I am developing a website for Louisiana Parish and need someone that is familiar with this parish information to take a look and see if anything needs to be corrected or added. Especially the Local Genealogical Societies. Its located at http://www.segenealogy.com/louisiana/lacnty12.htm Thanks in advance. Becky Southeastern Genealogy Online www.segenealogy.com
