Louisiana: General Information

This state is called the "sugar state" because of the production of sugar cane and sweet potatoes. Louisiana is the thirty-first largest state in the United States. It has an area of 134 649 km², and the state's largest cities are New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, and Lafayette. The state capital is the city of Baton Rouge.

Mining, transportation, agriculture, industry, and tourism are the most important economic sectors. One can thus conclude that the great majority of the nation's adults are employed in these industries or in areas related to them.

Louisiana: The People

While Louisiana is the thirty-first largest state in land area, it is the twenty-fifth largest in population. In 2020 Louisiana had a population of 4,661,000 people, more than 46,048 died. This state is also recognized by the great number of celebrities who were born here and who became famous not only in the United States, but also outside the states. You know many of them: Ellen Lee DeGeneres, Karl Malone, Chloe Bridges, Britney Spears and many other famous people.

But the state of Louisiana is not only famous for its celebrities. The state is also home to a huge number of people, each with their own story to tell. Finding out a public person's story is easy: just search the Internet and you'll find all the information you need. With non-public people, everything is somewhat more complicated: about them not so much information in the public domain, but it still is. For example, using search services, you can learn the history of the deceased person and find his obituary.

Obituaries: what they are and how to use them

An obituary is a kind of plaque of a person. Obituaries can be brief or more detailed. As a rule, brief obituaries contain information about the person: sex, name and surname, date of birth and death, place of birth and death, the person's age. In more expanded versions to the basic information is added information about where the person lived, what he did, what was his family and other information.

Such obituaries you can find on our site.

How do I search for an obituary?

Since Louisiana is the thirty-first largest state, it can still take a long time to find a deceased person. It is possible to reduce this time if you build a proper search system right away.

The first thing to pay attention to and that can help you is to get as much accurate information about the person as possible. Naturally, the first and last name is the most important, but you may also need information such as place of residence, place of work and date of death.

Second, you can check available online databases of obituaries. Search engines can help you with this.

A more complicated way is to try to find a newspaper that may have published information about the deceased person. But it is desirable to know the city and even the area where the person lived, to narrow down the search.

There is a way that combines all three: you can go to one of the public libraries in Louisiana. Libraries are staffed by professionals who can tell you how to do your search properly. Many libraries have information about people who have been dead for more than two centuries.

You can use the state filter on this site to find information about people who have died in that state. You can also filter by first and last name, city, and date of death.
