How to Search for Daily News Obituaries in Louisiana

Uncovering your family’s history is easier than you think. Here’s how you can efficiently search for obituaries in the Daily News:

Start by entering the last name of a relative and click “Search” to uncover more discoveries about your family. Download our free guide, “Tips for Searching Titles,” for extra assistance.

If you’re trying to get more information on a specific relative, follow these steps to perform an advanced search:

• Step 1: Begin with the full name of your relative, and adding a middle name can help narrow down the results.
• Step 2: Use a keyword like a school or town to focus your search.
• Step 3: Exclude certain keywords to avoid unrelated results.
• Step 4: Set a year range, which is particularly useful since our records go back almost 150 years.
• Step 5: Change how the results are sorted—by best matches, newest, or oldest—to better locate what you’re seeking.

Helpful Tips for Improving Your Search:

• Begin with recent family members, then work your way back to older ones.
• Try searching by initials, as older obituaries often used them instead of full names.
• If you’re looking for information about a female relative, try searching with her husband’s name.
• Consider common misspellings, as names weren't always spelled correctly in older records.
