No cemetery. Not any room by the church for anything, either. It is flush against other buildings in downtown New Orleans. I assume any burials in the old days were at the St. Louis Cemeteries. Nowadays, they bury them where ever they have a family tomb.

Norm, thank you so much for posting these records. I have grandparents and great grandparents in these records. Unfortunately, I can only translate the names and dates. Do you know anyone who is willing to translate these records (for a fee, of course). Barbara V.

I am of the line of Auguste Bertaut (not sure if this is my 3x Great Grandfather or 2x Great Grandfather) who is mentioned in this book. His granddaughter or daughter Alida Marie Bertaut was my Great Grandmother. She was married to James Monroe Breaux. Their daughter Ethelyn Catherine Breaux James was my grandmother. Can anyone tell me where Rapidan Plantation (which is where I believe his sister lived) was located and what was the name of the Plantation on which Auguste Bertaut live and if he owned it. Thank you. Barbara Ann Cangiamilla/Canciamilla
Norm, Does the book include sketches of the floor plan for the Customhouse? I understand the Customhouse was used as a prison during the Civil War, but this might have been subsequent to 1862.

To List, St. Paul Lutheran Church, founded in 1840, is the second-oldest German Protestant congregation in New Orleans. My family has been connected with this church since 1846. Despite several fires and hurricanes over the years, the records of the church have been preserved. The original records from 1840 to 1844 are at Tulane University. The records from 1844 to 1947 are now safely stored in St. Louis, Missouri. Microfilm copies of these records have been available for many years. Recently the microfilms were scanned. I have organized these scans and have placed them online here: http://freepages.religions.rootsweb.com/~neworleans/st_paul_records/ The older records can be hard to use as they are in old German script. As time permits, I am working to transcribe the indexes. Anyone who has connections with German Protestants in downtown New Orleans may find these records of interest. Information on the records of other German-language churches in New Orleans, both Catholic and Protestant, can be found here: http://freepages.religions.rootsweb.com/~neworleans/ Norm ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

Hi Judy, Thank you so much for your offer. I found a record in the Civil War section of footnote, and wonder if you might look up one page for me. The name is William E. Jubb, who served in the Navy (from Maryland) during the CW. His widow was Elenora. I would love to be able to see what is on page 8 of the pension record, as that one gives family information. If you might take a look to see his dates of birth and marriage and parents names, that would really be helpful to me. Unfortunately, I didn't find my New Orleans kin, Thomas Fitzgerald, in the other records on Footnote. But maybe I will find something in further searching. Again, thanks for your offer.

Do other researchers know Jean Joseph Le Kintreck, who I think was born at Quimper, Brittany, France. His daughter was Francoise Le Kintreck, and she was born in New Orleans. She married Andre Claude Baptiste Poiret. Their youngest child was born 1752. I think there was some connection with Illinois. Sound familiar?

I'm not sure why she spent so many pages on these two, unless they were the early founders or inhabitants of Opelousas. Does anyone know who may have taken up Douget's research and also be knowledgeable about these folks? My 5th Great Grandmother, Marie Francoise Dupont le Kintrek, who married Pierre Couturier, was the daughter of Jean Joseph Dupont le Kintrek who was married to Anne Marie Hopf [Le Boeuf] (aka -gasp!!! - [Posse, Pose, Pof, Bopff, Bopfe, Bobpfe, Poff, Le Bouf, LeBouef, Boff, Bopp, Boftz, Paul, Popff, Bopf, Bolff, Baffpan, Baftz, Yopf, Fosse, Doss] I have two bewilderments: How is Jean Joseph Dupont le Kintrek related to the Jean Joseph LeKintrek who was the partner of Jacques Courtableau.... and.... how did "Dupont" get in there.... Which was their real surname -- Dupont or LeKintrek? And who were the "half breeds" spoken of in many of the books about these folks, especially in the area of the Illinois territory? What kind of name is Le Kintrek? The "le" makes it sound French...and Dupont sounds French.... but Kintrek???? I'd appreciate being pointed in the direction of any one with knowledge about these people. I haven't found any message boards or mailing lists on Opelousas... at least not on Rootsweb....so maybe someone on this list can help.
