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. Though I was born and
raised in Terrebonne Parish, I no
longer live there so with your
help we can make this site grow.
If you would like to donate
information please email me, Janice
and I will post your information.
If you would like to
volunteer to host a
parish website. 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.
