Posted on: Bienville Parish Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/La/Bienville?read=407 Surname: Ruff, Roden, Murphy, Franks ------------------------- I, too, am learning about the Liberty Hill Baptist Church in Bienville Parrish, LA. I am somewhat familiar with the minutes of the conference meetings that you spoke of. Have you ever tried to contact the Red River Parrish Baptist Church association? It may be called something else now, but I'm pretty sure they would keep records from the old churches. I understand several parrishes may have sent their local records to the Louisiana State Archives in Baton Rouge. www.sec.state.la.us/archives/archives/archives Is the address I believe. Please keep in touch -- Pattie
