Judy, Are these Guidry's one of your lines? My husband's paternal great grandmother was Adolphina Guidry born Sept 22, 1877 Breaux Bridge and died Jan 11, 1963 Breaux Bridge married to Henri Tauzin. I met her a few months before I married her great grandson. I don't know if she really understood who I was and why I was meeting her. She died a few weeks before my wedding. So many of my husbands great aunts and uncles and even his maternal grandmother spoke very little English. I always felt I had really gone on a vacation when we visited my husband's family. The language, food (oh the great meals they cook) everything was so different. Of course, to my husband, it was just his family in La. Desire Guidry - I didn't have that name. I've really not worked, just collected information. Thank you for mentioning him. Hope you and everyone on this list has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Lona Desire was son of JB GuEdry b Port Tobaco MD. JB father JB died in MD. Family sent to Natchez, then moves to Acadian Coast. JB goes to what will become Breaux Bridge with wife Madeleine Marie Breaux. JB Brother MY Fermin stays on Upper Lafouche with mother & sisters. Uncle "The" Pierre Guidry & Aunt Ursula Guedry -m- Paul Boutin move to Southwest LA. If the family records really say Guedry with an E the line is probably JB's instead of one of the other Guidry branches.
