James, the best place to search the Lafourche etc., areas is to go to the library. In Houma, our library has extensive information. But the most important one is Father Hebert's books. He has every listing of every birth, death, marriage, Christening, etc. That is, if your ancestors were Catholic. And most of the Acadians, Cajuns, were. There are a great number of books done on indivual families. Our library also has an in-house genealogist. I did my husband's entire line never leaving Houma and going no place other than the library. Hope this helps you. Louvenia Solar
