A few years ago, I put together all the SWLR entries I had on the two families of SW Louisiana in which the husband is Joseph LANDRY and the wife is Marie MELANÇON. It is possible to determine, for each child and grandchild of these families, to which of the two families each person belongs. I put all this into a web page whose URL is: http://www-faculty.cs.uiuc.edu/~friedman/genealogy/Joseph-Marie.htm I recently acquired a set of the Diocese of Baton Rouge archives, and in v.2, I discovered a reference that had previously escaped my notice. This is the record: LANDRY, Celestina (Joseph & Maria Rosa MELANCON) bt. 10 Apr. 1791, bn. 3 Jan. 1791, spo. Eusebio MELANCON & Victoria BABIN (DBR p. 420, ASC-5, 42) "Celestina" appears to be a feminine name, or perhaps a diminutive form of Celestin. There is a Celestin LANDRY, the oldest child of Joseph LANDRY and Marie Rose MELANÇON, known from his marriage record and the records of the births of his children. But "Celestina" is a new name. I suspect that these records are all for the same person, Celestin LANDRY. There is no other birth record known to me for Celestin. This birth date works for him, compared to his 1810 marriage record, which says he was a minor (so age 19 is about right). The spacing of the children of Joseph and Marie Rose, about two years apart, doesn't leave room for another child, even if she had died young. Twins seem unlikely, because one would expect to find both records, and only one record shows up. Of course, none of this is conclusive evidence. I'm posting this for two reasons. First, if anyone has any further insight into this, I'd love to hear about it. Second, if someone has Celestin in your line, this might be information previously overlooked. I have updated my web page with this information. George Friedman Champaign, IL
