Update: X10hosting is no longer hosting the community. New URL http://louisianacemeteries.100webspace.net Due to spam the wiki has been closed. Feel free to continue to email requests, however, unless an email is sent directly to louisianacemeteries@yahoo.com I will NOT be able to respond.
There have been a few changes, although, not of my own undertaking with the web hosting for Louisiana Cemetery Preservation. The URL is now http://louisianacemeteries.x10host.com/index2/ . Our free webhosting x10hosting.com, needed to change the URL on October 1, 2012.
Links need to be updated at the free Angelfire hosted website. Please be patient. It appears that the Facebook community has also experienced a few URL changes. I have submitted a support ticket to Facebook for the issues and hopefully this will be resolved soon.
You may always count on the wiki. This website has been very reliable since November 2007. http://louisianacemeteries.wikispaces.com .

Tolendano Street Cemetery - Unknown cemetery Orleans Parish
Does anyone have any idea about the history around S. Tonti Street in New Orleans? Here is a map from 1895 that illustrates a cemetery on the Illinois Central American Railroad just above S. Tonti and likely within a 1/4 mile of that street.
The map is 116 years old and the area has changed BUT the streets below the cemetery have not changed names. There are many street name changes in New Orleans over the past 100 years or so. The location of 4th Street was critical in placing the cemetery on a modern day Google map near a railroad. There are many cemeteries to the NORTH and EAST and WEST of this location. I just love old maps. A little farther Northeast would place the cemetery at the Superdome. I just don't know the name of this cemetery and cant seem to find it anywhere.
