Find Your Roots @ the Library


Lafourche Parish has a long and fascinating history, and many of our residents come from families that have lived here since before the United States existed. If you're interested in seeing just how far back your own family goes, our genealogy collection can be a great place to start. Housed at our Thibodaux, Lockport, and South Lafourche branches, you can find everything from alphabetized public records to detailed family histories. You may find out that a distant cousin has already done a lot of the work for you.

Are you a more recent transplant? Not only may our print collection still have something for you, we also offer access to Ancestry.com! From any computer in any of our branches, you can dive deep into a world-renowned collection of materials such as census and immigration records to help you on your search. The world is always moving forward, but it never hurts to have a better understanding of where we've been.
