    3. Hi all, Just wondering if anyone had the time & inclination to do a census lookup for me -- I live in the middle of rural nowhere and don't have any access to census records.... My ancestor, Theotiste Boudreaux, was the daughter of Benjamin Hilaire Boudreaux and Anna Isabel Ferguson. I have Benjamin's line traced pretty thoroughly, but Anna's is a total dead end. Anna was b. ca. 1768 and her parents were Anselm and Ann (Berry) Ferguson, possibly of Virginia. Anyhow, Theotiste married twice -- first to my forebear, Joseph Appolinaire Durocher, who died in 1822, and second (in 1827) to Martin Faite. I know she was still alive in 1840. What I'm hoping is that she was still alive in 1850 and 1860, at which time the census started giving more information. If someone has relatively easy access to census records, what I'm looking for is any information on Theotiste Faite, probably in Lafourche or Assumption Parish, LA -- the information I'm especially interested in is where her mother was born. I think the first census that has that information was the 1860 (is that right?) so I'm gambling that she was still alive -- she was born in 1802 so I think it's fairly likely that she was. And I doubt that there are that many Theotiste Faites around, so it shouldn't be too hard to find if she was actually still alive. Thanks in advance.... cheers, Gordon p.s. If anyone on the list descends from Anna Isabel's sister, Margaret Ferguson who m. David Kennedy or Canada -- I just found some great information on the Kennedys -- and from primary sources, yet! Drop me an email if you're interested.
