"wall vault in Square E, no. 2225, Row I, St. Joseph's aisle" The maps don't show anything like that.  Cem # 1 and Cem # 2 only show up to 3-digit numbers, not 4 digits.  Perhaps they've changed the numbering system in more recent years?

Is there a map? An article by Barbara Trevigne published in the October 2010 New Orleans Genesis gives the location of the burial place of John Montagne, died August 23, 1885, as a wall vault in Square E, no. 2225, Row I, St. Joseph's aisle. This is from the St. Roch Interments book, vol. 1 (1882-1907) Campo Santo, which I accessed on microfilm at NOPL. I'm sure this is the person I'm looking for (Jean Montanee) because the interment record gives his death date, age, race, and the place where he died. I assume that he is interred is in the older, front cemetery. I went there to look for his wall vault, but could find no Square E and no St. Joseph's aisle. There used to be a sexton there to help visitors, but no more. Carolyn Long

Merry Christmas Everyone, I'm aware of the three major languages used in recording our family lives during the French, Spanish, and English speaking/writing control of New Orleans, and its effect on our attempts to track a person's vital records. Such as Jacque, Santiago, and Jack [all being the same person]. However, does anyone know if "August(e)" translates to "William" ??? Many Thanks, Harold Wilkinson Pensacola, FL

I think Guillaume (sp?) is the French for William.

No it does not. In French, William is Guillaume.
