I used to receive automatic notices from Creole Gen.org, event made a donation last year, but for some reason have not received any notices since early 2018? What’s up?
Hi Louis, I am so sorry you are having this problem. I will see that this matter is looked into as soon as possible and will get back to you… Lolita
I appreciate all of the nostalgic information. I am a decedent of Mrs. Virginia Barnes Thompson. My grandfather, Mr. Moses P. Thompson, is my late Mother (Ms. Sylvia Velma THOMPSON’s) daughter. It has inspired me to visit New Orleans.
You guys are awesome!!!!
Thank you
Hello, my name is Gail Kenney, I am looking for information on a school that Mr. Rosenwald had built up here in Plain Dealing on Hwy 2, between Red River and the Town of Plain Dealing, in Bossier Parrish. I’m tracing my family tree and visit the history section in Bossier City often. The librarian and I were talking, I told her I like exploring and the conversation of course went on. She mentioned a school on Hwy 2 that later was used as the North Bossier Civic Center, but she hadn’t seen it from the Hwy in years. I told her I checked into it, of course a lot of brush has grown up, or it had fallen. I was in the library the other day when she told me it was a Rosenwald School, and here I am. I don’t know If my lineage connects to it or not, but the school is history, and that’s what counts and even if a small piece of it exists still pictures of its last known location would be historical. Do you have any maps perhaps (old) that I can study or something that could give me more clues? My email is: ladywolfe001@yahoo.com. I thank you so very much…….
Gail
