Census Records

The 1890 census for the country was destroyed in a fire.  It was thought so anyway.  But someone in Ascension Parish had the unique foresight to make a copy (yes, we said copy) of that census before sending it off to Washington.  Remarkably rare and now in book form it is available for purchase.  Go to the Census Records and read the blog for details.
