I am new to genealogy and could use some help on where to look for more information on my father’s side of the family. Any help of where to look on the Internet or in Crowley would be much appreciated. My husband wanted to go to Jazz Fest in New Orleans, so I am going to take the time and drive to Crowley for a few days. Is there a good place to do research in Crowley or the general area?


From the research I have done, my paternal grandfather, Clarence was born in Crowley, LA in about 1909. He was listed on the 1910 census as age 2 with his parents, Paul and Louise. Their address was 459 W Hutchinson Avenue in Crowley.

Their sir name was listed as Declouet. I did find a letter from Louise addressed to my father in 1952 and she spelled his name as De Cluitte and I have since found many spellings for the same name.

Thanks in advance for any help. I can be emailed at janhiggy@yahoo.com.
