Thank you for volunteering. I am looking for the family of Isaac Ferree. Isaac and his wife are supposed to have died in East Baton Rouge in 1821 and 1822, respectively. Any help would be appreciated. rick lyons

I searched the head of household indexes for 1900 and 1920 in Louisiana. 1920 didn't list any PAULs in Allen Parish. There were quite a few PAUL families in Rapides Parish (Elizabeth, LA is near the border with Rapides Parish). In both 1900 and 1920 I found only one Preston PAUL (he did appear in both censuses). Although he doesn't appear to be your Preston, based on the birthday and birthplace, it could be possible. I thought it was interesting that he was listed as black in 1900 and white in 1920 -- that is one indication that he could possibly be Indian. I'm hoping the names of the children might tell you whether or not he is your Preston Paul. 1900 Calcasieu, Rapides Parish, Ward 6 (ED 131) Sheet 8 121 126 Paul, Preston Head BM Oct 1856 43 M 23 LA LA LA <occupation unreadable> yes yes yes O F F 110 Leeta Wife BF Sept 1859 47 M23 11 7 LA LA LA no no yes Geneva Daughter BF Nov 1883 16S LA LA LA Seamstress yes yes yes Catherine Daughter BF Feb 1887 13S LA LA LA Dressmaker yes yes yes Hardy Son BM Mar 1891 9S LA LA LA yes yes yes Louis Son BM Feb 1878 22S LA LA LA Farm Laborer yes yes yes Wesley Son BM Mar 1879 21S LA LA LA Laborer Sawmill yes yes yes William Son BM July 1881 18S LA LA LA Farm Laborer yes yes yes 1920 Calcasieu, Rapides Parish ED 68 Sheet 3A 59 59 Paul, Preston Head O F MW63Wd LA LA LA Farmer Ryan, Zday Maid FW54Wd Georgia Georgia Georgia Housekeeper Hatch, Francis Mother FW89Wd LA LA LA Paul, Hardy Head MW28M LA LA LA labor -- cuting log Paul, Dolie Wife FW18M LA LA LA housewife Paul, Catherine Head FW30Wd LA LA LA housekeeper Doyal, Clarence Son MW10S LA LA LA Doyal, O.C.

He was an American Indian (Choctaw). He was born in 1850 in Oklahoma, and later moved from Paul's Valley to Louisiana. I don't know how old he was when he moved, but it may have been when the Indian Territories were opened up for settlers. He was married to a woman who was part Choctaw and part Cherokee, but I don't have a name for her. He died at age 89, (should be 1939) in Elizabeth, Allan Parish, Louisiana. We have very little information about him. I believe he and his famiy were illiterate, so we have to rely on government records. The family history was written on his barn wall by someone, but the barn later burned down in a fire, so this is all I know. All of my online searches come up empty. Any information you can supply would be deeply appreciated. Thank you in advance. D.M. Spray

Dalton and Cadoza Eastern lived in Tallulah, La. Does anyone know what became of them? Jack and Clara Eastern lived for a time in Tallulah also. Their formal names were probably Douglas and Clarice Does anyone know anything about Shaw, La. and the people who lived there in the 1950's? Clara Eastern or Clara King was said to have resided there.

I'm new to the list and would like to know if someone could look up a name for me in the 1930 census. The soundex code is D-540, name Walter N. DANIEL, sometimes uses the first name William. Born in Oct. 1885 in GA and should have a daughter named Elenore living with him. Wife died in 1928, so should be a widow in 1930. Thanks! Judy in GA tudemurdog@alltel.net

When the census asks if a person could read, could write ---- do they mean read and write English only? What if they could read/write in French or Spanish but not in English???? Many thanks

Please remove me from this list.

It looks as if the enumerator put check marks in this column for all people over the age of 10 who were listed as black. It is likely he was just using that column to count. Good luck recovering your information!!
