Richland
Parish
Richland
Parish was created on September 29,1868
, from Ouachita, Carroll, Franklin
and Morehouse Parishes and the
parish was named in honor of its
rich land . The Parish seat is
Rayville . Certain sections of
land now in Richland Parish were
included in the land grants of
Baron de Bastrop de Maison Rouge,
whose obligation it was to bring
settlers into the area. These
lands in Richland marked the
eastern extremity of Batstrop’s
grant of over a million acres
which had made him the largest
property holder n the Louisiana
Territory at one time

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!
Review our Volunteer
Information
and email
Kim.
In the meantime,
join
our mailing list
to be kept apprised of updates to
this website.
