Hi Listers,

I am subscribing temporarily to suggest to everyone that they pay a visit to
the New Orleans, Louisiana rootswb site at:

<A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/la/orleans.htm">Orleans Parish Archives</A>

<A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/la/orleans.htm">http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/la/orleans.htm</A>;

I am one of the coordinators of the site and have been transcribing the
admission records to the public hospital there (called Charity Hospital even
today) for the 1850s.  New Orleans was one of the major ports for immigration
in the 1850s, so that amny people from Ireland settled in New Orleans or else
passed through the city on the way to points further north such as St. Louis,
Cincinnati, and parts of Iowa and Tennessee.  Not only I am transcribing the
admission for certain surnames, I have recently begun to do the records from
1851.  I am finished with January and February so far - a total of 3400 names
or so.

In doing this, I came across an individual from Co. Derry (Londonderry), and
decided to temporariliy join your list and post his name, in hopes that
someone can connect with him. 

The columns are:  Date of Admission, Date of Death, Date of Discharge,
Hospital Ward, Name, Occupation, Place of Birth, Age (in Jan or Feb 1851)

Even if you do not connect to any of these names, you might want to visit our
site anyway, as we have posted hundreds of thousands of vital records,
immigration records, complete city directories listed by name and then
separately by address (1811, 1822, 1832, 1842, and 1851), American Civil War
draft records, lists of victims of various yellow fever epidemics, cemetery
records, and tens of thousands of obits.

I am joining various rootsweb lists for the various birthplaces I find in the
admission records and suggesting people researching that location visit our
site.  On occasion, I have been contacted by someone who has been able to
find their long lost relatives thanks to my postings like this.

I am not going to stay on the list, however if you have any questions, please
contact me at .  I cannot answer all inquiries, but I will do
my best.

Good luck with your research.
