Robichaux, Jr. "Civil Registration of Orleans Parish, 1790 - 1833 has 1,016 pages and costs $ 55.00 plus $ 3.00 shipping per book. Please note we cannot at this time accept credit card payments. We have only 500 copies to sell and we are not planning a reprint of this book. About the book: "Before 1990, the civil registrations of Orleans Parish were closed to the general public, but then opened to the public once the transfer occurred to the State Archives. Now, with the publication of "Civil Registration of Orleans Parish, 1790-1833 by Albert Robichaux, the civil registration of births, marriages, and deaths appear for the first time in any published format." "The author has painstakingly abstracted all genealogical and historical data, except reference to legitimacy, for all births, marriages, and deaths that occurred in Orleans Parish between 1790 and 1833. Although registration did not begin until 1819, there were late registrations of 72 births and 24 deaths that occurred between 1790 and 1818." "In total, this work contains more than 2400 entries that include names of parents, their occupations, places of nativity and residence, including specific street addresses as well as similar information for deponents and witnesses. More remarkable is that of the 1528 births included in this book, that occurred from 1790 - 1833, a total of 308, or 20 % include the names of the parental and maternal grandparents, sometimes their places of birth and residence. Although New Orleans and Louisiana are blessed with very detailed Catholic Church records, the civil registration of births, marriages, and deaths provide even more information." "In addition to recording births, marriages and deaths that occurred in Orleans Parish, this book contains registration events that occurred in other countries, states and parishes in Louisiana. Although the book contains names of Frenchmen, Germans, Acadians and Anglo-Saxons, it also contains a wealth of information on families from Santo Domingo and also of African-Americans."
