Lincoln Parish, Louisiana Genealogy        

Lincoln Parish (French: Paroisse de Lincoln) is a parish located in the U.S. state of Louisiana. As of the 2010 census, the population was 46,735. The parish seat is Ruston. The parish was created on February 24, 1873 from parts of Bienville, Claiborne, Union, and Jackson parishes, and its boundaries have changed only once in 1877. This makes Lincoln parish one of the Reconstruction parishes. Lincoln Parish comprises the Ruston, LA Micropolitan Statistical Area

    Lincoln is a relativly new parish and you may eventually find that you will have to do some of your research in one of the adjacent areas. When you research the Lincoln Parish area you will discover that in the decades between 1810 thru 1870 the area had been under the control of many different parishes. Many records were transferred to Lincoln Parish when it was formed, but it is not likely they all were. So be sure to check Claiborne, Bienville, Jackson, Ouachita or Union parish if your Lincoln Parish research starts to turn stale. Go to the Pre Parish Map of Lincoln Parish to assist you with your research.
