Re: St Louis Cemetery Storm Damage?

"...Many, but not all, of the old crypts are uprooted in New Orleans, and I can only hope that the restoration efforts include repairing/remounting them. Jackson Barracks, in the 9th Ward, received flooding as well."

Terry, thanks for the information. Sounds like this will be a tough clean-up job, especially if the name plates become separated from the crypts. Some records and plates have become lost over the years anyway, which, for example, is why the exact crypt location of BGen James deBerty Trudeau, M.D. (1817-87) in St Louis No. 1 is unknown.

Hope that Jackson Barracks' historical records were not majorly damaged.
