Hey All This is another update for those who missed it. US Gen Web Archives has moved. We Thank rootsweb all these years for the space, but as a group we feel we are old enough now to get on our own two feet and move to our own space. Hey who doesn't love rootsweb. I use them all the time for the SS# index and their obit index pages. They might have something We don't have or if it is out of town papers and I am not sure where they are, I can always check them. The move includes all state and county (parish) archive pages. Orleans Parish is at http://www.usgwarchives.org/la/orleans.htm Jefferson Parish http://www.usgwarchives.org/la/jefferso.htm All of Louisiana http://www.usgwarchives.org/la/lafiles.htm Right now the search engine is NOT working. They had so many at once on it that the new server could not handle it. So the smart people are building a new one. This takes awhile doing all the programming, then after it is built they have to feed the info into the search engines. which means basically is that the search engine has to read each file in the archives and memorize it. This is why google still picks up rootsweb sites in their search engines. They are programmed to read once a month or so, but their search engine reads every website out there that is free to the public. So until the engines catch up with themselves and us, there is NO search engine right now. One more last thing. 1. Links are broke, 2. some things haven't been linked yet, 3. search engines don't work. I have gotten all those emails, I am just not answering them one by one. I am doing it here right now. 1. Plenty of links are broke, I am still going through them to make sure they all go to the new ftp site and not rootsweb. Some one did do a find and replace, but like everything in life it isn't 100% perfect. 2. Things haven't been linked. That's all me, I have been in a depression since having to move from my hometown after Katrina and not even a year later my father died. That one hit me like a ton of bricks and I have been trying to pull myself out of the dumps. Some days are better then others. Plus my 20 year old child. Some people know and some don't but he is the kid you warn your kids to stay away from. I have tried everything but taking him out this world. But as Postal as I feel this days, I just might, I brought him into the world and I can take him out of it. 3. Search engines, see above answer again Darnell Marie Brunner Beck {Dee} "The Woman who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything."

What is the site that we used to find information in an obit? We could type in the surname and it would give us birth, death, marriage, and obits which contained this surname. Thanks for any help.
