Hi everyone, I posted this earlier, but since this is the first night of our new list and we've had new people jump on board all night, I'm going to post it again. My apologies to those of you that have already seen it. Soon I will become a silent list manager and leave things up to you folks who actually know something about Lincoln Parish!!! Now for the rerun .... I guess the best way to get this list off the ground is to start a roll call. The only problem is I don't have any Lincoln Parish ancestors! My interest in Lincoln Parish comes from my job as archive coordinator for the USGenWeb Lincoln Parish Archives. If you're not familiar with it you can take a look at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/la/lincoln.htm Check it out, see what's there, and then think about what you have access to. Maybe you have obits, bios, a cemetery listing, bible record, or something else that would help build our archives. There is a link to instructions on how to submit your files on the archives main page. Feel free to post your archive submissions to this list. I can pick it up for the archives directly from here. Just put a tag line that lets me know the posting is for archive submission. I know on the Winn Parish list these type of postings have sparked lively discussions and surprising connections. Now, back to the roll call ...... I am from Winn Parish, just a little to the south of Lincoln, and most of my interests are in that area, but you never know so here goes . . . I am researching the surnames CHANDLER, RIFFE, SULLIVAN, HENNIGAN, DODSON, WALKER, GRIFFIN, BATTLE, TUBERVILLE, FOWLER, BEAUBOUEF, LOW/LOWE, FRANKS, HICKMAN, COLE, WILSON, and NUGENT, just to name a few. Maybe some of you are working on the same lines. Now it's your turn! Who are you folks working on??? Peggy Beaubouef
