According to "Records Of Louisiana Confederate Soldiers" by Andrew B. Booth written in 1920, battles or skirmishes fought in St. Charles Parish between 1961-1965 were 1) Bonnet Carre--19 Oct 1862; 2) Boutte Station--5 Sep 1862; 3) Des Allemands--18 July 1863;
4) Des Allemands Bayou--20 & 22 of June and 4 Sep 1862; 5) St. Charles Courthouse-- 29 Aug, 7 & 8 Sep & 5 Oct 1864.
This book is available in public libraries and the soldiers are listed in alphabetical order. When you have your family traced back to this period, be sure to see if your ancestors fought in the Civil War in Louisiana.

I need your help and advice. My g-g-grandfather died in a troop train accident in St. Charles Parish during the Civil War. I am trying to locate his burial site. I cannot find an email address for you. Please email me.
