Guess you haven't heard. The wonderful mayor's office has CLOSED all libraries INDEFINITELY!!! They have laid off 197 library employees and kept on 17 (i believe). But I do have ancestry and perhaps can find those records. Just to let you know, the archives is fine at the library. They had minimal damage in the basement. The link to there website is www.NUTRIAS.org. ========================= The above is information from another List concerning the records in New Orleans. I thought those of you with connections there might be interested in knowing this. Gloria
