New Pages and Updates - Part I

It's been a year since I've posted updates. I have done a lot of work this past year, but realized that I had not notified my readers via this blog about them. Two most notable changes: the Eve N Don directory site not only changed its name to Don's List after his wife Eve passed away, it also changed its URL (web address). It took quite a bit of time for me to make the appropriate changes to this site. The second change was when the BYU Digital Books site changed to FamilySearch Books. I'm not done changing all those links. Meantime, you can check them out at FamilySearch Books and do a search for "directory." Additionally, the site Old Directory Search is now offline. I've started to remove some of the dead links, but again, have not gotten to all of them.

Lousiana New Pages

I have added a ton of links for Louisiana to the site. However, most of these are from Ancestry (in fact, I've added every Louisiana directory found at Ancestry to my site). There are a large number of free links from the USGenWeb project for Orleans and Jefferson Parishes; however, they were transcribed as part of a specific research project and many of the transcriptions are for selected surnames only. There are also a large number of New Orleans city directories for the years 1861 - 1923, plus 1985, listed at Footnote, which I have not yet added. As you can see, most of the links to Louisiana directories are found at subscription websites. If you know of any free directories for the state of Louisiana, please let me know!

Please note if you have African roots from Louisiana that many of these directories state if a person was "colored".
