I'm having trouble understanding the location on a Death Certificate for 1892. According to the death certificate he died at Waters and Washingtion. The obit reads that the funeral will take place at his residence, corner of Washington and Waters. I've looked at a map for 1890 and Water and Washington are no where near each other. I've also looked to see if Water Street may have had a name change, but couldn't find any. I've check the city directory for him and it looks like he is missing 1892 and 1893. I'm hoping someone may have the answer I can't find. Bridgette
March 9, 1781 Spanish siege of Pensacola begins After successfully capturing British positions in Louisiana and Mississippi, Spanish General Bernardo de Galvez, commander of the Spanish forces in North America, turns his attention to the British-occupied city of Pensacola, Florida, on this day in 1781. General Galvez and a Spanish naval force of more than 40 ships and 3,500 men landed at Santa Rosa Island and begin a two-month siege of British occupying forces that becomes known as the Battle of Pensacola. Galvez’s flotilla survived a hurricane in harbor before initiating two months of constant artillery and cannon bombardment of the British forts. By April 23, reinforcements had arrived, increasing Galvez’s total force to 7,800 and, on the morning of May 8, 1781, the 18-year British occupation of Pensacola, Florida, ended with a British surrender. The British lost 105 men; the Spanish lost 78. An additional 198 Spaniards were wounded. Spain took 1,113 prisoners and sent 300 Britons to Georgia on the promise that they would not reenter the British military. Spain never officially signed an alliance with the American revolutionaries, as King Charles III was hesitant about the precedent he might be starting by encouraging the population of another empire to overthrow their monarch. However, Spain also wanted to regain Gibraltar in the Mediterranean and solidify control of its North American holdings, so it allied itself to France in the international war against Britain. As a result, Spain regained West Florida during the fighting and East Florida, which it exchanged for the Bahamas, in the final peace. Though Gibraltar remained in British control, Spain held all the land surrounding the Gulf of Mexico. ************** It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms, and advice on AOL Money & Finance.

Peggy & Cat, Thanks for the tips. I will try those and see what I can dig up. LynnB.
yeah, I think they were a group of bandits that were listed in the Mafia page that I found. I did not know the translation of Leone.

Is it possible that this is not a musical band, but a banding together of men for some other purpose? Leone would be Italian for Lion.

I am researching my Leone family that came into New Orleans around 1868. I found an illustrated history of New Orleans at a used book store the last time I was there. There is a section about Esposito in there and says that his boat was named the Leone after his Sicilian mountain band. Does anyone have any info about the origins of the name of his band? Also, I am now researching the extended family. My Leone family moved to Louisville, Ky in the late 1800's my great aunt Fortuna married Joseph Russo.

Another possibility would be the Historic New Orleans Collection. You can email them to find out. http://www.hnoc.org/ or the notary archives: http://www.notarialarchives.org/contact.htm At 12:14 PM 3/7/2008, you wrote: >Does anyone know how I would go about getting information about a realtor >who was doing business in New Orleans in the late 1930 early 1940's? >I would love to obtain a copy of her real estate license if there is one >available.

Lynn B - You might try the Louisiana Real Estate Commission (formed in 1920). http://www.lrec.state.la.us/ I don't know what info they have, but hopefully they will have something for you or, if not, be able to give you a good lead. peggy -----Original Message----- >From: LynnB <lynnb@dnacom.com> >Sent: Mar 7, 2008 12:14 PM >To: LAORLEAN@rootsweb.com >Subject: [LAORLEAN] Historical Realtor Records > > >Does anyone know how I would go about getting information about a realtor >who was doing business in New Orleans in the late 1930 early 1940's? >I would love to obtain a copy of her real estate license if there is one >available.

Does anyone know how I would go about getting information about a realtor who was doing business in New Orleans in the late 1930 early 1940's? I would love to obtain a copy of her real estate license if there is one available. I think I know which real estate firm she was with. Any ideas? Thanks, Lynn B.
Hi I read your message and I would like to take you up on your offer. I need any information on the ALL family and the WHIPPLE family.

I agree with Tamara. My favorite genealogical book haunt is Arcadian Books, 714 Orleans Street. 504-523-4138. It's directly behind the Cathedral about 1/2 block up Orleans on the left. Look for the shingle hanging outside or you'll miss it. Either that, or I like the used book sales put on by the Jefferson Parish Library (next weekend at the Ponchartrain Center) and the Symphony Book Fair which will be May 15-17 at Delgado Community College.

I am driving to New Orleans on Saturday (2 days from now) and plan to visit the Public Library to do genealogy research. I want to look up names who lived in New Orleans, Lafayette Co., and perhaps DeSoto Co., MS, Arkansas, and Texas. I'll look for marriage, probate, city directories, perhaps obits, etc. Where else besides the library can I find records? Is there a genealogy society and if so what is their address. I'll be staying near the French Quarter. Where is the courthouse? Thanks. Marian ************** It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms, and advice on AOL Money & Finance.

You can make this request directly to the New Orleans Library. The last time I ordered any they were $2.00 each. Anne **************It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms, and advice on AOL Money & Finance. (http://money.aol.com/tax?NCID=aolprf00030000000001)
