Norm and everyone, This raises an interesting question. My g-g uncle, Adam Born, died 16 July, 1883 in New Orleans, and had lived at 123 Dryades Street. Block 262. His brother, Jacob Born, and all his side of the family were buried in Lafayette Cemetery #1. But all Adam Born's family were buried in Greenwood Cemetery. But neither he nor his wife Charlotte Hahn Born (dod 2 Nov 1905) seem to be buried in Greenwood Cemetery. I have actually written a letter to the Greenwood Cemetery, explaining to them that he was a Fireman with the Hall of Jackson Fire Company #18, and that they all honored him at his funeral, but no signs of where he is buried seem to be found. Does anyone have any ideas about this? (I have checked Findagrave, as well.) Is this a case, perhaps, of sloppy record-keeping? It doesn't make sense to me that he is not there. I also have his obituary, that does not mention where he was to be buried.

This can often be challenging. Tell us what you already know about your person (e.g., name,date of death, place of death, date of birth, name of spouse, where did theperson live, etc.). Have you looked for an obituary? There are many cemeteries in New Orleans, so it would bedifficult to “just call the cemeteries.” There are things you can do dependingon what the circumstances are of the person you’re looking for.

I actually have a death certificate for a relative but can't find where he's buried. Do you just call the cemeteries and ask them? Or, is there somewhere to research?

Kathy, Have you ever looked for both in the actual interment records of Lafayette Cemetery No. 1? These are available at the NOPL. See: http://nutrias.org/guides/genguide/burialrecords.htm#mun   These records are also available through any Family History Center (which the LDS is now apparently referring to as FamilySearch Centers). See: https://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titlefilmnotes&columns=*%2C0%2C0&titleno=50170&disp=Lafayette+cemeteries+no.+1+and+2%2C+Ne++   Norm ________________________________ From: Kathy Cochran <kathys_old_house@goldrush.com> Norm and everyone, This raises an interesting question.  My g-g uncle, Adam Born, died 16 July, 1883 in New Orleans, and had lived at 123 Dryades Street.  Block 262.  His brother, Jacob Born, and all his side of the family were buried in Lafayette Cemetery #1.  But all Adam Born's family were buried in Greenwood Cemetery.  But neither he nor his wife Charlotte Hahn Born (dod 2 Nov 1905) seem to be buried in Greenwood Cemetery.  I have actually written a letter to the Greenwood Cemetery, explaining to them that he was a Fireman with the Hall of Jackson Fire Company #18, and that they all honored him at his funeral, but no signs of where he is buried seem to be found.  Does anyone have any ideas about this?  (I have checked Findagrave, as well.)  Is this a case, perhaps, of sloppy record-keeping?  It doesn't make sense to me that he is not there.
