Allison - I'm desperately searching for information about Joseph Antoine Raby, Jr. and his companion Marie Louise Croizet (a LOT of spellings for this name). Their daughter Julie was born in Mississippi City in 1815, which I understand has been sort of taken over by Biloxi and I can't remember the name of the adjoining town.

My family has been on the Gulf Coast for 11 generations.

Hi Judy, You and I have corresponded before regarding the Bosarge family. My Eleuterius family is littered with Bosarges from Bayou LaBatre. Anyhow, Marie Louise Croizet sounds very familiar. The daughter Julie might have married into the LaFontaine family on the coast. And, Mississippi City is a tiny little area between Gulfport and Biloxi. It takes up about 4 blocks on Hwy 90. I will check my research and look for her. I know I have seen that last name in the research on my father's family. Allison Eleuterius Bartsch
