Louisiana Genealogy Blog is attempting to gather genealogy bloggers in Southeastern US and Louisiana. It is associated with Yahoo Groups of the same name and has other Group affiliations on Google, MSN and a site on Geocities/Yahoo 360* that links to a genealogy news feeder on Bloglines. The reader links to over 255 genealogy blogs and news sites in Louisiana & the Southeastern U.S.  You can access those from the blog on Blogger.

Our Story is another great way to share your family information and your stories. It offers a timeline for your family or personal events and stories. There are also questions sets that can help you create your timeline. It also has a Family & Friends link, much like the neighborhoods and communities of My Blog Log and Blogcatalog.

If you know of a Louisiana genealogy blog please post a link or connect to me through one of these websites. View member profiles at My Heritage and see site memberships. Here are my memberships. I have several websites including this one that I’ve recently joined in order to network Louisiana genealogy bloggers. Our Story is the most recent website that has a few friends and family members that are from Louisiana. It also offers an RSS feed for newly added stories. The Blog Catalog offers neighborhoods and links to Technorati profiles and My Blog Log. These are just some of the websites that I’ve linked to and created in order to network Louisiana genealogy bloggers.

More about this site

The Yahoo Groups page has links to Geocities Louisiana sites on , Yahoo Groups, WebRings, and MSN Groups about Louisiana. I have not found many news articles or feeds on Louisiana Genealogy, but I will be surfing newspapers for items of interest from across the state and making posts as I find them of interest. I would like other Louisiana Genealogy information submitted to this blog and have made the email post option public – I think! You can email me to post to the blog @ Blogger or after joining the Yahoo Group, Louisiana Genealogy news, family surname information, general genealogy info, and road blocks or questions. The information for posting to the Group and for publication to this blog can be found on the Yahoo Groups site, Louisiana Genealogy Blogs.
