Expect that each volume would contain about 200 pages and be spread over five to six volumes. Extracted, assembled, indexed and published obituaries published from 1870 to the present and found in Crowley, Rayne and Church Point newspapers. Publication of the obituary volumes has been limited to support the reference library in the respective branch libraries in Crowley, Rayne, and Church Point. If there is a demand, we may consider publishing an index of obituaries that will attempt to capture pertinent published information. An index containing over 26,450 Probate Court records through 1997 has been published and made available in the Crowley, Rayne and Church Point research libraries.
Volumes are cross-referenced in groom sequence and bride sequence.
In addition to the names or the prospective brides and grooms, the license date and number is also provided. Provide hands-on assistance to new researchers in the local area, often working from the local library, via the Internet, email, or telephone. Work in cooperation with the parish library staff to provide family researchers and local historians with meaningful reference library and support equipment.
