Ascension Parish
French: Paroisse de
l'Ascension
Ascension
is a parish located in the U.S. state of Louisiana. It is one of the
fastest growing parishes in the state. Its population is estimated to be
20,000 to 30,000 residents greater than the 2000 census. One of the major
reasons for parish growth is the number of families wanting to move their
children from the East Baton Rouge Parish public schools to the
higher-performing Ascension public school system. For a time, Hurricane
Katrina also brought in new residents from surrounding areas, but
Ascension Parish President Ronnie Hughes said that the influx of hurricane
victims has decreased and remains a small percent of growth.

Welcome to
this Louisiana Genealogy Trails Website.
My name is Janice,
and I am your host for Louisiana. If you would like to submit data
for this site, please email me
with your submissions. Happy Trails to you on your quest for your
ancestors.
This is a new site, fashioned after our successful Illinois
Trails websites, and we hope
to soon add data here that can help Louisiana researchers as much as we've
been able to help our Illinois researchers.
We need some help to do that though - volunteers to host these county
websites. If you can make a basic webpage, and you have a desire to
transcribe data for the free use of all researchers, we can use your
talents!
