Louisiana Cemeteries

Twenty-two volumes of Louisiana tombstone inscriptions were collected by members of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and deposited with the DAR Library in Washington, D.C. These were microfilmed in 1970 and are available at the Family History Library (Family History Library ). Another DAR collection containing tombstone inscriptions is described in the “Genealogy” section.
