Most archives, historical societies, and genealogical societies have special collections and indexes of genealogical value. These must usually be searched in person.

An important manuscript collection of compiled genealogies is the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Collection. This collection consists of transcripts of Bible, cemetery, church, marriage, death, obituary, and will records. It was microfilmed in 1971 at the DAR Library in Washington, DC, and is available on 28 microfilms at the FamilySearch Library. The volumes are generally arranged by county, and many have individual indexes.

Some major published genealogical collections for Louisiana include:

  • Arthur, Stanley, and George de Kernion. Old Families of Louisiana. New Orleans, Louisiana: Harmanson, 1931. FS Library film 1425655 item 5.
  • De Ville, Winston. Gulf Coast Colonials: A Compendium of French Families in Early Eighteenth Century Louisiana. Baltimore, Md.: Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc., 1968. FS Library Book 976.3 W2d

Writing and Sharing Your Family History

Sharing your own family history is valuable for several reasons:

  • It helps you see gaps in your own research and raises opportunities to find new information.
  • It helps other researchers progress in researching ancestors you share in common.
  • It draws other researchers to you who already have information about your family that you do not yet possess.
  • It draws together researchers with common interests, sparking collaboration opportunities. For instance, researchers in various localities might choose to do lookups for each other in remote repositories. Your readers may also share photos of your ancestors that you have never seen before.
