Here is a list of the Louisiana databases that are searchable at Ancestry HomeTown: Genealogical Resources by U.S. State -- Louisiana The colony of Louisiana was founded in 1699 by two brothers, Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville and Jean Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville. Its boundaries stretched as far east as the Perdido River, about halfway between present-day Mobile, Alabama, and Pensacola, Florida. It stretched westward to the Red and Calcasieu rivers, next door to Spanish territory, and it extended north all the way to Canada--which was a French possession. The vast boundaries of colonial Louisiana included part or all of at least ten states: Alabama (western part), Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana (eastern part), Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Tennessee.

This was copied for the Italian American Gazette FAMOUS ITALIANS During the Civil War, the 39th New York infantry consisted of 830 Italian Americans, known as the "Garibaldi Guards", who fought in the Union Army from Bull run to Appomattox. The only man in U.S. history to win the country's two highest military honors-the Navy Cross and the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honor-was John Basilone, a U.S. marine who died during the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945. Two of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were of Italian descent. Maryland's William Paca and Delawares Caesar Rodney. The man who captured Billy the Kid was Angelo "Charie"Siringo, a famous Pinkerton detective who also pursued Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The Planter's Peanut Co. and its familar logo, Mr. Peanut. were created by the Italian American businessmen Amedeo Obici and Mario Penuzzi in Wilkes Barre, Penn. in 1908. "Chattanooga Choo-choo," was written by Harry Warren, whose real name was Salvatore Guaragna. This is from a reprint from the ITALIAN AMERICAN GAZETTE Copied by Shirley Nichols

BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT CD-ROM General Land Office Records Project GLO TERMS and DATA FIELD DEFINITIONS Accession Number: An alpha-numeric code unique to each document that directly relates a document image to the original hardcopy document. Identifies the state, volume number, and page of the original GLO document. This item is also referred to as the Document Reference ID as discussed in Section 6.11. An example of this might be LA301__.023, which identifies a Lousisana document found in Volume 301, Page 23. Aliquot Parts: Using the rectangular system of survey, land in each state was divided into Townships containing 6 square miles. Each Township was subdivided into 36 Sections, each containing 640 acres. Each Section was further subdivided into halves and quarters, repeatedly, until the piece of land was accurately described. Without the use of Fractional Sections, Blocks, or Lots (in the case of uneven parcels of land), Aliquot Parts were used to represent the exact subdivision of the section of land. Halves of a Section (or subdivision thereof) are represented as N, S, E, and W (such as "the northern half of section 5"). Quarters of a Section (or subdivision thereof) are represented as NW, SW, NE, and SE (such as "the north-west quarter of section 5"). Sometimes, several Aliquot Parts are required to accurately describe a piece of land. For example, "E SW" denotes the eastern half of the south-west quarter containing 80 acres, and "SWNENE" denotes the south-west quarter of the north-east quarter of the north-east quarter containing 10 acres. It is important to remember that the Aliquot Parts shown on the system (e.g., "SWNENE") usually translates into words found on the land document. In general, a section contains 640 acres, a half section contains 320 acres, a quarter section contains 160 acres, a half of a quarter contains 80 acres, a quarter of a quarter contains 40 acres, etc. Base Line: The true east-west line extending from an initial point in both directions. Block Number: A one-, two-, or three-digit number used to describe a block (or piece) of land within a township. For example, "Block 6 in Township 5 North, Range 12 West". Canceled Document: Land documents that were issued and later canceled were marked "Canceled" across the face of the certificate with either a stamp or a handwritten annotation. Canceled documents were usually replaced by another document. The Comments or remarks field for a canceled document will sometimes make reference to the document(s) that were used to replace it. Date Signed: The month, day, and year that the land document was signed. Document Image: An electronic "picture" of the original land document that has been preserved on optical disk and that can be shared by several people at the same time. Document Number: The primary identification number given to the original GLO document. A certificate number, warrant number, serial number, or patent number may be used as the Document Number. Fractional Section: If a section of land is not a complete section (e.g., less than 640 acres due to a body of water), then the section is denoted as a Fractional Section. Land Description: The narrative found on a document that describes a parcel(s) of land. Using the rectangular system of survey, an example of a land description is "the southern half of the northern-east quarter of Section 6 of Township 5 North, Range 12 West of the Lousisana Meridian, containing 80 acres". Land Description: Number Some land documents contain descriptions of more than one piece of land. In this case, the land descriptions are numbered in sequence as they appear on the document. This number is used to establish sequence and to distinguish each land description on a patent. Land Office: Name of a location (usually a city or town) where the General Land Office established a district Land Office to handle various land transactions. Patents that were issued were bound into volumes by Land Office names. Usually, several Land Offices existed for each state. Lot: Fractional or odd-shaped tracts of land not generally describable by conventional aliquot parts. Lots are sometimes expressed as "Lot 12" or "Lot 12a". If a lot is included in a description of land, it will be denoted in the aliquot parts as a one- or two- digit number and may include a lower case alphabet. For example "Lot 12a of the north-west quarter" is denoted as "12aNW". Metes and Bounds Description: Some GLO documents contain descriptions of land in terms other than those used by the Cadastral Surveying Method. Land bordering a river may contain a description or reference expressed in terms other than Aliquot Parts, Township, and Range. For example, "ten paces north from the large oak tree". This data item indicates whether or not a Metes and Bounds land description is used to describe the parcel of land for which the document was issued. Miscellaneous Document Number: A secondary identification number found on the original GLO document. An application number, Choctaw certificate number, or survey number may be used as a Miscellaneous Document Number. Not all documents have a Miscellaneous Document Number (e.g., Cash Entry patnts). Multiple Patentee Names: If the document was issued to more than one patentee (i.e., several persons), then this data items will display a Y. The Comments or remarks field will sometimes make reference to the other Patentee Names that are associated with the document. Patentee First Name: The first name of the person (i.e., Patentee) that received the document as it appears on the certificate. Patentee Last Name: The last name of the person (i.e., the Patentee) that received the document as it appears on the certificate. Patentee Middle Name: The middle name or initial of the person (i.e., Patentee) that received the document as it appears on the certificate. Range: A row or tier of townships lying east or west of the principal meridian and numbered successively to the east and to the west from the principal meridian. Range Number: A Range Number is used to identify the township. The Range Number indicates the East or West relation to the principal meridian. In the example "Township 5 North, Range 12 West", the number 12 represents the Range Number that is used to identify the township that is 12 tiers to the left of the principal meridian. Range Direction: The range Direction indicates which side of the principal meridian the township is on. In the example, "Township 5 North, Range 12 West", West indicates the direction of the township from the (vertical) meridian. Range Directions can be either East or West. Remarks: This data item may contain general remarks about the document, additional patentee or warrantee names, or a reference to a replacement document. Section: A tract of land, 1 mile square, within a township containing 640 acres. Approximately 1/36 of a township.
