Morehouse Parish Morehouse Parish was formed in 1844. It is named after Abraham Morehouse, who was originally from Montgomery County New York, claimed to be a Colonel in the New York Militia.  Morehouse Parish was originally part of Ouachita country which was roughly defined by the area between the Red and Mississippi rivers north to the Missouri River. The name Ouachita, pronounced ³Wash-i-taw², is derived from a tribe of Native Americans which inhabited that area when it was first explored by the French.The parish seat is Bastrop, the namesake of the Baron de Bastrop, who received a Spanish land grant in the area.   Cities and towns Bastrop Bonita Collinston  Mer Rouge Oak Ridge Adjacent counties and parishes Union County, Arkansas (northwest) Ashley County, Arkansas (north) Chicot County, Arkansas (northeast) West Carroll Parish (east) Richland Parish (southeast) Ouachita Parish (southwest) Union Parish (west)	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. 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.     Online Data We intend to put data from all these categories online eventually. Feel free to contribute your data to this site to help it grow! ONLINE NOW!      COMING SOON             Louisiana is organized by Parish rather than County We need Parish Hosts! Email Kim if you want to help us to keep online Genealogy free!
