Name Index to some probate dockets; Rapides, Louisiana Dates: 1864-1940 Submitter: Jane McManus Compiled by Norma Rose, Longview TX Source:LDS Microfilm ********************************************** Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ********************************************** This information was transcribed from LDS Microfilm records exactly as it appeared on the microfilm. Some records seemed to be mixed, and the reader should watch closely for dates. The names in this index were taken from two different sets of Rapides Parish Probate Records. The OLD DOCKET (refers to District Court files, 1864 - 1880), and NEW DOCKET (refers to two sets of records: PROBATE COURT files, 1864 - 1880 & DISTRICT COURT files, 1880 - 1940). The designation OLD DOCKET and NEW DOCKET signals the beginning of a new series. Please note that THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE INDEX TO THE PROBATE RECORDS OF RAPIDES PARISH LA, however, it is a total list of all that were on the microfilm. These rolls can be ordered from the LDS Library for use in LDS Church Libraries. (Norma Rose) New Dockets & Old Dockets - Rapides Parish LA NEW DOCKET SERIES 719 - Lucas, James (Succession).
