Hello Everyone,
I wanted to extend a invitation to anyone in all of the surrounding
Parishes to join the Winn Genealogical and Historical Association that is
located in Winnfield, LA.
As part of your membership you receive a copy of our award winning
journal,the Legacies & Legends of Winn Parish, Louisiana, published in
April, August and December.
We'd love to publish public records, old newspaper transcriptions, cemetery
censuses, or family histories from our border parishes not already covered
by another genealogical society's publication. You may email them to our
editor, Peggy Beaubouef, at
.
Our main purpose is to research, record, publish, and preserve genealogical
and historical information about the people, places, and events in the
history of Winn and neighboring parishes. We also seek to promote and
further an understanding of genealogical research, emphasizing sound
genealogical proof standards as well as proper documentation and source
citation.
We are in the process of transcribing a cemetery at the moment, with plans
to do more in the future.
Our meetings are held on the second floor of the Winn Parish Health Unit
Building, located at 301 W. Main, back stair entrance across from the Winn
Parish Library. We meet at 10:30 A.M. on the second Saturday of January,
March, May, July, September and November.
A meeting will be held this next Saturday January 10th at 10:30 A.M. if
anyone would like to attend.
If anyone would like more information you can contact us by snail mail or
email.
