This First Families section is for ancestors that lived in St. James Parish prior to 1920. If you have ancestors that you would like to have posted, please send the information to Margie Pearce. You can send it in a .rtf, .txt, .doc, .html format. (Usually Family Tree Maker and other similar programs use .rtf files)
If you have a genealogy web site of your St. James Ancestors, let us know and a link on "Personal Genealogy Sites" will be added so that others may visit. You MUST let me know that you are sending a file prior to sending it. Open attachments from unknown sources will be deleted.
If you see a picture that is very small, it is a "thumbnail" picture. Click on the picture for a larger view.
Use these family pages as a springboard for further research. There have been no attempts to verify the accuracy of the information submitted. If you find what you believe to be errors, please contact the submitter.
Please do NOT submit any information on living people. It is too dangerous to post names of living people, even if the information listed says "Private".
If you have questions, contributions, or problems with this site, email:
Parish Coodinators: Margie Pearce and/or Jim Cox
State Coordinator: Jo Branch
Co-State Coordinator: Edward Hayden
Please contact Marsha Bryant if you are interested in adopting a parish in Louisiana. Make sure when you contact her that you put the parish you wish to coordinate in the subject box.
