| Acadian-Cajun Genealogy: Step by Step
There are two things that characterize this period: U.S. censuses and church records. Censuses were done every ten years. This period includes all of the U.S. censuses. Also, many of the Catholic church records from this period have been published, eliminating the need to travel from church to church to find records." . . . . . . p.39 Acadian-Cajun Genealogy: Step by Step Now we have some good materials to consult at the library. I've included some of the best sources for Acadian-Cajun genealogy. Besides the books, the genealogical periodicals have tons of information.
