A Message from the Membership Committee

The Society was organized in June of 1979. Many of our members’ progenitors settled on the German-Acadian Coast in the 1700s and some of their descendants still live in the same area. The goals and purposes of the Society are:

  • To create interest in history and genealogical records in St. Charles, St. James and St. John the Baptist Parishes.
  • To locate and make known sources of genealogical information.
  • To aid and encourage each member of the Society in his or her individual family research.
  • To encourage the study of genealogy in general.
  • To encourage all efforts for the preservation of records of a genealogical nature.

The Society welcomes any individuals subscribing to the above goals and purposes.
