NOTE: "I have been getting quite a few people wanting to know if I have listings of Vermilion parish cemeteries. I only have Indian Bayou, but Lori gave me the address of the Genealogical Society in Abbeville, so I am going to write to them to see if they know where I can buy them. I really hate telling these people I can't help them."
CEMETERY LISTINGS
Bonnie Hoffpauir Rives has graciously volunteered her time to do Cemetery lookups for you. Bonnie wrote:
"I have the Cemetery Listings for Acadia Parish, Church Point and surrounding areas, Rayne & surrounding areas, and Crowley and surrounding areas. Also, Indian Bayou which is in Vermilion. "
Our Cemetery Lookups are going great. Bonnie wanted you to know:
"TO LOVE HONOR AND OBEY, TIL DEATH DO YOU PART"....... Yes it is marriage, but who married who? Well, thanks to Caroline Ogle, you just may find your answer. Caroline has also graciously volunteered to do lookups for our Lafayette Parish GenWeb "home". She has the "Ancestry's Gulf South Marriages" book, which she will use to do lookups for you. Thanks Caroline.

I have a copy of "Southwest Louisiana Biographical and Historical" published 1891 that contains names, ancestors and descendants of many early settlers of SW La. Would be pleased to share-thank you for all your hard work and effort--for a displaced Cajun, (Wa State) it is a blessing--"
