My American lineage is German, French and Spanish. My paternal grandmother hails from St. Bernard Parish around Delacroix and she has the mixture of the Isleno (Canary Island Spanish) and old French in her background. The Islenos have been down there since the early 1700's and hey sort of inter-married with the French. My Paternal Grandfather is very much German who came over right after the Civil War.
Mom's side is a mixture of English (Grandfather) and Greek from Melbourne Australia. Papa was sent to Melbourne during WWII and met a nice Greek girl before being shipped out and serving in Borneo mostly.....got back to Melbourne towards the end of the war, stuck around for a while married Ma Ma and then took her to Auckland where he was from.

My 5th great grandfather on my dads side was born in southwestern Normandy in 1701 and he was sent here as a soldier in 1720.
His future bride arrived here from eastern Brittany in 1740 and they were married in Natchitoches. They settled in Point Coupee then their children moved to Avoyelles.
I’ve never studied my moms side. Her last name is still very common in Avoyelles.
