  • A Genealogical Research
    GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH IN THE EDITH GARLAND DUPRÉ LIBRARY Guide and Selected Bibliography Edith Garland Dupré Library University of Louisiana at Lafayette June 2017 INTRODUCTION The Edith Garland Dupré Library and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette are pleased to provide facilities for research in genealogy and family history. You should realize, however, that such study requires serious intent and the commitment of long hours of work. Genealogists must be diligent and inventive. You will delve into a bewildering array of church, family, local, state, federal, and even foreign documents. Interpreting such records often requires a strong grounding in history in order to comprehend their nature and biases. Genealogical research relies on primary and secondary sources. Primary sources are original documents, such as birth, death and marriage records, passenger lists or court records. Secondary sources are works based on primary sources, including published genealogies and histories, and abstracts of original records. Primary sources are generally preferred over secondary sources, but even they are not infallible. It is always necessary to remember the purpose for which the record was made, and how knowledgeable the person supplying the information was. While the Library contains information on every part of the United States and many foreign countries, the focus of our genealogical holdings is the Acadiana region of Louisiana. This guide will provide general information for beginning genealogists at the Dupré Library. WHERE TO BEGIN Start at home! Your own knowledge and that of your relatives form the basis for genealogical research. Besides personal recollections, see what written information can be gleaned from such sources as family bibles, vital records, military certificates, clippings, diaries, letters, baby books, photograph albums, the backs of pictures, etc.
