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.

I always grew up knowing I was an 8th Cherokee and the rest was pretty much a French/Spanish mix until my grandma did DNA tests and apparently I’m more Irish than anything.
Not that anyone cares, and Alabama ruined college football.
