Brian Joseph Oster 
27 Aug 1952 - 20 April, 2011

Brian Joseph Oster, was the dedicated webmaster for the La Societe des Cajuns 
website and passed away on Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at the age of 58.  He was 
born August 27, 1952 in New Orleans. Brian's maternal ancestry took his 
genealogical endeavors to Lafourche Parish but he didn't stop there. He extended 
his research to his paternal beginnings in Missouri. All of this information was 
housed in Brian's considerable website providing free genealogical information 
for all who needed it.

Brian donated the web space that housed the La Societe des Cajun website in 2000 
due to his dedication in preserving the South Lafourche area.  Brian had put 
countless hours into maintaining and improving the overall look of the website 
so those that wanted to research the South Lafourche and Missouri area had a 
place to find information.

I am personally thankful that I was able to work with such a dedicated person in 
trying to carry on the work that Robert "Bob" Looper had started.  When Bob 
Looper, Velton Guidry and I set out to inventory the Holy Savior Cemetery in 
Lockport, Brian jumped in and pulled out his research books to help us with 
filling in the spouses, parents and dates so that we would have a cemetery table 
for Holy Savior.  What a trooper and I appreciate all of his dedication to this 
effort and the effort of preserving the South Lafourche area's genealogy.
