Lewis as Clerk of Court ====================== I have other contributions that I'll have posted soon. I also want to say a big thank you to our listmembers Bruce Odom and Judy Brush for forwarding my request about the 1874 Union Record newspaper in the Austin TX library to their daughters. Both have been a big help in getting us information from this newspaper. Pictures of the paper are available at the link below, and transcriptions and other information should be available soon. Here's the pictures: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/%7Eusgenweb/la/union/newspapers/Union_Record/Union_Record.html (NOTE: those 'blank' spaces are actually underscores, "_" and not blank spaces. Please let me know if anyone has trouble opening this link.) ================================================= Finally, I have also taken over the USGenWeb Union Parish Louisiana page in addition to the Archives page. I have added some new materials and will continue to do so as time permits. When you have the chance, take a look: http://www.rootsweb.com/~launion/ Notice especially: Union Parish Surname Registry - email me to register your surnames War of 1812 Veterans List - email me to register any War of 1812 veterans who lived in Union Parish Please send any suggestions for improvement. I'm also preparing a "volunteer lookup list" for those of you who have books of Union Parish materials. Let me know if any of you wish to be included as lookup volunteers.
