Seeking help with researching your ancestors? Overcome obstacles with the assistance of a professional researcher. Our Mammy's connects you with experienced researchers in Louisiana African American genealogy. Whether you need packages or hourly services, we can assist you.
By joining a genealogy and historical society, you will gain access to a wealth of programs that can expand your knowledge about specific events, people, and places. These societies are made up of experts in history and genealogy who can provide invaluable insight. Some of Our Mammy's top picks include the Algiers Historical Society and the West Baton Rouge Genealogy Society.
Connect with other researchers by using social media. You can find and join Facebook groups to link up with people who are researching in the parishes where your ancestors lived. These groups often share photos, maps, and information about the people who lived in Louisiana's 64 parishes. Just search for the parish where your ancestors lived and ask to join the group. If there's no genealogy group for the parish you're looking into, think about starting one to connect with others. Don't forget to follow Our Mammy's while you are logged in. #ourmamys www.facebok.com/ourmammys
