Please put me on the list... details: I'm born & raised San Francisco, but was adopted at birth. LaFever is my birth mother's maiden name - from Oklahoma (I changed the name from Long to LaFever after both adoptive parents passed... I've been researching the acadian background and was wondering if that possibility exists... I know the majority of the immigrants from Nova Scotia migrated down the Mississippi to the Louisiana delta, but I'm sure some settled along the way.

Does anyone have any information on a Marie Leblanc or Mary Tesson who married Odressi/Odressie/Odressy Toups on October 3rd or 10th, 1889 in Houma, Louisiana? His name may have been Jules Odressy Toups or Odressie George Toups. South LA Records v. 8 p. 465 Toups, Odressi m. 10 Oct 1889 Marie Leblanc; ; Houma Ch-6a, 36 Toups, Odressy m. 3 Oct 1889 Mary Tesson; Houma Ct Hse Mar-23, #355 There is a Jules Odressy Toups b. Aug 15, 1864 in Houma, LA s/o Joseph Toups and Coralie Thibodaux. I believe that Marie Leblanc and Mary Tesson are the same person, and that the above Jules Odressy Toups is the one who married her. Thanks! : ) dj
