Research At The National Archives And Beyond!

Join Antoinette Harrell and Stephanie Quiett Martin for a discussion on documenting and preserving family, and community history in the Louisiana Florida Parishes. The Parishes are East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, Livingston, St. Helena, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Washington and West Feliciana. The United States annexed most of West Florida in 1810. It quickly incorporated the area that became the Florida Parishes into the Territory of Orleans, which became the U.S. state of Louisiana in 1812. In 1990, the state of Louisiana formally designated the region " the Republic of West Florida Historic Region, or the Florida Parishes." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Parishes
