Afro-Louisiana History and Genealogy
In 1984, a professor at Rutgers University stumbled upon a trove of historic data in a courthouse in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana. Over the next 15 years, a  New Orleans writer and historian, painstakingly uncovered the background of 100,000 slaves who were brought to Louisiana in the 18th and 19th centuries making fortunes for their owners.

1860 Slave Census Schedule
(NARA microfilm series M653, Roll 427) reportedly includes a total of 8,570 slaves. This transcription includes the 42 slaveholders who held 40 or more slaves in East Baton Rouge Parish, accounting for3,432 slaves, or 40% of the Parish total. The rest of the slaves in the Parish were held by a total of 609 slaveholders, and those slaveholders have not been included here. Due to variable film quality, handwriting interpretation questions and inconsistent counting and page numbering methods used by the census enumerators, interested researchers should view the source film personally to verify or modify the information in this transcription for their own purposes.
