Good job, folks!! But please, please make some contacts and do something about the laws in Louisiana dealing with such things. There should be legal steps to take but the laws of Louisiana (and I quickly add "elsewhere" since old cemeteries are in deep distress all over the country) do not afford enough protection for the dead.

To Whom It May Concern, We are writing this letter in response to the information we have received concerning the Sale of Tombs/Grave Sites at the St. Michael's Cemetery in St. Martinville, La, for back maintenance fees. The St. Martin de Tours Catholic Church in St. Martinville, Louisiana, who own the cemetery, are acquiring the old ancestral plots to resell them, we assume for lack of space, and for past unpaid fees. The church has already paved over the original cemetery which housed the Original Acadian Ancestors that Immigrated here from Acadia! It is now a Parking Lot! We, as Guardians of our Ancestors Tombs and Genealogist, Historians, hope to put an end to this destruction. The remains, history and genealogy of these tombs desperately need to be need to be preserved for future generations to come. By sending this letter we hope to get your support in this effort.

Hi Kera. Appreciate the information, but I see no amounts of money that we would need to bail out these holy sites from destruction. Has any amount been mentioned, or has this become a bidding process for the church? Also, is there a list of the grave's marked for destruction?

Researching the Bartholomew United Methodist Church Cemetery located just north of Bastrop, Morehouse Parish, LA. Edwards and Hollingsworth Thanks, Carlton Edwards

Was wondering.......I know the list is new.....but are there volunteers to some of these cemeteries to go take pictures? Maybe we could post that? I used to live in LA (just moved to AL) and still have alot of pictures that I need taken in the middle and northern parts of the state. (Got all the southern ones LOL) Lisa

I live in TX but make frequent trips to LaSalle, Grant, Winn, and Catahoula parishes in LA. If you need pictures from any of the cemeteries in that area I'll be happy to help if I can.

does Sacred Heart Church. in Morgan City have it's own cemetery? it's in St. Marys' Parish daddy, August Chauvin was christened there and his mama died when he was a year old..would be 4/1898...I read every cemetery list i see looking for her. In fact because of her I started with genealogy. For my Daddy:) Daddys' sisters would talk about her saying how sweet their mama was..and my Daddy would have this almost a smile and such a longing in his pretty blue eyes. my Granma was Camelia Cram Chauvin..

Don, I'm still looking for any MaGinnis members. I found this - they seem to be in the New Orleans area but can't connect them yet! ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/la/orleans/biographies/maginnis.txt MAGINNIS, Arthur Ambrose, Baltimore, MD., then Orleans Parish, Louisiana Submitted by Mike Miller Maginnis, Arthur Ambrose. The first of the name ennobled after the English manner, was Sir Art., or Arthur Maginnis, who was married to Sarah, daughter of Hugh McNeil and was created by James I in 1623 Lord Viscount Iveah. By the result of the Civil war of 1641-53, the Maginnises were greatly shattered in their fortunes, but Arthur Maginnis had also been minister for Great Britain and Ireland at the courts of Stockholm, Naples and Lisbon. This grand old family sent its representatives to America also, and one of its sons gave his young life in defense of American interests even before the days of 1776. France then claimed North America from Labrador to New Orleans. The colonies fought often against this claim before it was abandoned. The campaign of 1755 began with 3 expeditions against the French forts. In the one against Crown Point on Lake George, Capt. Arthur Maginnis at the head of 200 men fell on the French and completely routed them. After turning the fortunes of the day, he was mortally wounded and was buried with military honors. Arthur Ambrose Maginnis, the subject of this sketch, was the son of Daniel Maginnis and Jane Reed, who were married in County Antrim, Ireland, in 1807. Arthur Ambrose Maginnis (the father of all the Maginnises living in New Orleans) was born in Baltimore, Md., July 17, 1815; married in that city in Aug., 1839 to Elizabeth Jane Armstrong (born at New Castle on the Tyne, England 1 Louis Maginnis Age at birth of first child: ? . +Touncy" Hortense Bringol b: 1872 Age at birth of first child: 24 est. 2 Martin Maginnis b: 1896 Age at birth of first child: 21 est. .... +Lucille b: 1898 Age at birth of first child: 19 est. 2 Flossie Maginnis b: March 16, 1904 in Marksville, Louisiana Age at first Marriage: 14 Age at birth of first child: 17 d: August 16, 1982 in Alexandria, Louisiana Age at death: 78 Burial: Memorial Gardens, Alexandria, La. .... +Kelly Felix Mertens b: October 15, 1898 in Alexandria, Louisiana m: October 04, 1918 in Alexandria, Louisiana Age at first Marriage: 19 Age at birth of first child: 22 d: October 27, 1970 in Alexandria, Louisiana Age at death: 72 Burial: Memorial Gardens, Alexandria, La.
