Cases are typically open for 30 days and then at the conclusion of the staff member’s findings they write up a official letter of the cases’ outcome and the Senator’s State Office Manager reviews it before the Senator reviews and signs the letter (at least that’s how it works in my state). People tend to be much more responsive and with a greater sense of urgency when a staff member of a US Senator calls them seeking information or records on behalf of constituents. Best of luck.

I suppose this is an option, but it's not really necessary in most cases--especially given that this man died 70 years ago. Just a request for a death certificate via the correct office should suffice. Sometimes, it's easier to call if trying to obtain online poses a challenge.

Gentlemen,
Thank you so lunch for your replies�.
I�m finding that Louisiana is a closed record state�� just means this is going to be tougher than usual.

I have been advised to go to �vital records� by several and when I do, the problems that I run into is:

When trying to apply for a death certificate: it won�t let me go back any further than 1900 (on the birthdate�

Same issue when I go the birth certificate route

I�ve been pointed towards ancestry.com �.. I have never messed around with that but apparently if it exists, it�ll be in that data base ??

Worth a shot, I guess
