They were published by Francis CARO in Pointe-ala-Hache, Louisiana. Though both papers were pub1ished weekly) much of the advertisements, news articles and other local materials were different. The French version had more world and local news and information than the English version. The English version was more concerned with the north-south political problems. There were few human interest articles in either paper. The microfilmed copies of these papers can be found in the Plaquemines Parish Library or in the L. S. U. Library at Baton Rouge. Copies of the microfum can be ordered through the L. S. U. Library. This index includes death notices (DN), habituaries (HAB), successions (SUC), marriages (MAR), divorces (DIV), and civil suits (CIV). Those names marked with an asterisk (*) indicate they are not the primary subject of the article. For example, a person with an asterisk listed by a succession may be a family member, administrator, tutrix or creditor. The abbreviation "EMP" represents the "Empire Parish" and "LP" represents "L'Empire Paroisse." If the record is listed in both papers, the English version "Empire Parish" is used. The last two numbers indicate the page and column in the paper.
