I haven't seen this posted yet, so I thought I would pass it along. I am sure Colleen would want us to be aware of her visit. I have condensed the forward, as the original was bounced. Penny T ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: "Noles, Robert B." <rbnoles@bellsouth.net> To: STGS Members & Guests <STGS@bellsouth.net> Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 5:21:10 PM Subject: STGS Meeting Scheduled for Friday, July 25 7:00 PM with Dr. Colleen Fitzpatrick Hello Folks, A special STGS Summer Meeting has been scheduled for Friday, July 25, 2008 at 7:00 PM in the Meeting Room at the Covington Library. The featured speaker for this special meeting will be Dr. Colleen Fitzpatrick. Dr. Fitzpatrick is a New Orleans native, but now resides and works in California. We are very honored to have Dr. Fitzpatrick come back to Covington for another session on Forensic Genealogy. Dr. Fitzpatrick was last here 2 years ago, when we had an overflow attendance for her presentations. If you missed that meeting or just want to hear more about Forensic Genealogy, mark your calendar for this upcoming STGS meeting. There will be no charge for this meeting hosted by the STGS and the Covington Library. Dr. Fitzpatrick's books will be available for purchase. Colleen Fitzpatrick, Ph.D. is a recognized expert in optical and laser measurement techniques, with many years of experience developing innovative technologies for NASA, the National Science Foundation and the Department of Defense. Dr. Fitzpatrick is also an avid genealogist and the author of a new, excellent reference book for serious genealogists; Forensic Genealogy, published by Rice Book Press, Fountain Valley, California. In Forensic Genealogy, Dr. Fitzpatrick shows that you do not have to be a rocket scientist to get the most from your genealogical materials. Forensic scientists and genealogists share the same goal–to find out who was who, and who did what and when. In explaining how to analyze photographs, to mine databases, and to use DNA analysis to reveal family history, Forensic Genealogy emphasizes the creative parts of an investigation over the mechanics. Have you ever thought of looking at the edges of old photographs to find out if they are from the same roll, or the backs to place them in chronological order? Have you considered looking at a city directory to figure out if your ancestor and his wife lost any children? How about using DNA analysis to tie your family to the history and politics of a religious conflict? Forensic Genealogy comes with a CD ROM that contains many interesting items to supplement the information in the book. You will enjoy browsing larger versions of many of the photos, and read poignant stories from coroner's reports, orphan records, and physicians exams of insane asylum patients. The Forensic Genealogy CD ROM also provides sample files you can adapt with your own DNA study results to input to Fluxus Engineering cladogram-generating freeware. Hotlinks are provided to many references for further information. The September / October 2005 issue of the Family Chronicle Magazine contains a feature article concerning forensic genealogy based on a case study in digital detective work. This article demonstrates Dr. Fitzpatricks’ approach to learn the most information possible from a photograph. Dr. Fitzpatrick is also a co-author of a book with Andrew Yeiser for DNA & Genealogy, one of the few really good books for discovering the power of genetic genealogy for those of you just getting interested in DNA testing in support of your genealogical research. Dr. Fitzpatrick has a new book scheduled to be out this month on analyzing old photographs; i.e., The Dead Horse Investigation: Forensic Photo Analysis for Everyone. We hope to see you at the July 25th STGS Meeting. Rob Noles Pwww.sttammanygs.org Robert B.

Succession of Mathieu Hotard, died Nov. 28, 1842, Parish of Lafourche Interior. --------------------- From the following web site: http://www.fluckers.com/family/daspit/ TWENTY FIFTH DEGREE Pierre Daspit St. Amand Pierre Daspit St. Amand (Pierre #2) was the son of Pierre Daspit St. Amand and Marie Anne Carmouche (Pierre #1 - See above). Pierre (#2) is sometimes also referred to as Pierre Jr. Pierre married Marie Mayeaux, the daughter of Francois Mayeaux and Nicole Prevost on November 28, 1778. Their children were: 1. Pierre - born in 1779 (presumably died young) 2. Marie Anne - born in 1781 3. Pierre born in 1784 4. Marcel (Marcellus) born in 1790, died 1855 (follows) 5. Baselice - born in 1800, baptized 1801 in Plattenville La. Pierre (#2) was born while Kerlac [sic] was governor of Louisiana . When he was eight years old, the territory of Louisiana was transferred to Spain, in 1863. The Spanish Domination lasted until 1800 (1803). He was Judge of the Interior Parish of Lafourche. He was sixty years old at the time of his daughter, Basilice's marriage at Thibodaux, of which a copy of the court record follows (Page 93 - Acts 1814-15. Part II.) Some family records show that Pierre #1(See Footnote 8) was married a second time to Marian Leroux-Courcier, however these are not original documents and it is more likely they actually refer to a second marriage of Pierre #2. There were no children by this union, however Marian had two daughters from her first marriage, Adele and Celeste, to August Courcier. Adele married Pierre (#2)'s son Marcel and both Adele and Celeste seem to have been withesses at Basalice's wedding (See below).
