This review is from: Vacherie, St. James Parish, Louisiana: History And Genealogy (Hardcover)

Mr. Oubre has included over 700 pages of family lines, census records, militia rolls, histories and legends of the people who settled and built the original town known as Vacherie, Louisiana. It is a monumental work that has added considerably to my passion to learn from whom and where I come. The book includes (among many others) histories of the Amedee, Becnel, Brazen, Falgoust, Folse, Gravois, Loup, Ockman, Oubre, Remondet, Sevin, Simon, Stein and Webre families of the German Coast area of Louisiana.

This review is from: Vacherie, St. James Parish, Louisiana: History And Genealogy (Hardcover)

This book offers so much to anyone who has any interest in family history from south Louisiana. As anyone can attest who has done any genealogy, many times family lines cross, especially in smaller towns. Though I was looking particularly for one line, I have found a wealth of information which I didn't quite expect. Mr. Oubre, I thank you sincerely for all the time and love it must have taken you to research all of these records.
