Rousseau family in LA

Carol Thomas — 7 Sep 2005 8:49:35 GMT

Hi,

I saw your query on Genforum and wondered if you could help me.
I am looking for the parents of Julien Rousseau.
Julien was on the 1830 census in Orleans County, Louisiana, age between
40 and 50.
Julien Rousseau married Jeanne Renaud.
Their daughter Julie Zoe Rousseau was born in 1825 in New Orleans,
LA. Julie married John Sharkey.
That's all I have on Julien, though maybe he is from France.

If you have any information on Julien Rousseau, please let me know, I
would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you so much for your time and trouble.

Thank you,
Carol

Albert and Madeline Lee of Vermilion Parrish La.

Mary_Henss — 30 Jun 2004 5:41:32 GMT

Hello, My name is Mary and I looking for the LEE Family of Vermilion Parish La.
Albert was from England, arriving sometime around 1900 to 1920. What port he arrived at is unknown.
Madeline was from France, arriving the same time period. Thier son Bailey Lee was born in 1921 and lived his adult life in Fl.
Madeline's maiden name is a problem, I have only heard it and never seen it written down. MUSCOPATE is how it sounds. That doesn't look very French to me! But then again what do I know..lol. I tried looking in sites that list French surnames and came up empty.
I am hoping someone here will know this family or at the very least how to spell MUCOPATE correctly!
I did find a SS index listing for Albert and Madeline Lee. I assume they were married because of the ages and the places they lived.
Albert born 1893, died 1982.
Madeline born 1894 died 1975
They both have listed as localities:
Abbeville, Cow Island, Forked Island, and Meaux. These are all located in Vermilion Louisiana.
Thanks very much for taking the time to read this. Mary

Bodin

Vaiton — 10 Dec 2004 6:48:19 GMT

There's a Marie Rose de Bodin w/o J B Louis Gareau. They were born c. 1740-1750 in San Doming. I'm trying to determine if my MariAnne Gareau b.c. 1780 (w/o Francois Monde) is connected to this couple.

Bodin Researchers?

Thanks,

Bernard....LA. PA. Switzerland

Vaiton — 10 Dec 2004 6:29:50 GMT

Hi,

I have an ancestor listed as Ysabel Bernard b.c. 1785. She's in the New Orleans Sacramental records in 1810 showing her original residence as Switzerland.
She's the wife of Emanuel Gossin also of Switzerland. They lived in PA before arriving in NOLA.
There's a Frank Bernard on Carondelet cor of Poydras in the 1822 City Directory. He's possibly connected to Ysabel Bernard as she lived at Tchoupitoulas and Poydras.

Familiar to any Bernard researchers?

Thanks,
Naurine

Irma Angeline Champeaux

linaik — 5 Sep 2005 10:39:58 GMT

I'm looking for information on Irma Angeline Champeaux, daughter of Albert Champeaux and Cecelia Dugas. She married Mike Brocoto and / or Bozzio Tauzin. Her daughter, Eunice Ann Tauzin was my grandmother.

I have located Irma Angeline in the 1900 and 1910 census records as a child in the household of Albert Champeaux. In 1910 (when my grandmother is supposed to have been 3 years old), she is listed as 22, single, and no children are listed for her. The family was living in St. Martin Parish, Jury Ward 1.

I know that my grandmother lived in a bayou with her parents, but I don't know which one. She left Louisiana around 1925 with the Reynaud family from New Iberia.

If anyone has any information on this family, please post here or email me at annie_610@hotmail.com.

Thanks!

Researching CASTAING and ROSSIGNOL

44824282 — 29 Mar 2003 6:43:38 GMT

Researching Marie-Amélie CASTAING born 1/23/1848 in Frechede, Haute Pyrennees, France. She emigrated with her husband Henri ROSSIGNOL and their daughters Celeste, Julie Lucie, Marie Simmone, Justine Marie and Elisa, to New Orleans in 1887.
In the 1900 LA census, it reads that the family resided in Orleans parish; Henri kept a saloon in the Distric and their son Henry_b. in the U.S._was a bartender. Daughters and Amelie were all living and at home.
It's possible that the children had married and moved out of parish, state, hence my posting here.
I'd appreciate very much hearing from a descendant or somebody who has info about the Rossignols.
