I would like to know if anyone on this wonderful list could point me in the direction to find information on my g,g, grandmother.  I did a search of Google Books and found her listed in"Report of cases argued and determined in the Supreme Court of Louisiana - 1875 Vol. 27".  The case was Stewart Widow vs. VM Killmartin and JB Davis page 456.  My grandmother's name was Virginia Sarah Moore Killmartin who died in NO in 1883.  I would like to know where I could find information on the original case before it went to the Supreme Court.  Thanks for any assistance.  Patti

I was able to find information concerning my great great grandfather's case that went before the Louisiana Supreme Court during that same period from the University of New Orleans Library Special Collections that had scanned some of the Louisiana Supreme Court files. You might try there. The library personnel were very helpful. It was all done via the Internet & didn't require a visit to the library.

The case would have been tried first in one of the lower courts. If the court record still exists, it will be in the City ARchives, Louisiana Division of the New Orleans Public Library. Go to their web page, http://www.nutrias.org/~nopl/spec/speclist.htm and click on Orleans Parish Courts Finding Aids and Indexes. To get the Louisiana Supreme Court case, you can first read the published abstract in the book you cited below, and you can also get photocopies of the entire court transcript. Contact Florence Jumonville, Chair, Louisiana and Special Collections Department, Earl K. Long Library, University of New Orleans, at [email protected] There's a trick to discovering the docket number, which the library staff needs to access the records, but Dr. Jumonville should be able to help you with that. The good thing about court records, unlike notarial and sacramental (Catholic Church) records, is that they're usually in English. Sometimes the Supreme Court records are extremely long and detailed, and you can learn an amazing amount of personal information about the parties. But not always.
