I am a babe lost in cyberspace and ancestor tracing. Barbara Whitmeyer DeGruy was my Grandmother. I did not know that my Grandad, Louis DeGruy, Sr. had a middle name of Verloin. We always called him "Pappa". I know there was a Louis V. DeGruy that owned a jewelry store in Metairie. I did not know him or his family just of them. My Grandmother died when I was a small young-un. I remember my Grandad very well. I learned his Dad was Lucien Horace DeGruy and his Mom was Henrietta  Louis Harvey. In fact, Henrietta's picture  is on the main wall of the  Destrehan Plantation.  I knew some of my Grandad's brothers, Edgar, Joe, Same, Horace, and Lucien. I think he had a sis or 2, but I don't know for sure. I did not know Lucien as he was killed in the Galveston, TX during the hurricane of 1906.   There is a Lt. L. F. (Lucien Florentine) DeGruy, CSA, that was in the LA Militia during the Civil War. I don't know if that is my Grandad's Grandad or the relationship. Can anyone help me fill in the blanks from Lt. L. F. DeGruy to my Grandad, Louis DeGruy, Sr. or Louis Verloin DeGruy. I spoke with my Dad's 2 remaining sisters and they could not remember anymore than what we have. Thanks for everyone's help in researching our roots.  God Bless, Lou DeGruy III ________________________________ From: Wally Schneidau <slideaus@bellsouth.net> To: degruy@rootsweb.com Sent: Sat, June 26, 2010 9:05:11 PM Subject: Re: [DEGRUY] Barbara DeGruy gravesite Will do. -----Original Message----- From: degruy-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:degruy-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Degruy List Administrator Sent: Saturday, June 26, 2010 4:59 PM To: degruy@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [DEGRUY] Barbara DeGruy gravesite Hey, Wally.... thanks.

Lou - I can help a little with the information I have. Lucien Floristien Degruy (1/8/1822 - 5/15/1894) was the son of Pierre Verloin DeGruy and Francoise Azelie St. Amant. He married Adelina Theresa Price on 1/7/1842 and had at least one child, Florestine DeGruy. It is possible that he had more, but birth and baptismal records for the 1830s through 1860s are still incomplete. I do not think he is an immediate ancestor of yours, though it is likely that he is a cousin of one of your ancestors. My records show that Lucien Horace DeGruy was the son of Antoine Onesime DeGruy (abt. 1810-10/16/1888) and Louise Evaline Cauvin (abt. 1815 - 1/18/1893). I am not sure how Antoine Onesime was related to the rest of the DeGruy family. Lucien Horace DeGruy had at least five siblings. If you wish, I can send you a .pdf file of the descendants of Antoine Onesime.
