One of the lessons I wanted to teach Eric Williams was how to use microfilms to research his ancestors' death records that could provide a lot of helpful information for him. Eric found information that answered some questions for him. Once, I instructed him how to fill in the research form that required the deceased person's name, date, certificate number, and the page number.
Our trip to the Louisiana State Archives was very successful and rewarding for both Eric and me. We both were very pleased with our accomplishments that day. On the way home, we discuss how essential death records are to genealogy research.
We didn't have enough time to do all that we wanted to do. We didn't have enough time to do all we wanted to do on this five-day research trip. Eric will return back to Louisiana to research at the St. Helena Parish Courthouse and Pike County Courthouse. He was researching the Walls, Tobias, Williams, Burton, Strickland, and Bated family surnames.
