She's just around the corner from the edifice Nicholas Cage built to house his remains. There's another old cemetary out in the Garden District which is more peaceful IMO.

I've been to my father's birth place in Wisconsin, but I'd have to travel to Ireland to research my maternal roots. I'd love to do that if I knew how. However, if you're going to be that close to New Orleans, you really should go. Your husband's ancestors probably did (grin).Donna MacMeanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10310857800824141312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-5636852681621254532015-12-09T18:38:09.380-05:002015-12-09T18:38:09.380-05:00Hi erin!
