Hello! God bless everyone! I just came from a Creole Heritage Educational Research Society in New Orleans this past weekend, and the Mistress of Ceremonies was a lady by the name of Gwendolyn Bordenave from New Orleans, La. I don't know if there would be a connection for you, but it would be worth a try. If you are interested in getting in contact with her, I will try and get her e-mail address for you.I am also looking for info on a branch of De Silva's from the Dominican Republic.Is the Name DeSilva familiar with anyone on this list? I met this young lady at the CHERS conference in New Orleans and she was asking for help in researching her De Silva family. If anyone has any info or can help her in her research, she would appreciate it very much.Thank you.Any and all info on this family is much appreciated.In His Name, Diane
