Celine asked where the marriage index drawers are to be found.... New Orleans Public Library on Loyola... in the Genealogy Department...... When you get off the area, walk straight back as if you were going to the Obits metal cabinets, then turn left. They are in the middle of the room between the tables and chairs and the bookstacks. They are in drawers in a wooden card catalog type of cabinet Once you have the citation, the librarian can show you the right microfilm drawer to retrieve the microfilm record.... that's what the locators like VEE and VED and VEH are all about....

Probably a derivation of your name. The surname LaCroix is pronounced (la-croi--with the croi word rhyming with "toy").
