Hi, I'm going to post a couple of things that Jo Autrey has graciously submitted for the Lincoln Parish Archives to this list to give you a little preview before it goes up on the webpage, and to let you know what kind of records we need for the archives. She has submitted a lot more but I won't post all of it -- you'll have to watch for it to go up on the archive webpage in a few days. If you're not familiar with the archives, this is the url: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/la/lincoln.htm If you have obits, biographies, court or land records, marriage records, anything like that pertaining to Lincoln Parish, we would love to have you submit it to the archives. Please help us build a database the will help other Lincoln Parish researchers who are not as fortunate as those of us who live an hour or so away!
