i believe the LDS Library is wrong: Livingston Parish was Created from: St. Helena Parish in 1832. Don

Lynchings were not something that were necessarily chronicled or made public. While I don't know of any in my family I have found some disturbing clues about various things - the least of which is that every ancestor in the proper time period I have found so far seems to be a slave owner. A lot of things have been hushed up for various reasons. For example, my great-grandmother was Clara Josephine Thibodeaux, born in East Baton Rouge Parish to first cousins from West Baton Rouge who were the children and grandchildren of Acadian emigrants to Louisiana from exile in France. In other words, Cajun to the core. However, my family was in total denial that there was any Cajun and differentiated themselves by saying they were "from France." This was partly because she became a Baptist. I found some rather disturbing propaganda in my mother's things as a teenager that I asked about and she unfortunately destroyed. It was a pamphlet or tract that told how the Knights of Columbus were going to rip babies from the wombs of the wives of Freemasons - extraordinarily vitrolic and anti-Catholic. It apparently belonged to my grandfather, who was the son of an Irish woman who became a Baptist on her deathbed. Athough it is a different matter, there are many things that are not spoken of today. The lynchers probably preferred anonyminity and the family of the lynchee was probably terrified into silence. When I was growing up, I always heard about the fact that my grandfather donated the land for Central School on the condition that they never hold dances there. I found out later that there was another caveat - that it was only to be for the education of white children. I do think it's interesting that the Central Wildcats were the Central Demons when my mother graduated in 1931 - I'd like to know the circumstances of the mascot change in those days before political and religious correctness.

HI: I'm researching the BROWN family in East Baton Rouge. My relatives are all over the area. My grandfather, now 91, has told me about a lynching in his family. I'd like to document whether this happened. It may have happened before the turn of the century, in Louisiana. He has no other details, except that it happened. Has anyone on this list researched such an event? A few people on other genealogy lists have told me they checked newspapers from the period to document similar events in their families. I have checked "lynching" in the google.com search engine and found a list of those killed by lynching, but didn't recognize any names. Am trying to figure out how to procede from here in researching this. All info appreciated. Thanks. K. Berry
