I have found that this is about the hardest of the rootswebs to get genealogical information circulating. The Bossier and Caddo groups are new, but up and running. Unfortunately, I have no new information to share with anyone, for I am sitting out in CA. I will, however, make an effort to post material I read on other sources that might be of interest to Rapides researchers. Probably one of the main genealogical problems is the destruction the area suffered from the Civil War era. Beverly Smith
