St.
Tammany
Parish
[French:
Paroisse de Saint-Tammany]
The
parish seat is Covington. On
December 22, 1810, St. Tammany
Parish was created by
proclamation. Governor Claiborne
never explained why he named the
new parish St. Tammany.
The name is generally thought to
have come from Tamanend, a
Delaware Indian Chief, who is
reputed to have been a great
friend to the white man in the
early days of the colonization of
the East Coast.His name lived on
in political society called the
Sons of Tammany, which eventually
gave its name to Tammany Hall in
New York City.The title of Saint
was purely honorary, although
Tamanend was renowned for his
goodness.

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.
