All exracted probate records (File prob023) ; Catahoula Par., Louisiana Probate records submitted by Houston Tracy, Jr Date: 9/25/99 ********************************************** Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ********************************************** These abstracts were taken from the Original Probate files and loose Original records recovered from the basement of the courthouse in Harrisonburg, La. They are not a complete listing. It seems, that when the courthouse was last remodeled and the addition was made to the original structure, which houses the Clerk of Court's office and other offices, that an effort was made by the Mr. Book who was then Clerk to arrange the loose originals in time for the rededication of the courthouse and corresponding with the American Bi-centennial Celebration in 1976. Time ran short and many errors in stuffing the envelopes occurred in filing. A volunteer later created an index, but only used the name on the envelope, not the actual contents, some which should actually have been placed in another file. Note: No File Numbers were noted by the transcriber for the remaining items. Or these were some of the loose papers rescued from the basement of the old portion of the courthouse.
