Hello! I am pretty new to research in the Louisiana area and could use some help tracking my Arceneaux line. I have searched the Diocese of Baton Rouge Sacremental records through 1876, which is the latest date I have access to. I cannot find any information for my Oscar Arceneaux's birth in those records.... Would someone with ascess to the later records be kind enough to look and see if there is a marriage for an Michel Oscar Arceneaux to a Marie Eulaili Lambert around the time period of 1881? I have a daughter born on 4 Mar, 1881, and that is the earliest birth I show for this family...the marriage may have occurred earlier then that.... I did find Michel Oscar on the 1882 census for the St. Joseph Church in French Settlement, and it shows him as 27 years old, giving me a birthdate for Oscar as 1855. However, on the 1900 Ascension parish census, he is listed as 40 years old, which would give a birthdate of 1860. Either way, I could not locate a birth record for Oscar in the Diocese records....I am hoping that if a marriage record can be located, I can get his parents names to work with on the earlier Diocese records and perhaps find out if he is under another name or something??? Thanks so much for any help anyone can give me! I'm at a loss as to where to go from here if he is not listed in the Diocese records.... Debbie
