Is there something wrong with my computer or address or is it just Christmas is absorbing everyone rather than the usual favorite pass time?

Thanks for the translation ... I knew my four years of college-level Japanese would not help me here ... If only I was a better student in high school -- after failing first-semester Spanish three times; I gave up <Grrr> ...

Thanks Colleen! I didn't think so -- just was not sure ... It looks like I have a gent that took on an English nickname later in life ...

Many thanks to Norm and Sally and Cate for finding the answer to the Confederate Home for me. This list is just awesome! Renee in St. Louis

Norm - this is ALSO brilliant. I have been at the usgwarchives link ALL DAY NOW - I have learned a lot of little pieces..........about a lot of people. Thanks so much again! I will keep you all posted on what I find.............!

To my knowledge, microfilms of these records are available no where else. Indexes to these records are available in several places: -- in notebooks and on microfilm at the Louisiana State Archives. I believe these indexes were created in the 1930s by the WPA. These have been superseded by online indexes. -- at the website of the Louisiana State Archives. See: http://www.sos.louisiana.gov/tabid/641/Default.aspx but the index is incomplete, covering only the late 19th century and the early 20th century. -- on Ancestry.com (at your library or through a subscription). See: http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=6587 Perhaps the best index is the one Barbara used to find some Born births at the Louisiana Archives site at USGenWeb: http://www.usgwarchives.net/la/orleans.htm It was created by NOVA volunteers entering data from the paper indexes at the Louisiana State Archives. It can be searched alphabetically: http://www.usgwarchives.net/la/orleans/birth-alpha.htm or by year: http://www.usgwarchives.net/la/orleans/birth-index.htm Note that on the Born births Barbara found for you, the volume and page columns are mislabeled, as Barbara suggested. Once you have the name, birth date, volume and page, you can make a copy for yourself at the Louisiana State Archives for 50 cents, or you can order a copy by mail for $5.00 each. You can order copies using this form: http://www.sos.louisiana.gov/Portals/0/archives/forms/LFP3LH8PublicVitalReco rdsApplicationForm.pdf Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any luck.

Barbara, this is a fabulous link! Thank you so very much. Question: if I were to send $5 to get a copy of this, would it be in the original handwriting, and like the Censuses, would there be more information on the birth records, such as the town that the father was born in ? (like not just "Germany" but "Hesse-Darmstadt" and smaller designations??)
