    1. Re: [ACADIAN] possible name changes
    2. Marsha wrote: I am researching two people from c. 1800 Louisiana. I think the names have been Americanized or something. The names are as follows: DETRESSE, Evan (possibly DUTRESSE?) LEFAIBRE, Claudio Epiphanio "possibly DeFeuvre"? Rosalie Charlotte GUZMAN was an Acadian immigrant at age 21, aboard L'Amitie in 1785 with her father Jean, mother Marie Rosalie BONNEVIE, and baby brother. She must have married soon after arrival since there is a son buried on 4 Dec 1789 in St. Bernard Parish, LA. New Orleans Archives, Sacramental Records, vol. 4, 1784-1790, p. 319: Simon Glod [WEBER, sic] son of Clod Epifan DE FEBRE & Rosalia Carlota GUZMAN, infant (SBSB, F1, 7). Another son was born, baptized at New Orleans (NOSR, vol. 5, p. 104): Carlos [DE FEUVRE], son of Lodio Epiphanio, native of Caillouelle in Picardy [Caillouel-Crepigny, dept. of Aisne], & Rosalia Carlota GUZMAN, of Canada, of San Pedro de Mi[cl]on [St. Pierre-et-Miquelon], born 21 Aug 1791, baptized 26 Aug 1791. Sponsors: Carlos ZISETE, of Rosel in France, & Maria DE VERCHERON, of Canada. Grandparents were named: paternal, Lodio DE FEUVRE & Mariana TUILLIE of Caillouelle; maternal, Juan GUZMAN, of Seville, & Rose BO[N/R]VILLE, of Canada (SLC, B11, 156). It looks like Rosalie married again and had another child. There is an Evan Clement DETRESSE born 17 Jan 1796, baptized at New Orleans on 20 Apr 1797, son of Evan Juan DETRESSE , native of New York, & Rosalia Carlota GUZMAN, of Alifax [Halifax, Nova Scotia]. Marginal note in NO register : died 27 May 1833 (SLC, B14, 30). Maternal grandparents were named: Juan GUZMAN & Rosa BONNEVIE. Sponsors were Clemente LA BARRE & Luisa RAPIEO (Sacramental Records, vol. 6, 1796-1799, p. 92). Karen Theriot Reader
