About LA Creole

The Louisiana Creole Research Association, Inc., known as LA Creole, was founded on August 21, 2004 as a New Orleans-based, non-profit genealogy and family research organization. Its purpose is to assist Creoles of Color in researching their ancestry, to educate the general public about Creole culture, and to celebrate the contributions and legacy of a unique, sometimes forgotten people.
