I'm going to have to let those on the list supply that knowledge. I do know that you can write to the Lincoln Parish Courthouse regarding marriage records. Their address is 100 West Texas Avenue, Ruston, LA 71270-4463. According to Everton's Gen. Helper, they have marriage records from 1873 forward so they apparently suffered cthouse fires also. Birth and death record copy requests would have to be directed to the LA State Archives, PO Box 94125, Baton Rouge, LA 70804. Maybe someone else can give you more specific information. Good luck!
