Book French and Spanish Records of Louisiana

Download or read book French and Spanish Records of Louisiana written by Henry Putney Beers and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2002-03-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Representing years of extensive research, this authoritative and comprehensive guide to the records generated in the Louisiana Territory during the French and Spanish colonial periods is a major reference work. Henry Putney Beers has painstakingly traced all types of documents, including land, military, and ecclesiastical records; registers of births, marriages, and burials; and private papers. Far more than a mere bibliographical listing, the book provides a complete history and description of these records and their past as well as current locations. When microfilms or other copies of particular bodies of documents exist, Beers describes the circumstances of reproduction and lists the locations of the copies.In the first part of the book, Beers presents a concise account of history and government in Louisiana, concentrating on the formation of a record-keeping bureaucracy. His detailed discussion includes information on available archival reproductions, documentary publications, and the nature and size of holdings in pertinent manuscript collections. Beers's examination of parish, land, and ecclesiastical records will serve as a vital resource. In the remainder of the book, he provides a similarly comprehensive treatment of the records of what are now Mississippi, Alabama, Missouri, and Arkansas.Beers traces repositories for these documents far beyond regional confines, locating some in Europe, Canada, and Cuba. For the early migrants to the region -- the Acadians, for example -- he describes source materials at the migrants' points of origin. He also provides information on documents that have been lost or destroyed, an important service that will save researchers much time.French and Spanish Records of Louisiana will prove to be of enormous value to a wide range of people: professional historians, local history buffs, genealogists, lawyers, archivists, and librarians.

Download or read book Kirkland Source Book of Records written by Jean R. Leonard and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is a joint effort of four Kirkland searchers who believe they are all (husband, in one case) descendants of the Richard Kirkland family living in Fairfax Co., Va., in the early 1700's. By way of N.C., some of his sons and possibly daughters, came into South Carolina. One of these sons was named Richard, who died in South Carolina in 1774. This Richard was the father of the notorious Moses Kirkland who turned Tory and is probably the most written about Kirkland there is. Over the years we have collected many Kirkland records. We are sure that some of these definitely belong to this family, but we have many that may or may not. Mrs. Green suggested that we compile our records into a book to share with others and call it a source book ..."--Foreword (leaf after t.p., v. 1).
