In her book "Sous Cette Pierre Repose," the late Susan Burleigh Douget dedicates 7 pages to Jacques Courtableau and Jean Joseph LeKintrek and their relatives. I'm not sure why she spent so many pages on these two, unless they were the early founders or inhabitants of Opelousas. Does anyone know who may have taken up Douget's research and also be knowledgeable about these folks? My 5th Great Grandmother, Marie Francoise Dupont le Kintrek, who married Pierre Couturier, was the daughter of Jean Joseph Dupont le Kintrek who was married to Anne Marie Hopf [Le Boeuf] (aka -gasp!!! - [Posse, Pose, Pof, Bopff, Bopfe, Bobpfe, Poff, Le Bouf, LeBouef, Boff, Bopp, Boftz, Paul, Popff, Bopf, Bolff, Baffpan, Baftz, Yopf, Fosse, Doss] I have two bewilderments: How is Jean Joseph Dupont le Kintrek related to the Jean Joseph LeKintrek who was the partner of Jacques Courtableau.... and.... how did "Dupont" get in there.... Which was their real surname -- Dupont or LeKintrek? And who were the "half breeds" spoken of in many of the books about these folks, especially in the area of the Illinois territory? What kind of name is Le Kintrek? The "le" makes it sound French...and Dupont sounds French.... but Kintrek???? I'd appreciate being pointed in the direction of any one with knowledge about these people. I haven't found any message boards or mailing lists on Opelousas... at least not on Rootsweb....so maybe someone on this list can help. Renee

Do other researchers know Jean Joseph Le Kintreck, who I think was born at Quimper, Brittany, France. His daughter was Francoise Le Kintreck, and she was born in New Orleans. She married Andre Claude Baptiste Poiret. Their youngest child was born 1752. I think there was some connection with Illinois. Sound familiar?
