The St. Tammany Genealogical Society will host a presentation entitled Roots of Faith: Using Catholic Church Records in Genealogy with Ann Boltin, from the Diocese of Baton Rouge Archives.
PLACE: Causeway Branch of the St. Tammany
Parish Public Library
3457 U. S. Highway 190 in Mandeville, LA - (985) 626-9779

DATE AND TIME: Saturday, March 28, 2020
9:30 a.m. to 11:30a.m.
The Society’s Meet-and-Greet will precede the presentation and will begin at 9:30 a.m., during which light refreshments will be served. The presentation will begin at 10:00 a.m. and end before 12 noon. It is free and open to the public. Seating is limited to adults and is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The speaker Ann Boltin will explore the unique history of the Catholic Church in Southeast Louisiana. Beginning with the settlement of the area by explorers in the 17th century, Ann describes the progress of the people, the parishes, and the faith from early statehood through the 21st century. Ann will also describe how the Church’s record keeping requirements produced a treasure trove for genealogists who are researching their Louisiana ancestors. Although her main focus will be the resources of the Baton Rouge Diocese, the speaker will provide an overview of the resources available in each of the other six Louisiana Dioceses.
