I'm not sure where the Masonic Cemetery keeps their records, but chances are, if they were kept onsite on City Park Ave., their records may have been destroyed by the Katrina flooding. That's what's happened to many of the cemeteries in New Orleans.
Here's an address for them:
400 City Park Avenue
New Orleans, LA 70119
Phone Number: (504) 482-0554
Try this link for a few listings at this cemetery. You'll have to scroll down a ways:

Can someone tell me if London could have intersected Miro and Galvez Streets in 1896? I have checked several maps at various years...sometimes I see London and sometimes I don't. One map showed an intersection and the others didn't. Would Galvez have been called Grant at that time?
Also, how would it be possible (if it is at all possible) to find out the name of the people living at 175 Bayou Road in 1896? If either of these questions could be answered I would be very grateful.

I told you about my cousin and I making contact, now I need some help. She
and I both have tons of photo and documents that we want to try and figure
out who some of the relative are. Is there a website that we can us to scan
the pics and share on line, sort of like a offsite work area? And if so
which is the best and how do we go about setting it up to use? Thanks for
any suggestions.

interesting local facts. For possibly way more than you ever wanted to know:

I just wondered if it is as easy to use. Does it have the same

It looks like copper to me, Cat. Copper turns green like that. The
Statue of Liberty has the same problem. Oxidized copper turns green.
Maybe some copper polish will help?

The name in my gedcom which seems to have won the award for most variant
spellings, as found in various sources, is referred to as:
Bopff, Boff, Paul, Bopp, Boftz, Hopf, Yopf, Poff, Posse, Bobpfe, Pope,
Bolff [and even] Baffpan!
Robichaux and Deiler have referred to these folks briefly in their books.
What I'd like to know is.... what has this name evolved to today? What
would living descendants be called now?
Very curious.

It's on Ancestry.com. Use the advanced search and select "military" as the

Hi,
Back in January I posted a query about the term 'cadet branch.' I don't
think I was very clear in the way I phrased my posting.
Today, I came across another reference to it in a book.... Here's the
quote. Maybe someone can explain what it means:
"In 1613 Frederick of the Palatinate had married Elizabeth Stuart,
daughter of James I of England, granddaughter of Mary Queen of Scots,
and great-grandmother of Marie de Guise -- and Guise was the cadet
branch of the house of Lorraine."
So... that "ca

Ellen,
No. 154 Antonine Street appears to be in the block
between Magazine and Camp, closer to Camp. However,
the building numbers in that area on Camp Street (in
the old system) were in the 900s (old system), and are
in todays 3600 block. That would put it nowhere near
No. 212 Camp (old system) or todays equivalent, the
800 block.

Thanks for the link. If those CDs are anything like the books, they will be well worth the money, especially to genealogists who don't have access to the books through their local libraries.
I've used Fr. Hebert's book for my South Louisiana research and they saved me many, many hours in courthouses and archives searching dusty records, hoping to find "something".

Barbara forwarded to me an email from Anna Langley asking about the condition of St. Joseph #2 Cemetery.
I phoned today and the woman answering the phone said they had water there and that some tombstones were turned over also a few vases. No more or less that the other cemeteries in the city.
Barbara, please forward Anna M. Langley .

May I suggest that you NEVER destroy photographs you can't identify. You
never know when someone will see them and say, "I know who that is".
Alfred -
There was an older gentleman who was sometimes in the office (I
believe it was between #1 & #2 - I can't remember offhand). He didn't
keep regular hours. He had the listings in a book (I don't believe
anything was on computer - at least it wasn't last time I went).
He was a very helpful person.
I also have no idea of the status of all this stuff post-K.
