Louisiana Census - 1910

Using online images of the U.S. census (www.ancestry.com), I have been extracting the Pitre families from the parishes in which Pitres are most prolific. I am placing my transcriptions of these entries online (links appear below). Please contact me if you have queries, corrections, or a specific reference (parish, district, ward, page #) you’d like checked.

My extractions include only the parent/s, children, ages, occupations, location, and others at the address. There are also Acadian-surname families within some parishes that have race as black or mulatto (mixed race parentage). These families were most probably the descendants of slaves from the various plantations and farms and quite likely were either given or took the surname of the owner as their own surname once slavery was abolished. Race is white unless indicated otherwise: B for black, mul for mulatto.

I have included the reference for the entry if you wish to access or order the census page itself. The entire entry includes the following:
