The Winn Parish Genealogical and Historical Association will hold its first meeting of 2005 on Saturday, Feb. 5. Open to the public, the meeting will be held on the second floor of the Winn Parish Health Unit building, 301-A Main, Winnfield. The stairs are located at the rear of the building. Business meeting begins as 12:00 noon; program, 1:00. Featured speaker will be Mrs. Sue Badeaux who has lectured various groups on subjects ranging from documentation, cemetery research, nonpopulation census schedules, tax records and the use of the Master Genealogist program. Sue will help us to analyze pre 1850 census records. The title of her speech is "So, You Thought You Knew How To Read A Census". It is not a comprehensive talk on census records, rather, a collection of tips she learned during her extensive research experiences. The 3 main parts of the speech are: How to find the correct census record, How to read the census record and How to use the census record. Please join us on Saturday, Feb. 5. Maude Ann Gilmore

Hi everybody, I have just joined the list. I wonder if some kind person could answer some questions for me. Sorry if they seem naive. 1. Where I could get/see old photos of Avoyelles Parish, especially around Echo around 1880-1900? I'd love to see what it looked like. 2. Two of my ancestors, William & Ernest Kohler, emigrated from French-speaking Alsace directly to Avoyelles Parish around 1880-1890. I'm wondering why they chose Avoyelles. Was that area well-known at the time, for being receptive to French immigrants? Or did they, perhaps, already have relatives in the parish? 3. How I can find more info about an ancestor of mine: WILLIAM KOHLER? He was born in Alsace (under the name Guillaume Kohler) in 1853 or 1854, and he's supposed to have entered the USA about 1872 (maybe using the name William Kohler which is the one he used in the US), but I can't find him in Ancestry's Immigration database. He married Angelica Rabalais in Avoyelles Parish in 1874, and died in Avoyelles Parish in 1887. I'm interested learning absolutely anything about him, including copies of the official records of his immigration, marriage and death. 4. How can I find similar info about his brother Ernest (born Charles Ernest Kohler in Alsace but he called himself Ernest in the USA)? He became a US citizen on 14 Oct 1901. The application for citizenship states that he moved to the United States from Alsace in 1880 when he was 17 and that he had resided continuously in Louisiana since 1880. I can't find him in Ancestry's Immigration database either, but he does appear on the 1900 census in Avoyelles Parish. Thanks very much, David Kohler Palo Alto, CA
