All five books mentioned were included in the packet. {as a loan of course} I have copied the introduction and details on the first session here. It seems like a lot to cover in a two hour session. If you are interested, I will copy the details of the other five sessions for the list also. Penny T The Creole Identity and Experience In Louisiana Literature and History The Creole identity in Louisiana life and culture emerged in the eighteenth century and has taken palpable form in several regions of the state. With its aura of fascination and exoticism, it has commanded both the imagination and the curiosity of Americans - readers and tourists. This program will enable readers to examine social class, race and culture in the shaping and transference of the designation--assumed or imposed--on groups in Louisiana’s history. The establishment of a permanent Louisiana Creole Heritage Center at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches as well as recent scholarly and popular presentations on Creole history, literature, folk life, and culture at regional and national Creole conferences in New Orleans, Chicago, Houston, and even California all testify to the enduring interest in the Creole experience in Louisiana. Literary texts for this reading series include several depicting Creoles in New Orleans. George Washington Cable, a New Orleans native, portrayed them in his novel The Grandissimes. Grace King and Alice Dunbar-Nelson presented early sympathetic and illuminating writing on the group. Anne Rice represents a more recent historical novel/romance in The Feast of all Saints. But other literary works present Creole life and experience in other parts of Louisiana. Northwestern Louisiana is the setting for Lalita Tademy’s Cane River, and rural south Louisiana is featured in Ernest J Gaines’ Catherine Carmier, which dramatizes the clash between African American, black Creole, and white Cajun agrarians, Historical texts include Alice Dunbar-Nelson’s 1917 essay, “People of Color in Louisiana” and selected chapters from Creole New Orleans: Race and Americanization, edited by Arnold Hirsch and Joseph Logsdon. This reading list will be supplemented with handouts and suggestions for further reading. “Discussion” items are supplementary readings that provide interesting contexts and background. They will be summarized where appropriate by the discussion leader and copies will be available to participants. Wednesday, April 23 Session I: Colonial Foundations of Creole Culture and Identity The introductory session begins with an exercise in which the participants articulate their understandings of the term “Creole” and how those understandings shape their sense of Creole identity. Beginning with “people of Color in Louisiana,” by Creole intellectual Alice Moore Dunbar-Nelson, discussion focuses on the origins of Creole elements and how they forged a culture and identity. Dunbar-Nelson laid the ground work for the study of gens de couleur in the early twentieth century, defining the caste system which evolved in Louisiana and describing how the subtle distinctions of various racial groups made complexion a crucial marker of social and political status. Readings: LEH Handout: Alice Moore Dunbar-Nelson, “People of Color in Louisiana.” Sybil Klein ED., Creole: The History and Legacy of Louisiana’s Free People of Color. Baton Rouge: LSU Press, 2000, pp. 3-41.

Hi Joan, Thank you for the history, it was interesting. I will probably be making what is my last trip to New Orleans next month for my son's graduation from Tulane University. My Dad loved history and often spoke of New Orelans and the Battle of New Orleans. As a young child, New Orleans was one of the few places I had a deep desire to visit. Little did I imagine that when I grew up and had a family that a son of mine would choose New Orleans for his place of college. New Orleans holds a very special place in our hearts and pray that in our life time that its sorrows can be healed and New Orleanians who wish can return to their homes and a semblance of normalacy will once again prevail. The yellow fever outbreak of 1853 killed many Irish Famine immigrants. It is interesting to note that St. Louis Catholic Cathedral is the U.S.'s oldest cathedral, built about 1796. Beannachtai, (Blessings in Gaelige) Margaret K.

Catholic Encyclopedia is available online at http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11005b.htm I copied the following history of Catholicism in New Orleans in the mid 19th century, according to them, and present it here: In 1843, anxious to provide for the wants of the increasing German and Irish immigration, Bishop Blanc had summoned the Congregation of the Redemptorists to the diocese and the German parish of St. Mary's Assumption was founded by Rev. Czackert of that congregation. In 1847 the work of the Society of Jesus in the diocese, which had been temporarily suspended, was resumed under Father Maisounabe as superior, and a college building was started on 10 June. In the following year Father Maisounabe and a brilliant young Irish associate, Father Blackney, fell victims to yellow fever. The population of New Orleans now numbered over fifty thousand, among whom were many German immigrants. Bishop Blanc turned over the old Ursuline chapel to the Germans of the lower portion of the city, and a church was erected which finally resulted in the foundation of the Holy Trinity parish on 26 October, 1847. In 1849 the College of St. Paul was opened at Baton Rouge. On 13 July, 1852, St. Charles College became a corporate institution with with Rev. A. J. Jourdan, S.J., as president. In 1849 Bishop Blanc attended the seventh council of Baltimore at which the bishops expressed their desire that the See of New Orleans be raised to metropolitan rank. On 19 July, 1850, Pius X established the Archdiocese of New Orleans, Bishop Blanc being raised to the Archiepiscopal dignity. The Province of New Orleans was to embrace New Orleans with Mobile, Natchez, Little Rock, and Galveston as suffragan sees. The spirit of Knownothingism invaded New Orleans as other parts of the United States, and Archbishop Blanc found himself in the thick of the battle. Public debates were held, conspicuous among those who did yeoman service in crushing the efforts of the party in Louisiana being Hon. Thos. J. Semmes, a distinguished advocate, Rev. Francis Xavier Leray and Rev. N. J. Perche, both afterwards Archbishop of New Orleans. Father Perche founded (1844) a French diocesan journal "Le Propagateur Catholique", which vigorously assailed the Knownothing doctrines. On June 6 a mob attacked the office of the paper, and also made a fierce attack on the Ursuline convent, breaking doors and windows and hurling insults at the nuns. In 1853 New Orleans was decimated by the worst outbreak of yellow fever in its history, seven priests and five sisters being among its victims. On 6 March, 1854, the School Sisters of Notre Dame arrived in New Orleans to take charge of St. Joseph's Asylum, founded to furnish homes for those orphaned by the epidemic. St. Vincent's Orphan Asylum was also opened as a home for foundling and infant orphans, and entrusted to the Sisters of Charity. On 29 July, 1853, the Holy See divided the Diocese of New Orleans, which at that time embraced all of Louisiana, and established the See of Natchitoches. The new diocese contained about twenty-five thousand Catholics, chiefly a rural population, for whom there were only seven churches. The Convent of the Sacred Heart at Natchitoches was the only religious institution in the new diocese. In 1854 Archbishop Blanc went to Rome and was present at the solemn definition of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. In his report to Propaganda he describes his diocese as containing forty quasi-churches, each with a church and one or two priests and a residence for the clergy; the city had eighteen churches. The diocese had a seminary under the Priests of the Mission with an average of nine students; the religious orders at work were the Jesuits with three establishments, Priests of the Mission with three, and the Redemptorists with two. The Catholic population of 95,000 was made up of natives of French, Spanish, Irish, or American origin, French, Germans, Spaniards, and Italians. Distinctive Catholic schools were increasing. The Ursulines, Religious of the Sacred Heart, Sisters of Holy Charity, Marianites of the Holy Cross, Tertiary Carmelites, School Sisters of Notre Dame and the Coloured Sisters of the Holy Family were doing excellent work. Many abuses had crept in especially with regard to marriage, but after the erection of the new churches with smaller parochial school districts, religion had gained steadily and the frequentation of the sacraments was increasing. In 1855 the Fathers of the Congregation of the Holy Cross came to New Orleans to establish a manual industrial school for the training of the orphan boys who had bee rendered homeless by the terrible epidemic of 1853. They established themselves in the lower portion of New Orleans and became inseparably identified with religious and educational progress. In 1879 they opened their college, which is now one of the leading institutions of Louisiana. On 20 January, 1856, the First Provincial Council of New Orleans was held, and in January, 1858, Archbishop Blanc held the fourth diocesan synod. In 1859 the Sisters of the Good Shepherd were called by Archbishop Blanc to New Orleans to open a reformatory for girls. Bishop Blanc opened another diocesan seminary in the same year, and placed it in charge of the Lazarist Fathers. He convoked the second provincial council on 22 January, 1860. Just before the second session opened he was taken so seriously ill that he could no longer attend the meetings. He rallied and seemed to regain his usual health, but he died 20 June following. Right Rev. John Mary Odin, Bishop of Galveston, was appointed successor to Archbishop Blanc, and arrived in New Orleans on the Feat of Pentecost, 1861. The Civil War had already begun and excitement was intense. All the prudence and charity of the Archbishop were needed as the war progressed. An earnest maintainer of discipline, Bishop Odin found it necessary, on 1 January, 1863, to issue regulations regarding the recklessness and carelessness that had prevailed in the temporal management of the churches the indebtedness of which he had been compelled to assume to save them from bankruptcy. The regulations were not favourably received, and the archbishop visited Rome, returning in the spring of 1863, when he had obtained the permission of the Holy See for his course of action. It was not until some time later that through his charity and zeal he obtained the cordial support he desired. His appeals for priests while in Europe were not unheeded and early in 1863 forty seminarians and five Ursulines arrived with Bishop Dubuis of Galveston. Among the priests were Fathers Gustave A. Rouxel, later Auxiliary Bishop of New Orleans under Archbishop Chapelle, Thomas Heslin, afterwards Bishop of Natchez, and J. R. Bogaerts, vice-general under Archbishop Janssens. In 1860 the Dominican Nuns from Cabra, Ireland came to New Orleans to take charge of St. John the Baptist School and open an academy. In 1864 the Sisters of Mercy came to the city to assume charge of St. Alphonsus' School and Asylum and open a convent and boarding school, and the Marists were offered the Church of St. Michael at Convent, La. On 12 July, 1864, they assumed charge of Jefferson College founded by the state in 1835 and donated to them by Valcour Aime, a wealthy planter. The diocese was incorporated on 15 August, 1866, the legal name being "The Roman Catholic Church of the Diocese of New Orleans". In 1867 during a terrible epidemic of yellow fever and cholera, Fathers Speesberger and Seelos of the Redemptorists died martyrs of charity. Father Seelos was regarded as a saint and the cause of his beatification was introduced in Rome (1905). In 1866, owing to financial trials throughout the South, the diocesan seminary was closed. In February, 1868, Archbishop Odin founded "The Morning Star" as the official organ of the diocese, which it has continued to be.

I got a more direct hit. She is on the same page 230 in the upper left corner of New Orleans Ward 9, Orleans, Louisiana as a female student called M. Moran age 14. The listing of priests, nuns, monastery workers, students, and asylum inhabitants extend from Census Page 218 of 303 onward. I have not found where they end yet. Joan

Mimi, A collateral ancestor of mine has a similar history to your Theresa Stulz/Stultz (Sister Mary Monica). My ancestor, Maria Eva Geeck and five siblings were orphaned within a year after the family arrived in New Orleans. Maria Eva, the youngest (born 1849), was placed in St. Joseph's [German] Orphan Asylum. She was taught by the School Sisters of Notre Dame and was confirmed at St. Mary's Assumption in 1864. She entered the School Sisters of Notre Dame in 1869. She was invested in 1871 in Milwaukee as Sister Marie Alodia and was professed in 1873. She taught at St. Mary's Assumption in New Orleans and later taught at St. Alphonsus School in Baltimore, where she died of consumption [tuberculosis] in 1880 at the age of 31. I was given information about her by three different SSND archives. You might try contacting all three regarding Theresa Stulz/Stultz (Sister Mary Monica): Archivist School Sisters of Notre Dame 320 East Ripa Avenue St. Louis, MO 63125 Archivist School Sisters of Notre Dame, Milwaukee Province 1233 N. Marshall Street Milwaukee, WI 53202 Archivist School Sisters of Notre Dame, Baltimore Province 6401 North Charles Street Baltimore, MD 21212-1016 Regarding her religious name, it appears that at that time, all of the Sisters in the SSND had Marie as the first part of their name, so she was probably Marie/Maria Monika in German or Mary Monica in English. >From the SSND's Dallas Province I received a photograph of St. Joseph Orphan Asylum. I'll post this and some other data about the Asylum shortly. All of the buildings of the orphanage are now gone. They were first demolished to create the St. Thomas Housing Project, which was recently (pre-Katrina) demolished to create the St. Thomas Development: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Thomas_Development Information I received from the same office said about the records: "When St. Joseph Orphanage was closed in the 1940s, all the records were taken to Madonna Manor in Marrero (across the Mississippi River from New Orleans). The SSNDs took the records with them and when the SSNDs withdrew from Madonna Manor in the 1970s, all records were sent to Catholic Charities." The contact information for Catholic Charities is: Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans 1000 Howard Avenue New Orleans, LA 70113 Phone: (504) 523-3755 Fax: (504) 523-2789 ccano@archdiocese-no.org I tried contacting Catholic Charities to see what I could learn, but didn't get very far. You might have better luck. It's possible that the Archdiocesan Archives has records as well. We'll be interested in knowing how you do.

Hi Julie, I've been doing research on the McCarty family (originally, Macarty) for the Old New Orleans site. And what a history they have. Hope this helps. The land where this McCarty plantation stood was owned by Le Sieur de Bienville in the 1700's, and by the early 1800's, was part of a large sugar plantation owned by Mademoiselle Jeanne de Macarty. Many members of the McCarty family played notable roles in the area's history. They belonged to an aristocratic French family and one of their members married the last Spanish governor of LA. Among the high (and low) spots: One of the McCartys was mayor of N.O., one was LA Secretary of State; one of their plantations was involved in the famous slave revolt conspiracy of the early 1800's; the land that is now Metairie Cemetery belonged to a member of the McCarty family in the 1700's; in the early 1800's, a crevasse in the Mississippi River levee, at the plantation you asked about, was responsible for flooding a wide area of the city and leaving silt that created the luxuriant foliage growth responsible for giving the Garden District its name. And even the infamous and cruel Madame Lalaurie was a member of the family! From: http://nutrias.org/info/louinfo/admins/macarty.htm "Augustin Francois de Macarty who was elected the sixth Mayor of the City of New Orleans on Sept. 4, 1815, was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, January 10, 1774. He was the son of Augustin Guillaume de Macarty and Jeanne Chauvin de Lery, one of the last Spanish governors, Don Estevan Rodriguez Miro. His father, a Chevalier de Saint Louis, was born in New Orleans on May 5, 1745. He married Jeanne Chauvin de Lery, by whom he had two sons, Augustin Francois born in New Orleans January 10, 1774, and Jean Baptiste, also born in New Orleans in 1776. Augustin de Macarty’s son, Lewis Barthelmy Macarty, served as Secretary of State under Governor Claiborne in 1812, another interesting member of this aristocratic family was his aunt, Mademoiselle Jeanne de Macarty, whose vast plantations just above the city, ultimately became the site of the suburban town of Carrollton, and whose fortunes he inherited."

Does anyone know anything about the McCarty Plantation? The only thing I can find is that it was located in what we now know as Carrollton and the house on the plantation eventually became the Court House for the Carrollton. The plantation was annexed to the City of New Orleans in 1833. What I really need to know is who built/owned/lived in the McCarty Plantation. I can find nothing on the McCarty family with regard to the plantation. Any ideas? Julie Hernandez

http://www.bestofneworleans.com/dispatch/2006-02-14/blake.php This references the family who spelled their name Macarty and ties in with the story of the various itterations of the Nicholls school and the downtown location. There is a family whose name was spelled McCarty which, from what I recalled and quickly looked up, that was the "Carrollton" group. And yet another group who used the "de" before their Irish name. All the McCarty's (whatever the spelling) seemed quite prominent and wealthy, as land and slave holders, with both white and "placage" families. And were even related to the Madam LaLaurie who owned the alleged "haunted house" where she tortured her slaves and eventually perished in a fire on Royal St. If you want to research further, put the name in, then a + sign then New Orleans, LA and a whole bunch of reference articles will come up. Like this: McCarty Plantation (or substitute Macarty Plantation) + New Orleans, LA. Have fun with the research.

Looking for information on a 3x great aunt, Theresa STULZ sometimes found as STULTZ and other various spellings. She was a nun (Sisters of Notre Dame) in New Orleans. A brother's 1895 obituary states " His only surving sister in relig....[ous] Monica is Mother Superior at Notre Dame Convent in New Orleans. For her heroica.. and untiring efforts in the cause of the sufferers during the epidemic of yellow fever in New Orleans in 1877 she was highly complimented by the legislature of that state." I have found her name as Sister Monica/Monika and Sister Mary Monica/ Monika Am looking for 1860 &1870 US Census records, (1850 she was in Baltimore, MD) place of burial, and any other information that pertains to her as a nun, history of the St. Joseph's German Orphan Asylum, etc. Does anyone know where records of the Sisters of Notre Dame are kept (or the Orphan Asylum)? Does the building still exist? Photos? ANY help would be most appreciated.

Good Morning All! I sent part of this mail earlier, but I am hoping it was lost in the crowd since there were none of the usual responses. How can I get a copy of the actual Declaration? And what will it tell me? This sounds like it is just a list of names, not the actual document, unless I am misunderstanding. This is my maternal Grandfather. I have very little information on him. So far I have located hime in the 1900 Penobscot, Maine census, 1 yr in the US, living with a large group of other italian immigrants {he was actually Sicilian}. At that time it said that he was married , though no females were listed,{ no one ever mentioned another wife perhaps she never made it to the US?}18yrs and could not speak english. I finally located his WW1 draft registration, 12 Sept 1918 which listed his wife {who had to be his 2nd wife because she was not born until 1903!} No physical adress was listed, only Violet, LA in St Bernard. I also have his SS application which was not applied for until 3/17/1952. St Louis # 3 is his final resting place. I know they lived on Painters Street from the early 40's. My grandmother, Magdalena Oalmann {Kaufamnn} was apparently his 3rd wife, He was Catholic {all the kids including my self, my brother and my sister were raised Catholic. My Grandmother was Lutheran {and I believe divorced from her first husband, August Kaufmann} I do not know what Church they belonged to, but I went to Our Lady Star of the Sea in Kindergarten. In the 1900 census his birth year was stated as 1882, on the draft registration 1918 it was 1880, in 1956 it was 1881, and onhis tomb stone it was back to 1882. He died in 1968, when I was 10yrs old, and I remember his english was still not very good. I have searched the census for 1910 - 1930 {page by page} for as long as they have been available with absolutely no luck! He was a self employed farmer who sold stuff at the farmers market. I seemed to remembe hearing that he owned other property inthe ninth ward that my Grandmother sold off after he died, but not sure.
