Ascension
Parish
French:
Paroisse de l'Ascension
Ascension
is a parish located in the U.S.
state of Louisiana. It is one of
the fastest growing parishes in
the state. Its population is
estimated to be 20,000 to 30,000
residents greater than the 2000
census. One of the major reasons
for parish growth is the number of
families wanting to move their
children from the East Baton Rouge
Parish public schools to the
higher-performing Ascension public
school system. For a time,
Hurricane Katrina also brought in
new residents from surrounding
areas, but Ascension Parish
President Ronnie Hughes said that
the influx of hurricane victims
has decreased and remains a small
percent of growth.

Welcome
to this Louisiana Genealogy Trails
Website.
My
name is Janice,
and I am your host for
Louisiana. If you would like
to submit data for this site,
please email
me with your submissions.
Happy Trails to you on your quest
for your ancestors.
This is a new site, fashioned
after our successful Illinois
Trails websites,
and we hope to soon add data here
that can help Louisiana
researchers as much as we've been
able to help our Illinois
researchers.
We need some help to do that
though - volunteers to host these
county websites. If you can make a
basic webpage, and you have a
desire to transcribe data for the
free use of all researchers, we
can use your talents!
Review our Volunteer
Information
and email
Kim.
In the meantime,
join
our mailing list
to be kept apprised of updates to
this website.
