Louisiana Census Notes
Louisiana is divided into parishes
rather than the counties most of
us are familiar with.
The Census Tables for the French Colony of Louisiana from 1699 Through 1732 are the earliest available for the state of Louisiana. This collection of 28 censuses along with many other early Louisiana genealogy databases can be accessed by subscription. See
1699-1732 Census Tables for the French Colony of Louisiana
