Welcome to
this Louisiana Genealogy Trails Website.
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. My name is
Janice and I host the state of Louisiana. Please email
me with your submissions.
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!

our mailing list to be kept
apprised of updates to this website.
