OK.... nothing verified.... but there is a chance that those of us who connect to the allied family Daspit de Saint Amand also connect to the notorious pirate, Jean Lafitte. Where's a parrot when you need one? Just found a source saying that he Pierre Daspit de Saint-Amand [son of Jean Pierre Daspit de Saint-Amand and Marianne Carmouche] was, in his "public" life, a Judge over the Interior Parish of La Fourche, but in his "private" life was Lafitte. Guess we should be paying closer attention to the movies of Johnny Depp.... Thought you might like a little something to spice up your day. R PS signing off; gotta go catch a plane
