following >obituary: > >De GRUY - On Wednesday, August 15, 1900, at 5:30 o'clock p.m., FRANCIS >V.
