Hi Hoping one of you has an old map that might show Shaw's Landing, which was probably located on Vermillion River. This would date back to 1820-1840. Don't know how long the name would have survived on maps. Probably belonged to James Stokes Shaw, a brother or his dad originally. Any ideas or info would be appreciated. Thanks! Jan Garland CA

Martha, My Pooles are from Bossier Parish, LA. My grandmother was Effie Leo Poole Connell. My ggrandfather was George Andrew Franklin Poole. He and his wife Jane Bates Poole are buried in the Poole Sutton Cemetery in Bossier parish. I think his parents were Armstead and Sallie (Craddock?) Poole. They lived SC, TN, and MS. George was born in TN. That is about the extent of what I know about them.

Well, I knew there were some folks out there smarter than I am. Thanks for all the posts. Jan At 09:58 PM 10/20/99 EDT, you wrote: >Sorry Jan, you're not exactly correct.

Actually, a woman who never worked, could draw Social Security benefits from her husband's account. For example, when he retires, and is eligible for say $500.00 a month, she could also draw a monthly benefit for herself. Thus, he might get $400 and she the other $100 (for the $500 total). The advantage is, if he dies, her money will continue. So a woman who never worked, could draw benefits, and would be listed on the SSDI.

Sorry Jan, you're not exactly correct. If one spouse gets ss, the other's is ajusted accordingly. Both my brother and his wife get it. Also, my sister and her husband are both on disability and they both get it. If a husband gets it and the wife has never worked, and he dies, the wife gets it until it runs out, if she lives a lot longer. Louvenia

Jan: The microfilm of the Louisiana Death Index ends with 1948 and we have it at the Southwest Louisiana Genealogical and Historical Library in Lake Charles, [email protected] . AND you are right it is very hard (if not impossible) to read (especially the dates and certificate numbers) but many times we are able to figure out what it says. One still must write to the Archives in order to get a copy of the certificate, since what we have is only an index. OK now don't go getting another project started.............it would be great to have the death index on-line, but the Archives needs to do it. It would have to be done where they can have access to the actual records when in doubt as to a reading since the microfilm is of such poor quality. For those of you who have never seen it, it looks like a carbon copy (on onionskin paper) was filmed. The letters and numbers really kind of bleed together :-( . But we can give it a try if someone needs a death date. Contact the library for a look up.

The death index that we have access to is on microfilm and is VERY hard to read! I WISH someone would take on the HUGE task of transcribing it so we could put it online!!! It would be a tremendous asset to researchers. This index only covers the early years..and I can't remember off the top of my empty head what year it stops with. Anna knows!! ;o) At 05:37 AM 10/20/99 -0400, you wrote: >I use the SSDI (Social Security) quite a bit and think it is a great tool. >I've never quite find or understand what else is available. > >Does Louisiana (Vital Records) publish a comprehensive Death Index that can >be sorted surname or Parish that might be available somewhere out of state >like the Library of Congress? > >James >[email protected] > > > > >==== LA-LGHS Mailing List ==== >LGHS: Serving Louisiana Genealogist since 1953. >Send queries for consideration to be published in The Register >contact Maurice Pecquet at <[email protected]> > > >

I use the SSDI (Social Security) quite a bit and think it is a great tool. I've never quite find or understand what else is available. Does Louisiana (Vital Records) publish a comprehensive Death Index that can be sorted surname or Parish that might be available somewhere out of state like the Library of Congress? James [email protected]

Others may have already answered this, but I am late getting to all of my mail. Many people are not included in the SSI because they did not have social security numbers. The Social Security program began around 1932 and began issuing numbers. Everyone working at that time should have obtained a number for tax purposes. Many employers did not care at that time and many people who were working may not have obtained a social security number.

Actually a woman does not have to work or contribute to the SS system if she was married for at least 10 years to the same man she can draw even if she is divorced. My mom never worked outside the home and drew on my dad's account....after he died and she remarried, she continued to draw on dad's account. An aunt was divorced after 20+ years of marriage and drew on her ex-husband's account. ---------- > From: Jan Craven <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [LA-LGHS-L] SS Death Index > Date: Tuesday, October 19, 1999 10:49 PM > > The Social Securtiy system was set up during or at the end of the depression > and so your person who died in 1900 would not have been in there. > A person must have rec.

The Social Securtiy system was set up during or at the end of the depression and so your person who died in 1900 would not have been in there. A person must have rec. Soc. Sec or been eligable to rec it. ALSO someone had to file for the death benefit. There are regulations that are followed in getting the benefits. If one spouse gets it, the other doesn't, as I understand it. And if you were on another pension plan, such as a railroad pension then you didn't get ss and so were not eleg. for the death benefits. I don't think the woman who didn't work would be eleg. You have to contribute to be eleg. Look for that person who died in 1900 in the local newspaper obituaries. Hope this helps. I'm sure that others will be able to add to this. Jan At 10:24 PM 10/19/99 EDT, you wrote: >Hi, > >Can Anyone tell me when the SS Death index began.
