The one case I know about was when Dr. Louis Lalaurie arrived in New Orleans on the ship Fanny from Bordeaux in 1825. It was a commercial ship carrying mostly cargo for various merchants, plus about eight passengers. There was a passenger list filled out by the captain.

The 1940 Directory is not completely uploaded yet on Ancestry and does not go to T yet. Found a directory for 1942 on Ancestry, listed by streets, but no Trepagnier listed. But in the 1938 Directory, I found Henry L Trapagnier listed at 1424 (listed between Pitt Intersect and Garfield Intersect) and BTW, down the street from Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity House which is at 1435 .... None of these directories on Ancestry are indexed yet, so have to be searched. Hope this helps...

To all of you who so kindly looked up the information on my grandfather Henry L. Trepagnier (yes that was the way it should have been spelled), thank you. The house that Google shows is correct, it was a white, two story with 4 pillars. With the information that I received from all of you I was able to find my father and all his family in the census at 1424 Henry Clay Ave. Now if I could just find my mother and mother-in-law (unfortunately they were not from New Orleans). Thank you all! NT jcntsmith@aol.com

You usually can't verify the house number accurately (at least, I never have been able to). The numbers are off by a few houses to a few blocks.

Years ago (early 1980s) I ran into this with the New Orleans Archdiocesan Cemeteries. I was not related to the person interred there, so was not able to get the information for the decorated wall vault in St. Louis 1 in which I was interested. On the other hand, Alana Mendoza of Archdiocesan Cemeteries has more recently given me the ownership and interrment record for the Marie Laveau and Delphine Macarty Lalaurie tombs in St. Louis 1.

I'm late in replying to this because I've been in Guatemala and without e-mail access. To answer your questions: the Conveyance Office is in the same high-rise office building as the Notarial Archives, 1340 Poydras, right across from City Hall. They are open Monday - Friday, I think 9 - 5. Note that, unlike some of the other archival repositories, the staff at the Conveyance Office isn't very helpful. Ask for the Index to Purchasers and Vendors to look for your ancestors. The books (seperate books for vendors and purchasers) are arranged roughly by year (consult the chart on the wall) and roughly alphabetically within each book--for example, if you're looking for "Lalaurie" as I was, that would be in the LA section--there would also be LE, LI, LO, and LU. That will give you a citation for a volume and page in the Conveyance Office Books--COBs. When you find that, it will give you a summary of the transation, the date, and the notary. It might be written in English but more likely in French (I've never seen one in German, but maybe so for German-speakers). Then, if you want even more detail, go downstairs to the Notarial Archives Research Center and access the actual notarial act. Although familys often used the same notary for years, this wasn't always so, and if your person was the purchaser in the transaction, the vendor might have been using his/her own notary. Hope this helps.

I'm not a bit surprised that a CHICAGO area cemetery staff refused to give out information.  They are very strict, in fact, many of the cemeteries in that area don't want people photographing the graves unless they can prove a relationship to the deceased!  Find A Grave volunteers have been refused permission to photograph numerous times.  The problem is mostly with the privately owned cemeteries, not the church-related grave yards. I've done lots of Chicago research and belong to the Chicago Genealogical Society and Illinois Genealogical Society, as well as being on the Cook County maillist.  What you're describing is a common complaint I read about all the time.  Everyone is so frustrated.  Not only do Chicago cemeteries limit information on the recently deceased but also on the people who died 150+ years ago!  It makes no sense, especially when one considers the death and burial information is and was commonly listed in newspapers at the time of death. I've often been grateful that dealing with the New Orleans area and South Louisiana burials records, the cemeteries have been more than helpful and accommodating. As an aside, be aware some Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, privately owned cemeteries are gradually adopting the restrictive policy (if they bother to answer you queries).

Kathy, Have you ever looked for both in the actual interment records of Lafayette Cemetery No. 1? These are available at the NOPL. See: http://nutrias.org/guides/genguide/burialrecords.htm#mun   These records are also available through any Family History Center (which the LDS is now apparently referring to as FamilySearch Centers). See: https://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titlefilmnotes&columns=*%2C0%2C0&titleno=50170&disp=Lafayette+cemeteries+no.+1+and+2%2C+Ne++   Norm ________________________________ From: Kathy Cochran <kathys_old_house@goldrush.com> Norm and everyone, This raises an interesting question.  My g-g uncle, Adam Born, died 16 July, 1883 in New Orleans, and had lived at 123 Dryades Street.  Block 262.  His brother, Jacob Born, and all his side of the family were buried in Lafayette Cemetery #1.  But all Adam Born's family were buried in Greenwood Cemetery.  But neither he nor his wife Charlotte Hahn Born (dod 2 Nov 1905) seem to be buried in Greenwood Cemetery.  I have actually written a letter to the Greenwood Cemetery, explaining to them that he was a Fireman with the Hall of Jackson Fire Company #18, and that they all honored him at his funeral, but no signs of where he is buried seem to be found.  Does anyone have any ideas about this?  (I have checked Findagrave, as well.)  Is this a case, perhaps, of sloppy record-keeping?  It doesn't make sense to me that he is not there. I also have his obituary, that does not mention where he was to be buried.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Kathy Cochran San Andreas, California
