From Stephen A. White, Dictionnaire des Familles Acadiennes pages 1100-1103. Pierre, (s/o Alexandre Lord dit Lamontagne and Marie-Francoise Barrieau) was born/baptized at Port Royal 12 Dec. 1724/29 March 1725 (he had been given a private emergency baptism by Pierre Lanoue). The godfather was Pierre Doucet, son of Rene Doucet and the godmother was his sister Anne. He appears in documents of New York, 1763 and Champflore [Martinique], 1766. He married Elisabeth Martin (d/o Etienne and Marie-Jeanne Comeau) at Port Royal 30 Jan 1747. He was buried at St-Pierre de Martinique 24 Jan 1782 at age 51 (sic). This Pierre's children are not listed since his family will appear in the next part of the Dictionnaire. However, the first part covers his parents and 11 siblings as well as his grandparents, Julien Lord dit Lamontagne and Anne (Anne-Charlotte) Girouard and their nine children. His parents were married about 1701 and his grandparents about 1675. All of the families appear under the heading LORD (LAURE, L'OR) dit LAMONTAGNE No mention is made of a second marriage to Marguerite Leblanc and it appears unlikely since his wife Elisabeth Martin was also buried at St-Pierre de Martinique 12 June 1791 [White, page 1139] , more than nine years after he was buried. There is a 36-37 year span between the marriage of this Pierre and the date you give for the marriage of Charles so it is possible that there could be a generation in between or possibly another Pierre descended from the other sons of Julien that is not included in the first part of the Dictionnaire. .

The Archdiocese of New Orleans [ADNO] Sacramental Records, v.2. [1751-1771] contain birth and marriage records for the Acadians who arrived in that period. I've posted the 1764 Arrival information previously and I've been planning to prepare a page for all the entries. I now have completed the entries for A-C. For marriages, the spousal information and children is indented below the entry to have all the information together. The page is at http://www.thecajuns.com/adnov2.htm For convenience, I placed the 1764 arrival information at the top. Stanley LeBlanc http://www.thecajuns.com
From Arsenault p. 638 PIERRE Laure, 1727, s\o Alexandre and Francoise Barillot, m. at Port Royal on Jan. 30 1747 to Elizabeth Martin, d\o Etienne and Marie Comeau, and most likely married a second time about 1760 to Marguerite LeBlanc. Children of 1st marriage: Basile, 1748; Anne, 1750; Marie, 1754. Children of 2nd marriage: Charles, avt. 1761. Hope this helps..... Bernadette D.

Hi Sue - Julien Lord dit Lamontagne married Anne (Anne-Charlotte) Girouard abt 1675. They are the progenitors of the Lord/Laure/L'Or dit Lamontagne family. Julien and Anne had 9 children and this family was enumerated in various censuses in Port-Royal. According to Bona Arsenault, your Pierre Laure married twice. Born in 1724 to Alexandre Lord/Laure and Françoise Barillot, he married 1. Elizabeth Martin on 30 January 1747. She was the d/o Etienne and Marie Comeau. It is would seem that he married a second time to Marguerite LeBlanc abt 1760. He does not list her parents. Page 638 for Port-Royal. Because Bona states that "it seems" he would have married a second time - therefore, this would have to be confirmed before accepting as factual.

National Day of the Acadians, August 15th, 2003. Celebrate with us at the Acadian Memorial! Highlight of the Day - Mural Characters Now Have a Voice Join us for the premiere of a new mural audio interactive project at the Acadian Memorial. The characters have been looking out silently since the creation of artist, Robert Dafford's " The Arrival of the Acadians in Louisiana" was completed. Now because of a grant from the Louisiana Endowment of the Humanities written by Sylvia Bienvenu and Brenda Comeaux Trahan, the project, "Putting a Face on Acadian History," allows the characters to tell their stories of leaving their homeland by force, of their arrival in a new home in Louisiana and of the separation with their family members forever. The narratives tell the tales of Acadian mural characters through research from, Dr. Carl Brasseaux, author and Professor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and Christy Maraist, AM Foundation President. Raymond Hebert serves as narrator of the program with characters Elizabeth Thibodeaux Brasseaux played by Earlene Broussard, Joseph Broussard dit Beausoleil played by Richard ! Landry, Joseph Semer played by John Albert Landry, and Olivier Theriot played by Philippe Gustin. This very emotional program is being enjoyed by many tourist, school children and Acadians themselves. Special guest will be Representative W.J."Billy" Tauzin who will be made Honorary Acadian of the Day. Artist of the mural, Robert Dafford, will be present to hear the mural characters who he painted, come alive with an emotional presentation of the Acadians' survival. We look forward to your presence. Refreshments will be served. Merci, Brenda Comeaux Trahan Curator / Director Acadian Memorial

Hi Stanley, Thanks for the response. This entry that you included is the marriage of my 5th Grandfather who arrived from Santa Dominque. ADNO, v.2. has the burial of Marguerite Martin on 1/29/1752 [not an Acadian]but there is the marriage of Pierre Michel [Jacques and Anne Breau], antive of Port Royal in Acadia to Marie Leger on March 3, 1766 Yes there was a MICHEL line that was German present in the area as well, but can be identified fairly easy for the first names given the children. As usual, you are a great help, THANKS Andy

In a message dated 8/10/2003 5:26:15 PM Central Daylight Time, ACADIAN-CAJUN-D-request@rootsweb.com writes: > Which Diocese? > For the years in question, 1747 - 1767, the area of New Orleans and the German Coast were under two different diocese. Under the French regime, it was under the Diocese of Quebec, and when the Spanish took over in latter 1760's, it became a part of the Diocese of Havana. The records that would have been from the old German Coast church on the West Bank of St. Charles Parish, and would have included the marriage of Marie Agnes Falgoust and Joseph Michel, were later housed at the Church of St. Charles at Destrehan (known as the Little Red Church), and were destroyed in a rectory firein the 1800's. I have done extensive research on the Falgoust families for my book, "Falgoust, a History and Genealogy, 1555-1988" and I could not find a civil marriage contract in New Orleans, St. Charles Parish, or St. John the Baptist Parish for her marriage. Of course, there is always a possibility that one might exist, which I might have overlooked at the time of my research. Marie Agnes Falgoust had five chidren by her first husband, Joseph Michel: 1. Marie Louise Michel, m. 10 July 1792 at St. James Catholic Church to Paul Pertuis, s/o Francois Pertuis and Angele Lepine. (SJA-2, No. 16) 2. Euphrosine Michel, m. April 19, 1802 at St. James Catholic Church to Jean Baptiste Montet, s/o Jacques Montet and Marianne Durande of Chateauroux, Diocese of d'Embrun in Dauphine. (SJA-2, No. 61) 3. Hyacinthe Michel, m. at St. James Catholic Church on June 17, 1794 to Jean Baptiste Delaune, s/o Christophe Delaune and Marie Boudreaux of Nantes, France. (SJA-2, No. 24 & 25) 4. Joseph Michel, m. at St. James Catholic Church on February 20, 1797 to Marie Magdelene Pertuis, d/o of Francois Pertuit and Angelique Lepine. (SJA-2, No. 37) 5. Pierre Michel, native of St. John the Baptist Parish, m. at St. James Church on February 2, 1807 to Celeste Guedry, d/o of Jacques Guedry and Anne Marie Bonvillain. (SJA-2, No. 102) Marie Agnes Falgoust married a second time to Jean Lignac. They had a child: 6. Celesie Lignac, b. St. John the Baptist Parish, m. at St. James Catholic Church on December 5, 1808 to James Price of London, s/o William Price and Rebecca Harrison. Marie Agnes Falgoust died in St. James Parish, and her burial was recorded, as follows: "The 10 of August, eighteen hundred thirty, the body of Marie Falgoust, widow of Jean Lignaque, aged 89 years, was buried in the parish cemetery." Signed: Chs. De la Croix (St. Michel Church, Convent, Burials, Item 8, Pg. 89) There is a discrepancy of six years between her actual age and that stated in her burial record; she was actually 83 years old. The succession of Marie Agnes Falgoust was filed by her heirs in the Lafourche Parish Courthouse on September 11, 1830. The record named all of her children. (If you want to e-mail me, I can send you a translation.) I know this doesn't answer your question concerning the parentage of Joseph Michel, but I hope the other information will be useful to you.

ADNO, v.3. has the following children for Joseph and Marie Agnes Falgot [Falgoust, Falgo, Forgou] born in St. John the Baptist Parish: Alexandre - 7/13/1782 Euphrosine - 7/2/1780 Hiachinte - 1/21/1776 , buried 9/18/1777 Josette Victoire - 3/15/1778 Magdelaine - buried 1/2/1779 Marie Louise - 2/24/1774 ADNO, v.4 has the burial of a son Luis on 8/8/1790 at age 25. Shown under Miquel [Michel] Note: ADNO, v.4 also has the marriage of Maria from St. Malo [Francois and Ana Daigle] to Jacob Dubois. ADNO, v.2. has the burial of Marguerite Martin on 1/29/1752 [not an Acadian]but there is the marriage of Pierre Michel [Jacques and Anne Breau], antive of Port Royal in Acadia to Marie Leger on March 3, 1766 ADNO, v.1 has several entries for St. Charles Borromeo and St. Louis Church for Michel so Michel was apparently a French [Swiss?] line in La. in early days as well as an Acadian line. Stanley LeBlanc http://www.thecajuns.com P.S. The Martin line was French, Acadian and Spanish. -----Original Message----- From: Roger A.
