Hi List: I agree with Gaytha and Greg, If we all dug into our records starting with our marriage records, the names, who they married, who were the witnesses to the marriages, just this one small detail could mean a lot to someone and that someone could be you! Who knows, you may find a cousin ! Carol Hurley Researching: Sharp, McCord, Tucker, Gaskins, Sealy, Morris, Harrison, Crowell, Mobley, Aswell, Selby, Goodwin, Gahagan and more.

Hi All, I had sent this on to a "cousin" of mine who is a Lemee and this was her response. Sorry I forgot who sent it out but maybe this will help someone.

Greg, I am passing your email along to the Natchitoches and Grant mailing list. Wish we had more like you to help build the Louisiana Archives and help preserve history!!! Gaytha Date: Mon, 25 May 1998 11:33:33 -0500 From: "Greggory E. Davies" <gedavies@iamerica.net> To: LAWINN-L@rootsweb.com Happy Memorial Day to the list. Sitting here this morning I had somewhat of an emotional reflecting period about my late father who was a Marine combat veteran of WWII. I have all the letters he sent home to my grandmother during his almost four years in the jungles of the S. Pacific, and unlike the old Civil War era letters we see, little of general interest is given in the letters due to censorship. I then began think about all my ancestors who served in some war or other and it came to mind just how important what we are doing on these archive files is not only to us, but future generations. I hope that we few are not the only ones who feel this way and there are dozens out there who feel the same and will one day wake up and realize there is a place they can make whatever they have access to available to the world through such as we have established here. I want to issue a challenge, or a thought-jogger to all on the list. We need to take an extra step to explore what our families might have access to in the form of old family histories, bible records, military records, etc., and get them on the list and into the archives. I know we all stay busy. We all are wrapped up in important things. Many are constantly working our respective lines and don't have time to deal with general stuff. But, let's take the time. If everyone on this list would simply submit one small entry pertaining to what the archives is established for, we can continue to grow and help others. Sorry for the diatribe but I feel a bit patriotic this morning. Gregg -- Greggory E. Davies 120 Ted Price Lane Winnfield, LA 71483 gedavies@iAmerica.net

Sometime last year, I found a distanct cousin here online, who send a small pamplet(20 pages) on the Weaver Methodist Church in Flora. One of the ladies in this book was my great aunt, Ravenna RAGAN Smith. Her son, Edgar P. Smith helped prepare this book and he was minister at Caddo Heights Baptish Church, I am assuming in Shreveport. I am trying to find out where Ravenna and her husband, Thomas are buried as well as her father, Joseph Wesley RAGAN. I'm wondering if they may be buried in the Bayou Blue Graveyard which would be near this church. Does anyone have any records of this cemetery?? thanks, Jane Sanford Keppler

Red, Yes there are land records on the net. The land records that are being submitted are ones that they people have ordered the copies of homestead applications and or cash entry records for the families that they are researching. I will be uploading these files into the Natchitoches LaGenWeb Archives Just as I have copies of Civil War Pensions of my families that I will typing up and putting into the archvies.

Hello Everyone, Randy Decuir has sent me the e-mail below telling about a small family cemetery. I've added it to the "cemetery page". He had information about two burials there. If anyone knows more about this cemetery or lives near it, would you be willing to inventory it and send me the information so I can put the listing up for the cemetery. Please post to the mail list if you can help. ============ "There is a small family cemetery located on Robert Parish's old homestead, about two or three miles north-northeast of Robeline. You take the state highway north of Robeline towards Marthaville for about two miles. Turn right onto a road which I think may be near a church. There is a sign near an interesection near the cemetery which states the direction to Anthony Baptist Church. (This is not a church cemetery, as the sign just so happens to be near the cemetery). I think the cemetery is located at the end of this road maybe a mile down or so. Included in the cemetery are: Robert M. Parish 1856-1928 Clemetine Melton, wife of Robert Parish 1860-1910 "....I thought there were two, three, maybe four more...maybe even a couple more than that. But I may be totally wrong, as I can't see any near the Parish gravestone. So unless they are least ten feet away, there are only the two. Just wish I could remember to save you trouble." "......looking at the photo closer, I DO SEE one (1) older type headstone about 20 feet away near a tree, very close to the intersection. The whole grave yard area looks about 30 by 30 feet. That other grave may be of his son, Gordie Parish, however, that is just speculation as I know Uncle Gordie lived in the Natchitchoes area, long after my grandfather, his brother, left there. Robert Parish bought this property about 1890, and his wife died in 1910, so I guess he buried her next to the house. The Robert Parish home was located adjacent to the grave to the immediate South of the cemetery, where a modern home is now located." randy decuir marksville" ============ Thanks, Glenda Myers
