Danna: When you enter your local library web page look for a link such as "Database" or something similar then it should lead you to state library choice then enter your local library card number then you should probably see Newsbank on the right hand column about half way down. If you still have trouble your local librarian probably could give you instructions to get to the State Library where you will not have a charge. Dont sign onto NewsBank directly as there will be a charge.

Times Picayune can be accessed from NewsBank. If you are located in a major citty in Lousiana  and have a library card you can go on your local library site to "Database" or some name like that then enter your library card number in the dialog box then select select "Statewide Databases" about half way down you will  click on Newsbank. NewsBank has index Times Picahune since 1/1/1989 and Baton Rouge Advocate from 1/1/1986. Earlier Times Picayune has been index by the New Orleans Public Library. Go to http://neworleanspubliclibrary.org/obits/obits.htm.  Obituary File had complete coverage from 1837-1972. New Orleans GenWeb Project picks up when the library Index above leaves off. Go to http://www.usgwarchives.net/la/orleans/_tpi.htm. Jefferson Parish Library has index of Times Picayune http://www.jefferson.lib.la.us/obit/ObitSearch.asp  for the period of January, 1972 through 1978.   Ben Achee (Aaah-shay)     ________________________________ From: Julie Campbell Hernandez <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sat, November 6, 2010 8:26:27 PM Subject: Re: [LAORLEAN] One MO' Time Nancy, I saw your response to Carolyn about finding obituaries from the Times Picayune at the State Library.  Can you provide the link?  I went to the State Library website and could not find obituaries.

Sorry -- I sent this message before I was finished with it. So, here is the complete message. As far as I can tell, the way to pronounce Bossier City is Bo-jour City or Bo-shure City. But, I wouldn't assume that's the way you would pronounce your family name. In Louisiana, it seems nothing is pronounced the way you might think it would be. For instance, we have a city just southeast of here that is spelled Cloutierville. They pronounce it "Clutchie-ville." Normal French pronunciation would be Clou-ti-a-ville. It is named after a French family, and I'm not sure how the family pronounces the name. My advice is, don't assume anything from the Louisiana pronunciation.

As far as I can tell, the way to pronounce Bossier is Bo-jour or Bo- shure. But, I wouldn't assume that's the way you would pronounce your family name. In Louisiana, it seems nothing is pronounced the way you might think it would be. For instance, we have a city just southeast of hear that is spelled Cloutierville.

It takes as long to get an error message as long as it takes me to go through them. There is three in there from you that are all to big. I just deferred them so you might get a message now.
