Thu Aug 28 07:58:08 1997 Searching for information on POIRIER family. My
gggreatgrandfather, Adolphe POIRIER married Arcilae GARCILLE FLORES in
1871 in DeSoto Parish. I am looking for his parents. I believe they might
have been Francois POIRET b. 1799 (?mispelled on 1850 federal St Landry
census) and Celeste b. 1802. Francois and Celeste had at least six other
children: Eulodie b. 1825, Florentine b. 1827, Caroline b.1829, Emma b.
1838, Estelle b. 1842, and Emile b. 1844. Adolphe and Arcilae died, I believe,
in one of the yellow fever epidemics between 1870 and 1880 because their
daughter, Susan (Sudie) Uraine POIRIER, was listed as an orphan on the
1880 census and living with Huston (Hauston) POIRIER (?son of Francois
also) and his wife M. Louisa. Also, a Gerant (Grant)GARCILLE b. 1842 (?
brother to Arcilae) is listed on the 1850 census living with a laborer
Victor JANEAU and his family next door to Francois(who was a planter).
Help me make some connections!

Sun Sep 7 11:11:55 1997 I am seeking information on the second generation
of the ADAM family. My grandmother and her siblings as we know it, begins
the fifth generation of the ADAM family. We have marriage records of the
third generation but cannot parental information. My genealogy begins with
Betsy and Pierre ADAM(s) who arrived in America with their five grandchildren.
Their slave ship arrive at the dock on the Bayou LaFourche near the Fruge
Bridge. The grandchildren are Francois, Anatasie, Pierre, Carmelite and
John Telesmas ADAM. We know that Betsy and Carmelite were sold as a unit
to the DesElome Plantation. The others were sold to surrounding plantations.
1. Carmelite ADAM The grandchild Carmelite married William BROWN in the
Catholic Church of Arnaudville of St. Landry Parish on September 12, 1877.
Her brothers Francois and Pierre were witnesses during the ceremony. 2.
John Telesmas ADAM The grandchild John Telesmas, married Eleonore DAVID
on February 12, 1881 in the same Catholic church. He and his wife relocated
to New Iberia, LA. He signed his name as ADAM on the marriage certificate.
This grandchild was my grandmother's grandfather. However, my grandmother
stated that she had never met her fraternal grandparents or great-grandparents.
3. Francois ADAM The grandchild Francois married Rose BAKER on December
1, 1880 at the same Catholic church. His brother John Telemas witnessed
the ceremony. They lived in Prairie Boss on the Olivier Plantation. This
grandchild signed her name as ADAMS instead of ADAM on the marriage certificate.
He signed his name as ADAM on the marriage certificate. 4. Anatasie ADAMS
The grandchild Anatasie married Paul CHARLES on August 19, 1872 in the
Parish of St. Landry. Her brother Francois witnessed the ceremony. She
signed her name as ADAMS on the marriage certificate. 5. Pierre ADAM The
only information we have on the grandchild Pierre, is that he was the youngest
grandson and he was a witness his sister Carmelite's wedding on September
12, 1877. To this date, we do not have any parental information on these
grandchild except we know they are siblings. We do not know who the children
are of Pierre and Betsy ADAM (Slaves). We do know their history in America
(Louisiana) began in the early 1800 and they settled in the Parish of St.
Landry. Can you help us with the missing second generation link to our
tree?

if right man) and age 35. I have located him in 1880 living in Vernon Parish
(Elmswood) with a family which appears to be a possible second marriage
as the children's ages are widely separated. Oral history indicates that
he was possibly an accountant or bookkeeper for the State of LA (unconfirmed
at BR.) There is a possible identification of a Sarah JOHNSTON married
to a William H KELLER Oct 17,1842 which would be a good match as he was
born in 1824. Thanks for any guidance.

I am looking for info on Justin REYNOLDS who married Marie Francis FONTENOT
22 Dec 1841 in St. Landry Parish. Would like info also on Marie Francis
FONTENOT.
Searching for information on my gg grandmother, Marie Melaide LEBLANC,
born abt 1848. She married Joseph Julien DOUCET on 10 July 1861 in St.
Landry parish. Their children were: Edmond, Joseph Lastie and Josephine
who was born in 1866, which is the last date that I can find concerning
her. There was a divorce and there is circumstantial evidence that would
indicate that possible grounds for this divorce did exist in abt 1865 while
Joseph was serving in the Civil war. Some family sources say Marie may
have been from Acadia parish, some say her family came from Lafayette parish.
I need any clue as to what happened to her after 1866. May help me find
who her parents were. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
