Hi All, I was contacted with this same inquiry and this is the response I sent: << I am looking for any information anyone has on my 3rd great-grandfather Pierre Aime Becnel. I am told he was a sugar farmer in St. John and/or St. James Parishes. He is listed in the 1840 census of St. John Parish as "P. Aime Becnel" (at least I am assuming that it is him). He married Aimee BORNE. Their daughter, Octavie Becnel, is my ascendant. Octavie was born in 1847 and married Philo Gene Marionneaux. If you can provide me with any information, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. You can contact me at lkohler@dksno.com. >> Hello Lee, The way I have these records shows the following descendant tree. I have your ancestors, Octavie and Philogene Marioneaux as the third generation. She is actually the daughter of Antoine Octave BECNEL and Rose Aimee BORNE. Antoine Octave is the son of Pierre Antoine BECNEL, Jr. and Amanda "Aimee" HAYDEL. Pierre Aimee BECNEL was the brother of Rose Octavie's father. -I do know some others working on the descendants of Pierre Antoine Becnel, Jr. if you wish to exchange information with us. I also have some suggestions for further research on this family if you are really interested in Becnel genealogy.
