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 -----Original Message----- From: laorlean-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:laorlean-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Norm Hellmers Sent: Friday, April 06, 2012 8:31 PM To: laorlean@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [LAORLEAN] Looking or Death Certificates/Records/Notices Tanya, Are you trying to find where someone was buried in NewOrleans?

I have been told that (but then they gave the info anyway!)

Yesterday I contacted a cemetery in Chicago to ask about burials there. I gave them a name and they verified the burial and gave me the grave location. When I asked who else was buried in the plot, they refused to give me this information because of "the privacy act & identify theft". However if I could provide proof of relationship, then they could give me the info. When I mentioned that I could get the same info by visiting the grave, they replied that I could but they still could not provide the information. This is the first time that I have encountered this situation. Other cemeteries have sent me plot layouts as well as ownership information within the last couple of years. Has anyone else run into this situation? Is what I am being told accurate and true?

Has anyone had any experience with this website? They say they can give me information on cemetery records such as: - Cemetery location and map - Index of burial records - Cross reference with SSDI - Cause of death and age - Photos and images - Full names and ages (including maiden names) - Names of close relatives and more! They offer a 7 day free trial but you are required to give them credit card info to access the requested into during the trial period. I am leery of these type sites, especially how easy is it to cancel an unwanted membership.

I'm glad the site worked so well for you, Sally. Steve Morse's One Step site (http://stevemorse.org/) has many interesting genealogical shortcuts.

Tanya,   Are you trying to find where someone was buried in New Orleans? This can often be challenging.   Tell us what you already know about your person (e.g., name, date of death, place of death, date of birth, name of spouse, where did the person live, etc.). Have you looked for an obituary?   There are many cemeteries in New Orleans, so it would be difficult to “just call the cemeteries.” There are things you can do depending on what the circumstances are of the person you’re looking for.   Norm ________________________________ From: Tanya <tanya273@yahoo.com> How do you find in which cemetery a relative is buried?  I actually have a death certificate for a relative but can't find where he's buried.  Do you just call the cemeteries and ask them?  Or, is there somewhere to research?

Thanks so much, Norm.  This was extremely helpful to me.

When you know the address, you can find the location using Google Maps or a similar program. A comparison can be made between the current map and the 1940 maps. The ED number can then be located. (All of the New Orleans EDs begin with “36-“, such as “36-251.”)   Note that one of the maps includes a listing of institutions that are included in their own EDs. See: http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~neworleans/1940_nola_eds/d3_15_of_16_m-a3378-00024-00800.jpg   I hope this is useful. Using these maps, I have so far found both sets of my grandparents.   The webpage with all of the maps is here: http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~neworleans/1940_nola_eds/   Norm ________________________________ From: Jan Delgehausen <msdelge@cox.net> I bypassed Ancestry.com and went to Archives.gov where you can search the entire 1940 Census. I have already found my husband’s family in Minnesota.  It will take me a little longer to figure out Enumeration Districts for New Orleans, but I will, as time permits.
