Thank you. I have a few more to send. I am in the process of typing those up.
I wanted all of you to know that you can get copies of old St. Landry
Parish newspaper articles, that they are an absolutely wonderful "Primary"
resource, and I wanted you to know where to send for them. The lists I am
sending show only the few items I have. That is only a drop in the bucket.
There are many more articles available from LSU.
I was hoping to find an "INDEX or a COMPLETE LIST" and I've just learned
from the person who introduced all of this to me that an INDEX is
available on film through your local LDS Family History Center Libraries.
To find out more and to learn of the many other Louisiana articles
compiled and indexed by Brenda Lagroue Mayers, Gloria Lambert Kerns, go
