I have been researching my family since 1971 and descend from many of the founding families of the Ouachita Parish area. I think this is a great website to preserve the information sometimes only available on the cemetery markers, as well as a place to post photos of past generations for everyone to enjoy. I hope many more will join me in recording and sharing!

Some of the families I am researching are: Carter (LA, MD, GA, NC, SC, TN, AR)
Gordon (NC, TN, AR)
Moore (KY, LA)
Laster (LA)
Shipley (OH, LA)
Duke (GA, LA)
Earle (LA)
Gray (LA)
Gilly-Gilley (LA)
Duncan (LA)
Jumper (Schumpert) (SC, AL, MS, TX)
Patton (TN, TX)
Hibbard (VT, Canada, OH, TX, LA)
Sides (NC, AL, TX)
Etier (LA)
Olivo (LA)
Eppinette (Epinet) (LA)
Yoist (KY, LA, TX)
Gills (KY, TN, AR)
Milam (VA, TN, MS, LA)
Pailette (LA)
Purl (KY, LA)
Stokes (LA)
Carlton (SC, TN, AR)
Suggs (MS)
Jowers (AL, MS)
Rowland (NC, TN, AR)
Fike (NC, TX)

I enjoy hearing from anyone related to lines, and would like to share research.
