Hi ! I'm new to the list and I'm helping my mother-in-law track down the homes of her great-grandfather, JAMES E. SLAUGHTER. We have received a copy of his probate records which indicate some connection to Donaldsonville. We know that he had 3 children by a Adeline Evans though they never married: 2 boys and a girl, Olga. Can anyone tell me if Donaldsonville has city directories that would be available on microfilm from the FHC? Are there any birth records available from the area for the 1880 period? The man's will was handwritten in New Orleans in December 1900 just before he left on a trip to Mexico where he died over the new year weekend. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
