okay, I'm stumped. I found the New Orleans Bee online at the JP library site. Do you really have to read every paper for every day to find an obit that may not even be there? Okay, I'm stupid. I need help. :>) Thanks, Cheramie People say "High Maintenance!" like it's a bad thing.
The obituary in the Bee was usually published the day after the person died. If a person died on April 14, the obituary would on April 15 & generally on first page about 6th column. When I research the Bee online I check how many pages are listed for the particular month & guesstimate where that day's issue will be. Then it's a matter of going backwards or forwards til you find what you need.

That has been my experience also. It is too bad that they don't have a search engine. There is another free website which has some Louisiana newspaper articles....something like Newspaper archives...which I stumbled onto one time on-line. I can't remember the exact URL and I'm on my laptop right now, but will look for that later. You might try googling for it.

Here is the URL for the free newspaper archives. http://freenewspaperarchives.us/south.aspx and if you click on the Louisana one you will be here: http://louisdl.louislibraries.org/cdm4/browse.php?CISOROOT=/LSU_LNP Looks like about 71 entries.
