Ms. Mary,
Sorry that the Appendix is not on the La. Div. website. I am the author but do not control the website. Here are the appendix letters you are looking for but I'm afraid they are not going to be of much help to you.

Appendix A To obtain more information about this particular veteran, consult the three volume work entitled Records of Louisiana Confederate Soldiers and Commands by Andrew B. Booth. Cross-referencing showed this particular veteran in this volume of works. Since Booth's relied heavily on individual military records, you should also seek the military and/or pension records at the Louisiana State Archives in Baton Rouge. Any soldier referenced to this Appendix appears in Booth's.

Appendix Q These soldiers are buried in the Army of Northern Virginia tomb located in Metairie Cemetery, Metairie, LA. The individual graves are not marked.

I would look to one of the local newspapers such as the Picayune for an obituary about the date of death. Other than that, I cannot tell you more about your ancestor. He apparently lived out his life in New Orleans. Perhaps he just skipped out on the census takers or worked in a job that kept him out of the city. Who knows. Hope you are able to find more about him. Good luck,
Wayne Cosby
