The journal and census of Sieur de la Roque, from the Paris Archives, were prepared under the orders of M. le comte de Raymond, year of 1752. Joseph de La Roque began his work during the middle of winter and met many obstacles. This census seemed to have been done with care and contains many details very interesting. To us researchers, it is ideal for answering the questions that we ask, such as date, birth places, children, etc.
