The 1850 Avoyelles Parish Census is much more than a record of the 1850 census - it is a 773-page gold mine for Avoyellean genealogists, researchers, and family members. Its ambitious goal is to detail the complete lives of individuals named in the 1850 census, and it is certain to provide even seasoned genealogists with new details about their Avoyellean ancestors. Each census household is listed along with its residents' available genealogical gems (including birthdate, baptism, parent(s), adoption, emancipation, marriage(s), divorce(s), military service, occupation, and death/burial/succession info) from a host of supplementary civil and ecclesiastical sources.
The 1850 Avoyelles Parish Census is the product of 5+ years of effort by Eve Daigrepont Bierniat, and includes Lyle Barbato's contributions of the oft overlooked "Slave Inhabitants" and "Agriculture" 1850 census schedules. With its impressively comprehensive array of sourced information, this book details Avoyellean lives at a level which will surprise even experienced researchers.
