CAJUNS, CREOLES, PIRATES AND PLANTERS
Your New Louisiana Ancestors Format
Volume 2, Number 48
By Damon Veach
RECORDS OF INTEREST: Researchers are constantly finding new materials available from FamilySearch, and this is being accomplished by the cooperation of governmental agencies and all the volunteers who are copying these records for inclusion in the FamilySearch research base. Even though no new Louisiana records are being copied at this time, those that are being copied now should be of interest to Louisiana researchers with lineages in other parts of the U.S. and in other countries. Here is the latest for your perusal.
