Index to Death Records, 1804 - 1916
Series
Scope and Contents
This index to Orleans Parish death certificates, arranged alphabetically within each year, was compiled for the New Orleans Health Department by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s. It includes very few entries prior to 1819 (only one page of names, mostly of people whose deaths were recorded retroactively) and comparatively few prior to the mid-19th century.
