M.SIGGA Posted February 4, 2004 Author Share Posted February 4, 2004 ok since it's official so I say lets hop a plane and go get paid, because it's only right since my black-line is most probably the product of slavery, seduction, and rape.

hyperdulia again Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Thank you for those sites Sigga. But almost everything I've said has been privately published in overly thick books of genealogical tables and family anecdotes. My late grandfather's sister wrote one called The Lanottes. About reperations, my black ancestors obviously started out as slaves themselves, but the Crenshaws et al (there's a whole County named for the Crenshaws) were some the Biggest slave-holders in this state in fact there's a story that makes of the old people laugh about how Lionel Crenshaw and his wife Maria Beatriz Shorter got six months of work out of their slaves after the war by just not telling them they were free.

CICCIO Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 (edited) My parish was established for African American Catholics who moved up here from the south. Its a great church, quite small, but the community is so stong. Many of our parishoners are professors, writers for the news paper, and other figure heads in the area. The mayor also attends mass there too. And although we are located in the 'ghetto', our church is quite diverse. I love it!!

hyperdulia again Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Sigga did you know the Bourbon-Orleans's have in s century filed suitr and recieved a tremendous amount of the Conti and Conde lands and money based on the will of the last Conde (she was a nun in the napoleonic era), she left her claims to her Orleans kin. I suggest we go to France and challen them for your birth right (I say your, because my ancestry is illegitimate). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mine is illegitimate too - free people, but as chidren from the master and his concubine anyway I'm so displaced and twice removed and *colored* I don't think it will mean anything to the French government.

M.SIGGA Posted February 5, 2004 Author Share Posted February 5, 2004 thanks for the links cmom. to hyper and (everyone else) This is the best Creole heritage website on the web: http://www.gensdecouleur.com/index.html This is a site to see all your family's Louisiana slave transactions. Before the Civil War my family had a total of 114, mostly house slaves since my family lived primarily in the city and their plantations were relatively small http://www.ibiblio.org/laslave/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
