Dear Linda: I am transcribing the Claiborne Parish Census of 1870. I don't have an Index yet. I ordered one, but they didn't ship it to me in a timely manner. If you know the page nos., I might be able to locate them in the census. I have transcribed the first three wards of this parish (some 7-8,000 names), so I may have already done them, but I can't remember all of those names; getting too old and senile!!!! Let me know if I can assist you, Ray Bartlett rbartlet@bellsouth.net ______________________________ Linda Watkins wrote: > Posted on: Claiborne Parish La Queries > Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/La/Claiborne/10141 > > Surname: MERRITT, MERRICK, STINSON > ------------------------- > > Trying, once again, to connect with my Louisiana roots. > > My g grandmother was Levie (Olevia) Merricks (Merritt).
