    1. [ACADIAN] A dilemma

    3. Am in need of some help with a small portrait in my possession. Years ago when I was given this small oval portrait I was told it was my husband's Grandmother. It was given to me by a member of his Babin-Bergeron family. I have ruled it out as being a paternal Grandmother. If it is a portrait of his maternal Grandmother, it would be of Antoinette Marie Babin, b Feb. 9, 1890 in Houma, La. Antoinette married Robert O. Bergeron Jan. 13, 1907 in Houma. She died Aug. 17, 1924 in New Orleans. La. and was buried in Houma, La. at age 34. What my problem is...the mode of her dress in the portrait. It seems to me the mode of dress is earlier than what would be worn in that time period. Does anyone know where I can search or have any ideas to find period outfits? I can send a copy of the portrait if that would be helpful. Thanks, Marsha
