I like looking at marriage announcements in the Ville Platte
Gazette. A fun project for a sociology
type or historian would be to spend time at a library and look through the
Gazette on microfilm going back several years and see the families getting
married. You’ll see the same names going
way, way back.
This a list of people that obtained marriage licenses
published in the Thursday, February 21, 2013 Ville Platte Gazette. I’ll list only the surnames but the information
should be on the paper’s site. I’ll bold
the names I find particularly interesting but I’m probably related to all of
them going back.
