By: Goodspeed Publishing Company, Orig. Pub. 1892, Reprinted 2024, 590 pages, New Index, Soft Cover, ISBN #978-1-63914-033-6. These two volumes are the RAREST of ALL the books published by the Goodspeed Publishing Company. They are also probably one of the MOST VALUABLE set of books ever published on Louisiana Families. A NEW FULL NAME INDEX has been created for this reprint edition in order to make it more user friendly for research. This volume is broken into several different sections: Floods & Levees, Transportation, Post-Bellum Political History, Literature of Louisiana, The Civil War of 1861-1865, Religious Organizations and churches, Newspapers of Louisiana, Secret & Benevolent Organizations, French Societies. But the genealogists will love the next two sections, and they cover the creation and history of the parishes "M thru Z" and followed by the Biographical Section covering surnames "M thru Z". The New index that was created for this reprint mentions approximately 7,000 individuals.
