We want to call your attention to the 10:00 AM June 13 meeting of the Imperial St Landry Genealogical and Historical Society in the conference room of what is now called the "South Campus" of Opelousas General Hospital - the former Doctor's Hospital. Coffee and other refreshments will be served beginning at 9:30 AM.

The program will be presented by Harvey Wier in a Power Point format. In researching his family, Harvey learned that an ancestor served in the Confederate Army, in the Opelousas Guards which was Company F of the 8th Louisiana Infantry unit. He is a "student" of maps, and has learned the route traveled and where this military group served. He has made numerous trips to Gettysburg to photograph important objects and places as well as study and record the   information presented in the Museum of the Confederacy at Richmond, VA.

Some of you may be surprised to learn that an ancestor or kinsman of yours may have served in this unit which fought at many places including Gettysburg. Harvey will have a list of the names of all the area men who served in the company. This should be a very interesting and worthwhile program, and of interest to most of the people in and around Opelousas.

The members are urged to bring interested family and friends and the public is cordially invited to attend.

At the top of the page is a link to Roots Television. The website is very interesting. Not just the schedule for the Roots Television station (which we unfortunately can't receive in Opelousas) but links to all kinds of information, including video streams of the TV shows. Really informative.
