Often, individuals who were missed on the regular U.S. census will appear on the agricultural census. Six of the agricultural census's original forty-eight columns are transcribed here: name of owner, improved acreage, unimproved acreage, cash value of farm, value of farm implements and machinery, and value of livestock. This volume covers the parishes of: Ascension, Assumption, Avoyelles, East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Bossier, Caddo, Calcasieu, Caldwell, Carroll, Catahoula, Claiborne, Concordia, DeSoto, East Feliciana, West Feliciana, Franklin, Iberville, Jackson, Jefferson, Lafayette, Lafourche, Livingston, and Madison.

But what the genealogists will savor are the biographical sketches that fill this book. Approximately two thirds of this book is devoted to biographical sketches of these early settlers. Until now, if you could even locate a book, it was extremely difficult to use due to its lack of an index. Due to this problem, we have completed a brand NEW every name INDEX which mentions over 26,000 individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSouthern Publishing Company\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1890), 2016, cloth, 776 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780893087784\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e117-LA3\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Historical Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39477916303478,"sku":"117-LA3","price":68.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/117-la3.png?v=1727811984"},{"product_id":"101e-fi0040","title":"DeSoto Parish, Louisiana Marriage Book A, 1843-1860 and Loose Marriages, 1837-1860","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrances T.

It was named for Marcel DeSoto who led the first group of European settlers to the area settling on the Bayou Pierre. Many people think this Parish was named for Hernando de Soto, the Spaniard who explored the southeastern United States. In this volume, you will find a brief history of the Parish and then a collection of biographical sketches of persons living there in the late 1890s. Since most of the persons mentioned gave the data to the writer of the material originally, we can assume they knew their family and background.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cblockquote\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eExample:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003ePage 253 - J.
