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.
