There are several French and Spanish census listings taken during the Colonial period. Published listings
include Jacqueline K Voorhies', Some Late Eigthteenth-Century Louisianians - Census Records 1758-1796,
which includes New Orleans and other Louisiana settlements. Glenn Conrad in his "First Families of
Louisiana" includes many listings prior to 1758. Albert Robichaux has published several Spanish listings of
the Lafourche settlements during the 1790 time frame. Other books exist too. I am not aware of any Colonial
Louisiana listings being on-line.
