I am forwarding this query for someone who contacted me for information
on her grandmother. She has researched in St. Tammany Parish but has
been unable to find anything on her so thought perhaps she might be
buried in one of the other parishes nearby.

Hello Lists,
My Grandmother was living in Louisiana when she died. I am trying to
find
where she was buried. Her name was SARAH VAN LONG. I believe she died
Nov.22,1922. Her maiden name was SPEIRS. She and Granddad owned property
in
St.Tammany Parish from 1917 to 1923 when he sold the property. In 1923
the
deed stated that he was unmarried. Also I have a report from Schoen
Funeral
Home in Covington,La. that has a SARAH V. LONG that died on Jan.22,1926.
I'm
not sure if it is her. It stated that her daughters took care of the
arrangements. No place of burial was mentioned.
Any help or thoughts on how to go about finding where she is buried
would
be most appriciated.
Thank You
Bonnie

Former teacher explores cemeteries for genealogy site
Belford Carver knows where the bodies are buried in Tangipahoa Parish.
By CRAIG MALISOW, Daily Star Staff Writer October 11, 2000
Belford Carver knows where the bodies are buried in Tangipahoa Parish.
Armed with a tape recorder and a deep curiosity of genealogy, the retired
Southeastern Louisiana University business professor has crisscrossed the
parish to gather tombstone information for the WorldGenWeb Project.
Launched in 1996, the project includes genealogical information from nearly
every country in the world.
Carver and nearly 200 other volunteers throughout Louisiana have sent data to
parish and state archive managers who file parish-specific historical
information online.
Although Carver's niche is headstones, other archival records include
military, census and church records, obituaries and records of slave trades.
After logging on, interested viewers can tap resources from any parish in the
state, as well as national and international historical records.
"There's a lot of interest in genealogy today," Carver said. "And it's very
helpful when you have something handy in a library or on a computer. It is a
very helpful reference source."
Although more than 200 parish cemeteries have been logged so far, Carver said
there are many more to record. Therefore, volunteers are always welcome.
"I just enjoy cemeteries," volunteer Doris Hoover Johnston said. "You can
just think about these people and all this past and all this history."
Johnston, the secretary of Bedico's Stanga Cemetery Board, first became
interested in genealogy 30 years ago when she helped plan a 50th wedding
anniversary for an aunt. She pitched in for a family tree book and became so
interested in tracing her roots that she enrolled in a genealogy class at
Louisiana State University.
Carver and Johnston shared a genealogical influence in the late Ronald Evans
of Independence, who recorded a lot of cemetery information from the
mid-1970s until his death in 1998.
Evans was compiling a third volume of historical data when he died, Carver
said. That information provided a lot of the online material.
"I just felt like some of this stuff was sitting in a closet and filing
cabinets and ... going to waste," Carver said.
"I'm really glad to have it done," Polly Evans said of the GenWeb project.
Volunteer Don Johnson of Hungarian Settlement is glad to have the information
online as well. He has been interested in genealogy since the 1960s, when he
started tracing his family's roots to follow the path of a genetic disorder
he suffers from.
Johnson is now the archive file manager for St. Helena Parish.
Because the state of Louisiana did not issue birth or death certificates
prior to 1916, biographical information from sources such as tombstones is
especially vital, he said.
"The idea is to protect the record ... because sometimes that's the only
record available, that's on the tombstone," he said.
Although volunteers may one day record all the cemetery data in the state,
there will always be new sources to be researched, Johnson said.
"You never get everything you can get," he said. "It'll never finish."
The Louisiana GenWeb homepage's address is www.rootsweb.com/~lagenweb/.
p.s. it is in the community news section.
