 Series

Scope and Contents

Records name, age, dates of admission, discharge or death, occupation, marital status, length of time in New Orleans, last place lived in, and birth place, often listing the town or country as well as the country of origin. Some enslaved people are included in the antebellum admissions to Charity. Most volumes are indexed.
