Hey Carolyn The only St. Michael's School I know of (other than the one in New Orleans for special students) is in Convent, LA affiliated with St. Michael's Church. Don't know what years they operated, but it might be a starting point to search.

Can someone tell me what faith/church he was associated with in 1847 in New Orleans? Thank you. Alice Hix
Hi, Carol, I grew up in the general location of St. Michael's Catholic Church and School in New Orleans in the 50's. As I remember, some nearby streets were Race and Annunciation Sts. When I did a search, it appears that St. Michael's is now St. Michael's Special School, 1522 Chippewa St, which is in the same general location. Also, if you go to http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/577394, and then search: St Michael's Parish, New Orleans, La, you will find a title for information on St. Michael's Church, Disappearing parish: Demographic-socio-economic-Michaels. While this books does not seem to be available, you could try checking the New Orleans Public Library, Louisiana Division / City Archives & Special Collections 504 596-2610 Third Floor http://www.nutrias.org/~nopl/info/info.htm Or the Historic Collection of New Orleans http://www.hnoc.org/ to see what information they have. Hope this helps.

Three months later Madame Praz wrote again, reminding Archbishop Blanc that the issue of Laure Forstall had not yet been resolved. She had heard that Laure was planning to return, and she asked Blanc to persuade Mrs. Forstall to keep her daughter at home, lest she be "obliged to send her away later." Within a few days Placide Forstall came to ask why the school no longer wished to have Laure, and Madame Praz "explained Laures conduct of last year and that they could not in conscience keep pupils who wronged others by their bad spirit, insubordination, etc." Forstall promised that "if Laure ! does not give more satisfaction, he will withdraw her immediately." Laure Forstall was Delphine Macarty Lalaurie's granddaughter. Does anybody know anything about St. Michael's School? I assume that it was a Catholic Girls' School and that it was in Louisiana, but not in New Orleans. --- Carolyn Long --- carolynlong@earthlink.net

BOSQUE (APA-135). The U.S.S. BOSQUE (APA-135), a member of the Pacific Fleet, was commissioned on December 19, 1944 in San Pedro, CA. It departed San Diego, CA on February 9, 1945 and returned from the war on November 10, 1945. Carrying cargo, supplies, troops, and reinforcements, the ship anchored in locations such as Pearl Harbor, Marshall Islands, Guam, Caroline Islands, Phillipine Islands, among others. She, along with the convoy, was under Japanese attack in Okinawa, Japan, and was among the ships in Tokyo Harbor during the Japanese surrender ceremony. Within this book is a roster of the heroic 49 officers and 457 crew members, map and diary of their tour in the Pacific theatre of World War II, hand-written signatures, and drawings by A. M. Shackleford, MoMM1c.

I had a similar situation. A natural female child [illegitimate] was born in 1877 to a daughter from someone who left town shortly after conception, never to be heard from again. By the next census of 1880, the daughter was gone but another daughter was listed on the census. That kept the headcount reported the same. I think this was not uncommon, especially if the mother died in childbirth or was a free spirit and the child may have even been given her name. My cue to dig a little deeper, was the "mother/grandmother" was beyond her child bearing years given the child's age. Later when the mother (who by the way was a widow before she bore this little girl) remarried, young Lelia is listed with her mother and stepfather on the 1890 census. Just one more "geni tale" for the book .

Google Alerts today the following story from the Bogalusa Daily News, Washington Parish, Louisiana. Comments, pro and con, voiced on reservoir http://www.edailynews.info/articles/2008/04/11/news/news08.txt April 11, 2008 BY JOHN H. WALKER The Daily News BOGALUSA - For the layman, sorting through all of the comments ... some sprinkled with fact, others stirred with fiction and all doused with emotion ... would be an impossible task, but for CDM and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers it's all part of a day's work in the gathering of information for the environmental impact study in conjunction with the proposed Washington Parish Reservoir. The 30-day collection period of comments in regards to the project got under way Thursday in the municipal courtroom at Bogalusa City Hall. A total of 27 persons - more than a quarter of those in attendance - spoke on the project with almost two-thirds voicing opposition. If there was any one non-emotional theme that permeated the comments, it was the plea to CDM and the Corps to look at every aspect of the project and all of its impacts. But there were accusations as well as questions about information disseminated by the Washington Parish Reservoir Commission (WPRC) over the years, including whether or not the reservoir would be for recreation, economic development or a potable water supply. While some opponents, including retired LSU AgCenter biologist Sandy Corbitt, accused the commission of a chameleon-like role of changing its stance in an effort to meet the path of least resistance. "It is interesting to see the latest reincarnation (of this project)," Corbitt said. "At first, it was touted as a source for recreation then, when that dr ew opposition, they switched to economic development. Now, it's (for) potable water." Corbitt said there has been no drastic water level drop in the Southern Hills Aquifer system as there has in the Chicot Aquifer in southwestern Louisiana. "Situated as we are, it is unlikely Washington Parish will experience a drop in potable drinking water," he added. Opponents also cited inconsistencies in the commission's data. "There's more property affected than shown on the map in the WPRC brochure," said Ginger Corkern. "I'm here looking for the truth and I'm counting on you." A retired geologist said he had investigated groundwater data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and found "no systematic decline" in the water table, "but the reservoir commission continues to talk about a water crisis." Leslie March, of the Sierra Club, joined Corbitt in raising concerns over endangered species such as the gopher tortoise and Florida panther as well as pointing out other concerns, such as the footprint of the pool overflowing the Choctaw Trail and nine cemeteries as well as the impact the lake would have on the habitat in and around the pool. John Lovelace of the USGS in Baton Rouge said his agency is "not aware of any groundwater problems in this area. Generally, there is a lot of groundwater available that is undeveloped." But just as there was opposition, there was support as well. Mike Gill of the Franklinton Area Economic Development Foundation said his group voted unanimously to support the project and recalled a period of water problems in the 1990s when farmers had wells go dry and even Lake Choctaw ran dry. Ryan Seal of the Washington Economic Development Foundation said his board also voted in support of the project and, in response to statements that there was no water problem, said, "I'm glad the aquifers aren't running dry, but we need to dig the well before we get thirsty." Jim Carr of Franklinton and Freddie Bauer of Oak Grove, where the reservoir would be located, said the building of the project would create jobs, provide a recreation outlet and be a source for water. State Sen. Ben Nevers told CDM and the Corps he "would ask you to look at every issue and all alternatives and, in the end, if there is no alternative, I ask the Corps to issue the permit." ************** It's Tax Time!

I hope this isn't too complicated. When listing births for numerous children, I like to think of that kind of time frame in terms of "baby bearing time" rather than a number that represents a calendar year. So it is important to look at the month of the year in addition to the year itself. For instance, on your list you show Emile is born in 1890 and Vladimar born in 1893. On the surface that appears to be 3 years. But when I look at it in terms of "baby bearing time, it could be as little time as 24 months. If Emile was born in Dec, 1890 and Vladimar was born in Jan. 1893, the actual passage of time is only 12 months in the calendar year 1891 and 12 months in 1892. So there was time to have 2 children in there but a close squeeze. Especially as she seems to be nearing the end of her baby having time. I must admit that based on your listing she had quite a few very busy years in there. I often wonder how people who had children that close together managed to do all they had to do. Raising a couple of close kids is a lot of work today--and we have canned baby food, pampers, electric washing machines, etc. Those women were doing laundry on a washboard in a tub in the yard, cooking most things from scratch all the while nursing a baby with 2 toddlers underfoot. They were indeed "supermoms." Carolyn Tregre
