The Shreveport Library Genealogy Department with its exceptional staff has expedited and simplified lineal research for an uncountable number of SAR Patriot applications over the years.

The present Genealogy Department opened April 2, 2000, when the new Broadmoor Branch opened. It has about 25,000 genealogy artifacts. The Department occupies 8,000 square feet and the extensive range and depth of material available coupled with the genealogy experienced librarians are invaluable to the Galvez chapter. The library genealogy setting is ideal for extended genealogy research.

The Genealogy Department’s continued high level of research support is outstanding. It is with pleasure that the President Jerry Madden presented Genealogy Department Supervisor Matthew Hankins and Librarian Joe Slattery Sons of the American Revolution Certificate of Appreciation.
