Description
If you are researching Southwest Louisiana and your family is predominantly Roman Catholic or Acadian but not limited to that religion, Father Donald Hebert has authored a 47 volume set of books called Southwest Louisiana Records from the southwest Louisiana parishes of Acadia, Allen Beauregard, Cameron, Calcasieu, Evangeline, Iberia, Jefferson Davis, Lafayette, St Landry, St Martin, St Mary and Vermillion. This set includes Catholic and Protestant churches and civil courthouse records of genealogical and historical value. This series of books are ongoing with no definite end as yet. It covers the time frame of 1756 to 1915. Volumes 1, and 2 were redone to include more information in the births and marriages, such as witnesses, grandparents and godparents and are now volumes 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, and 2c. Fr. Hebert not only included church records but also civil courthouse records of marriages and sucessions. Volume 33 has a section of slaves and free people of color records which gives the slave owner's name if known. The rear of volume 3 has a section dedicated to the free people of color in St Landry Parish.
