I am not always so quick on the uptake but I was just reading Vol 4 #46 where Rene outlines her search for Antoine's buial records and I looked at the name "De La Croix" and realized there is a place in South Louisiana called Delacroix Island (it is pronounced "Della Crow") and is a popular fishing area. Also, there are many LaCroix families in South LA also. Probably a derivation of your name. The surname LaCroix is pronounced (la-croi--with the croi word rhyming with "toy"). Completely different pronounciation for the Island and the surname. We are nothing if not inconsistent. Carolyn Tregre
