Louisiana Postmistress and Postmaster Appointments 20 June 1866-17 November 1931
ISBN: 9780788453328 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Appointments of postmasters began in 1775 when our fledgling Congress named Benjamin Franklin as our first postmaster. In 1789, fourteen years after Benjamin's tenure (1775-1776), George Washington appointed Samuel Osgood as the first Postmaster General. In 1836, Congress ruled that appointments must be made by the president and confirmed by the Senate at post offices where the annual salary of an appointee exceeded the sum of $1,000.

Marriages & Deaths from the Caucasian, Shreveport, Louisiana, 1903-1913
ISBN: 9780788417771 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The marriage and death announcements presented here were extracted from microfilm copies of The Caucasian, a tri-weekly newspaper published at Shreveport, Louisiana. These references are a valuable resource for both white and African American genealogists seeking ancestors who lived in Caddo Parish from 1903 to 1913. Although newspaper articles of marriages and deaths do not indicate race, it seems likely that the subjects of these articles were white; the articles having been published during Segregation. However, the newspaper also included statistics on marriages and deaths reported by the...

Appointments of Postmasters in Louisiana, 12 January 1827-28 December 1892
ISBN: 9780788420900 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Postmaster General appointed postmasters from 1775, when Congress named Benjamin Franklin as the first Postmaster General, until 1836, when Congress ruled that postmasters must be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate at post offices where annual compensation of a postmaster exceeded one thousand dollars. In smaller post offices, the Postmaster General continued to make appointments. It is hoped that a number of readers will discover an ancestor once considered lost, or may find both male and female forebears emerging as postmasters as well as members of family groups....
