Hi everyone, To Markie and Lynelle: well done, ladies!! The site looks wonderful! To newcomers and others on the list that haven't seen the Parish page, go to: http://www.rootsweb.com/~labienvi/ You'll find a wealth of information on Bienville Parish. You now have various places to find and contribute information: this mailing list, the above web site, and the GenConnect boards. A reminder that the Query board is the only one that you can post your questions about family. The other boards: Bible, Bios, Deeds, Obits, Pensions, and Wills are for information that you have that pertain to that specific board. A friendly reminder to all: PLEASE remember to respect the copyright laws. Never copy anything verbatim and always give credit to the author of the publication/work. If the laws are broken, then the information that was posted will have to be removed. I hope that all of you will be able to find the information that you need to help solve your missing links! My best, Peggy
