From Norm Hellmers: The Orleans Parish (New Orleans) death records are generally listed as beginning in 1804, however there are only two records from 1804. The death records are sparse until the 1820s. The indexes at the Louisiana State Archives in Baton Rouge are the most up to date, going now to 1954. (Death records are kept private for 50 years, but a person who has a right to a record can order a copy.) The Ancestry.com online death index covers 1804 to 1949. The online Orleans Parish Archives currently goes up to 1915, with work apparently proceeding now on 1916. It, of course, is free. The available indexes can be found on the Orleans Parish pages of the USGenWeb Archives Project. Also see: Death Index Alphabetical Listings
