Dear Bobbie,
Thank you so much. This is information I can use and will pass on to others. In Volume 34, p. v11, Fr. Hebert tells about the civil records and the church records in Lake Charles burning in 1910. What a disaster.
I have encountered problems tracing my husband's family in Muscogee Co., GA because the court house burned in 1838 and was burned again during the Civil War. Sure makes records hard to find.
While in Ville Platte in 1999 for the world-wide Fontenot Family Reunion, I met Terry Landreneau in the Evangeline Parish Library. Terry was reconstructing the 1910 census for Lake Charles.
Sincerely,
