HI!  While I'm often asked to perform a "lookup" for other researchers, the questions 
often cover a time period that I cannot accommodate.  Following is a list of books 
that I own and use most often for my research.  (One of the most frequent questions 
I'm asked and cannot answer is regarding Avoyelles Parish marriages after 1899.)  
Remember....there are many other great books out there so be 
sure to check out a good genealogical library!!

For some reason, an extra character is being inserted into some of the lines below (right
in the middle of the page) when I upload the page to the web.  Please keep this in mind when
reading below until I'm able to resolve."
