Penny, Nicholas Cuccia is a very popular name in this area! Do you have an approx birthdate for him? Also, is he a Jr.?

Hi Norm, Actually, I am noticing it on the trees that are being put up on the site. I was aware of Lafayette situation. Found that out from where my GGgrandparents were married and lived in 1850. This is happening as a part of Ancestry's new "wonderful" help.....auto fill in. More often as not, Ancestry suggests New Orleans, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, USA. I rarely fill in the parish as I am not always sure which parish was which in the late 1700's and early 1800's. Just wondered why it would be doing that. Guess it is because it was, at one time part of both Jefferson and Orleans, and "J" just comes first. Sure wish I had paid better attention in History class, it's tough learning all this stuff at my age.

the main library in New Orleans has the original interdictions - she can get a copy of that if she gives them the info we transcribed. The interdiction page that I got for my aunt had more information than the records we transcribed for example - she was having frequent seizures and could no longer be cared for at home - said she was clean and i don't remember what else but i think is certainly is worth it to either go to the library and find it or have the library send it. The cost used to be about $2.00 to send for it.

I was contacted by Pat (copying her on this email) who discovered her relative Kate Pendergast in the records of the Next of Kin of Patients in the Insane Asylum that we transcribed for the Louisiana Division. See _http://www.nutrias.org/~nopl/inv/next%20of%20kin.htm_ (http://www.nutrias.org/~nopl/inv/next%20of%20kin.htm) . We would like to find out if any further records exist. I suggested to Pat to try to find out where the patients in the asylum came from. I suspect that many came from Charity Hospital. If so, there would be an admission record for Kate somewhere on the microfilm for the 1877 admissions, assuming she was not in the asylum or the hospital for long.
