Ruckdeschel) Reply-to:    ruck@datasync.com To:    LGHS@aol.com Dear Sir or Madam,       I am a student at Nicholls State University and I have an assignment to find out what was served at the dinners(rumor has it that there were 3) associated with the signing of the Lousiana Purchase in 1803. I know that the signing took place at the Cabildo, but I am having a difficult time finding information surrounding the events.      If information is not available on the dinners, I can also provide information about the types of food typically served during the time and the types of flowers and foliage that would be used for decoration.      I would appreciate any information that you could provide and possible resources that I could check.     Looking forward to hearing from you.                                                        Yours truly,                                                         Erica Ruckdeschel

From:    saks@huntnet.net (Sylvia Smith) The next meeting of the Washington Parish Genealogical & Historical Society will be on Tues, Sept. 11 at 5:30 pm at the Franklinton Branch of the Washington Parish Library. One of our members, Mrs. Vicki Knight will present a program entitled "Preserving the Memories of Your Family and Friends."  It will be a workshop/demonstration about how to record memories and preserve history. Vicki is a school teacher/librarian who has more than eight years experience and has completed over fifty recordings of the late Mrs. Zuma Magee and the late Mr. Daunton Gibbs, parish historians, and other senior citizens, family members, and parish residents, WWII veterans, and more.  Mrs. Knight's desire is to preserve local history and heritage and to create this desire in others of recording first-hand accounts of memories. The workshop will be an informal "how-to" using various methods utilized by Mrs. Knight through experience and trial and error.  She will 1) make suggestions for what to consider before, during, and after the interview;   2)  cover the use of audio and video recordings in capturing and preserving history;  and    3)  provide follow-up that suggests ways to document and preserve the recordings. The workshop will consist of sharing her methods and helpful hints and a brief demonstration.  Handouts will be provided. This workshop is for all ages-- students and adults-- for anyone who has heard interesting and treasured stories and who wishes to learn a good way to preserve them.  Everyone is invited to attend! Sylvia Smith

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Briggs Classification: Queries Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DCB.2ACE/116 Message Board Post: In 1850, my ancestor, Zara Briggs, was listed in the East Baton Rogue census as a prisoner, in jail for stealing a horse. Does anyone know what prison this would have been (state, county, etc.?). If you look at the census, the list of prisoners is pretty long. Does anyone know if there are records from that time period that would indicate what happened to Zara? I know that Zara was in Arkansas in 1840 and that some of his older children settled in Catahoula Parish. I would just like to know if he was hanged, let out of jail, died, etc. This is the last time I find him anywhere, so I sort of assume the worst. Any help or pointers for researching this area would be appreciated.

Hello, I'm trying to find info on the following family: Carl Waldo Stearnes married Ida Lee McCollum (they lived in Baton Rouge, LA) and had the following children: Ralph Stearns, he married Lou Catherine Unknown Fred Stearns, married Marie Unknown, she was born in New York. Fred was probably born in Louisiana. Martha Rose Stearns, she was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and married John Howard Prestridge, Sr. and lived in Liberty, Amite County, Mississippi. I am researching this family for my son, any info would be greatly appreciated. Ida had a brother named Cliff and a sister but I don't know her name. Thanks, Jonnie
