I have been searching for years for an obituary on my Great-grandmother Josephine Perez. Her maiden name was Gonzales. She died December 28, 1898, at age 28 years, 8 months old, burial in St. Bernard Church Cemetery December 30, 1898. She was married to Victorin Perez. He was born in Plaquemines Parish, LA and died in Violet, St. Bernard, LA. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Judy

Hi there, I'm trying to find the obituary and/or any kind of image of my g.g.g. grandmother, Mary Cane. She was at one time called "The Mother of Shreveport," and she and her father Samuel Bennett, and her 1st husband William Bennett, and her 2nd husband James Cane, founded Bossier City (then Cane's Landing) and Shreveport (they are they of the State Historical Marker in Shreveport by the Red River noting the place of the Cane-Bennett Trading Post). I have a lot of history on her, but no likeness or picture. Local historians and the University are also looking for a picture of her -- we all have been for years. I'm trying to get the word out that we're searching, and maybe SOMEBODY will have a lead or clue on an attic full of old pictures which might contain something helpful. She came to Louisiana in the late 1820's, and died in Shreveport in 1902. ANY help you could provide will be so appreciated, and you, or whoever finds anything would be immortalized with your name as the finder of her image. Thank you for anything you are able to do, Sincerely, Barbara Langston

http://www.ldnews.com/columns/ci_3798423 Swiss Roots a site not filled with holes By James M. Beidler Lebanon Daily News So many Web sites are filled with all style and no substance that it’s refreshing to find one that has some real meat to it. Such is the case with Swiss Roots, which lives up to its name by offering a number of helpful aids for researching ancestors from the tiny landlocked European nation of Switzerland. While it’s somewhat obvious that the site was primarily conceived as a device to help market Switzerland for tourists, that fact does not detract from the fact that there is a lot of good information on this site. For instance, visitors to the Web site can do a surname search of several databases. One of the databases is a “revised” version of the online Ellis Island database (applicable to immigrants between the 1890s and 1920s) in which Swiss Roots has tried to correct misinterpretations of the original records made by the volunteers who created the database. Another database is the invaluable Swiss Family Name Handbook, which links surnames to communities of citizenship. In the primer to Swiss genealogy that the site provides, it’s pointed out that the Swiss have citizenship on both the national and local level — with the local level of citizenship not necessarily determined by where the individual lives now, but by where the paternal ancestor lived. There’s also a facsimile of an early 20th century geographical dictionary of Swiss villages on the site (warning: It is written in German), as well as links to Web sites of the actual villages (most of the towns appear to have them, including photos of the area). The site also offers a basic genealogy vocabulary list in German (there are also French- and Italian-speaking Swiss, but about two-thirds of the population speak German). There are also non-genealogy parts to the site, including listings of Swiss holidays, customs and recipes for traditional Swiss foods. There’s also an interview with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who the site says is planning a trip to see his ancestral nation of origin. The stated goal for Swiss Roots is to bring together the Swiss and American people, especially Americans with Swiss heritage. Among the sponsors of Swiss Roots are Switzerland Tourism and Swiss International Airlines. The URL for the Swiss Rootsis: HTTP://WWW.SWISSROOTS.ORG ——————

I would appreciate the look-up of an obituary for Chloe Hallmark whose death date is June, 1967 possibly in Shreveport, Caddo Parish. She is the widow of James E. "Jimmy" Hallmark. Her children were Bennie Lee, Herman W., Edna G., Franklin Monroe, Gordon Bartlett Sr. and James Jr. She may have been living with one of these children at the time of her death. Thanks in advance for any help. Dawna Clark
