Before going to the WPA index, can you tell us the name of the wife of Andre/Andrew? Do you have her death date? An obituary? Do you know where she is buried? Perhaps family had Andre/Andrew buried with her. Norm ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I have also found him on several census.  I am trying to find the information for our family tree but also my great aunt who is 92 has asked me to try to find it to take her to visit andt seems that no one in the family knows where he's buried.  So, it's been a mission of mine to try to locate his grave. I do have a question.  I am pretty new to this as I've been doing family research on my own for the past 3 years.  But, I'm not familiar with the WPA index for the three St. Louis cemeteries.  Where is this and how do I use it?  Thanks for all of your help!  Thanks again, Tanya ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to LAORLEAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Tanya, Here is some information about the WPA Cemetery Index. This index is one of the most valuable research tools available regarding burial locations in New Orleans. The index was a WPA project in the 1930s and was a recording of tomb inscriptions and an indexing of cemetery records from many New Orleans cemeteries. The records are arranged by cemetery. The original card index still exists and is housed at the Historical Center of the Louisiana State Museum (the Old Mint), in New Orleans. The index has been microfilmed and is available at the New Orleans Public Library, the Historic New Orleans Collection, the Louisiana State Archives, and through Family History Centers. They are listed in the FHL online catalog by the individual cemeteries. Microfilm copies are available at:      Louisiana Division at the New Orleans Public Library           http://nutrias.org/~nopl/guides/genguide/burialrecords.htm#tombstone      Historic New Orleans Collection           http://www.hnoc.org/      Louisiana State Archives, Baton Rouge           http://www.sos.louisiana.gov/tabid/88/Default.aspx Microfilm copies may be ordered through any Family History Center.      http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/library/FHC/frameset_FHC.asp The specific FHL microfilm numbers for each cemetery’s index can be found here: http://goo.gl/Te2HD or here: http://goo.gl/YsPRS The microfilm numbers for St. Louis Cemetery No. 3 (up to 1935) can be found here: http://goo.gl/NAzCq Additional information on the WPA index is available here: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/laorlean/2004-10/1099270587 http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/laorlean/2004-10/1099270601 Unfortunately, these records are not yet available online. Let me know if you have any further questions. Norm ________________________________ . . .
