The New Orleans Genesis is the official publication of the Genealogical Research Society of New Orleans [ISSN 0548-6424]. Issues are numbered consecutively starting with No. 1, which was published in January 1962. From 1962 through 2020, GRSNO published four issues per year, except for 2006, when publication was suspended due to the impact of the Hurricane Katrina disaster on southeast Louisiana. Four issues covering any one year constituted a volume. In 2021 and 2022, Genesis switched from a quarterly to three issues per year, but with the same total number of pages in a volume. In 2023, members and subscribers began receiving two electronic editions of New Orleans Genesis Online [ISSN 2995-875X] by email in April and July, followed by a single print issue mailed in October, which includes new articles plus all articles from the April and July electronic editions and our monthly email newsletter. The October edition thus provides a full year’s content in a single issue of New Orleans Genesis and continue the volume and issue numbering of our official publication. While our format has evolved, we maintain our commitment to publishing new genealogical research and documents. Records of a genealogical nature, articles, or dates of genealogical interest should be submitted to the Editor for consideration.
Queries and announcements are accepted for publication in the New Orleans Genesis if they are of interest to genealogists and family researchers focusing on New Orleans and Louisiana and the Gulf Coast South. Not more than two QUERIES of fifty words or less will be published in any one calendar year of the Genesis, if submitted by a member. Non-members may also submit one query per calendar year at no charge. ANNOUNCEMENTS of general interest to genealogists and family researchers, notice of meetings, seminars, or other information which, in the opinion of the editors should be included, will be published free of charge if received no later than two months before the publication dates of the issue in which they should appear. These should be brief, not longer than 100 words. The editors reserve the right to edit the submission to fit the space available.
