Father Hebert produced a lot of genealogy books containing SW
Louisiana records. Just a few years before his death, he released a CD
that contains some of those records. On that CD, he abbreviated Church
names. For example, GC stands for Sacred Heart Church, Grand Coteau,
LA. I visited a library and copied the abbreviations used, but
apparently the abbreviations I copied didn't contain "all" of the
church abbreviations used, because the church name for the
abbreviation RC isn't listed. I now find that I really need to know
what "RC" stands for so I can determine the place for the births of
several members of a family. So the question: Does anyone know what
the abbreviation "RC" for a church name in Father Hebert's records
stands for?

You should use the list in the last book of a series since the
codes are those for the current book and more churches appear in
the next volumes. And each series is independant, i.e. not the
same churches.
Do you remember the series and the volume number (or the year) ?
GC is in SWLR. Vol. 1 stops in 1810 but many more books are
available.
RC can be Rayne, St.Leo, not sure (my notes are fuzzy, so many
years back, maybe 20 years ago).

buried in other text, and sure enough, it's St. Leo IV Church.
