From <Donellabry@aol.com> I got the following information: Oh but there is a connection with the Whites in a round about way or with James Taylor Smith (JTS for easy reference) to the Smith family Nancy Smith daughter of Silas, Sr. married William Wallace the uncle of JTS. William is therefore a descendant of Whites being the son of Whittington Wallace and Lucy White. Silas son Seth married Susann e Dugan/ Dugast. In the Vermilion parish census she is living with her children in the Stansbury household. It turns out that this household is Uriah W. Stansbury' s home and Susanne is Uriah's sister. Uriah grew up and married Sarah Smith the daughter of JTS and first wife Emily/Emma Hargrave. --------------------------- In the 1850 Vermilion Par Census, I found: Lucy Wallace 15 (See Cessac, P.)

May Alice Stansbury was the daughter of Albert Stansbury (born July 3, 1848 and died April 11, 1909) and Florestine Ferray. Albert was the youngest son of Albert Stansbury, Senior and Eliza Ann Dugan. Albert Stansbury, Senior and Eliza Ann Dugan's oldest daughter, Margaret Elizabeth Stansbury (my gt. gt. grandmother) married William Acy and moved to Ascension Parish where she died in 1865. I have a little more information and would like to compare with research you have collected during the year. Did you know that there is a writeup on the family of Albert Stansbury, Sr. in the "History of Vermilion Parish, Louisiana" published by the Vermilion Historical Society in 1983. There is even a picture of Albert Stansbury, Sr.

My info obtained from Father Don Hebert's books on the records of the churches of South- west Louisiana - these are available in any library - I have not done further research on your line. Have the children of this Paulin Cormier - no other Paulin - do have a Paul Adonis and his children if you want that.

What book are you referring to for these records? Do you know if it s available in most libraries throughout Louisiana.

I am having a hard time determining who my Great Grandfaters parents are. His name is Polin (Paulin) Cormier. I believe I have located him on the 1900 living with Sipyonie Marceaux and Coralie - shown as brother-in-law - also with them is Artiluse Cormier shown as brother-in-law and Delma Benoit (son of wife). All listed in Vermilion Parish. In 1910, found another Paulin Carmier - Vermillion Parish - 12 TWP - not sure but this could be same person - I have not been able to view the census records cause Ancestry.com has been working on these records. First name spelled Polin on 1920 US census - at this time he is living in Plaquemines Parish with his wife and children. His children are Edward, Leonard, Theola, Vincent and my grandmother Clevena. He married Mary Mathilda Benoit. I do not have proof, but someone has indicated that they were married 4 August 1902 at Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic Church, Jennings, Louisiana. I have a copy of his death certificate which indicates that he was born June 5, 1883. On the certificate his Dad is indicated as Polin Cormier and Mother as Asea Benoit. I can not find records on either of them. I you have any information on any of these people or have links that you can forward to me, I would appreciate it. Kind regards, Joel Cognevich

You have these old pictures, you do not know who they are, and you sell them on ebay. There are people in your family that are looking for family members. Scan these pictures and put them on the message board--- someone in your family wants them. Our history and our families are disappearing.
