No, but why would I. We use parishes here but you only ever seen them on property titles and they don't match our local government areas called either councils or in the country, shires. It's a good trivia question.
Hi Sandra - I certainly didn't know that ... odd - especially as Louisiana was only ceded to the British in the late 1700s - strange ... and interesting about Alaska as Bleubeard and Elizabeth note - cheers Hilary

News to me. I wonder why?
Nope, had no idea 🤷♂️

Something strange. I click on the jack rabbit question and I arrive here.
Yes, I knew that. And Alaska has boroughs, which are not to be confused with NYC boroughs.

I did not know this, nor did I know the one below! I obviously know very little...if not nuttin' at all! :)
Yup, I knew that.
Yes, that I did know.
I didn't know! Xo
I had no idea but I’m not surprised.
Good question. From what I read, it comes from Louisiana's roots in Catholicism.
Neither did I, HG:)
I had no idea, but why not? Hugs, Valerie
Nope. No reason, why you should:)
Re: Jackrabbit. That was my fault. I put the wrong release date on the post. Drrr.
I did not know about Alaska. Interesting.
My understanding is that it goes back to when it was ruled by Spain and France and the inhabitants were mainly Catholic.
I didn't
Thumbs up on that:)
Your Thursday U.S. factoid:)
Oh huh.
Excellent!
Good job, Jamie:)
Your Louisiana factoid for the week, Denise:)
You certainly can't accuse them of conformity:)
Hugs received and returned.
Yes! One for me. For anyone keeping count, it's about Sandra 30, Jacqui 2 (for stuff I knew).
No lo sabia te mando un beso.
You know, I knew they had parishes, but I don't think I knew what they were replacing.
Another fact not known Sandra.
Take care.
Yvonne.
I actually did!
Good job!
I didn't !
All the best Jan
Understandably so, J.P.
I'm sending you a hug.
Good on you for knowing they had parishes, Shannon:)
No reason you'd know this one, Yvonne;)
Cheers,
Thumbs up!
No reason at all that you would:)
Cheers,
