    1. Re: WILLIAM FITZGERALD-orphan
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Queries Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/1cW.2ACIB/1020.1 Message Board Post: Sandra, William Fitzgerald and Celise Bergeron are my great grandparents. The family was under the impression he arrived in St. Landry Parish on the Orphan Train. Your information clears things up. I was in Grandcoteau and Carrencro, LA a few years back and spoke with a priest in one of those locations. I can't remember which location of the two he said William was buried, but we were unable to locate a grave marker. Consequently, the Leonville information is of interest to me. Were you able to located a death certificate? If so, I would be interested in getting a copy. Would be interested to know if the "Lalondes" were related to the Fitzgeralds, or was this another avenue being used to send the orphans out of New York. Also, do you have the name of the cemetery in Leonville? Betsy Looking forward to hearing from you! Betsy
