Originally published in 1931, Old Families of Louisiana was compiled in response to a demand for a comprehensive series of genealogical records of the foundation families of the state--families whose ancestors settled with Bienville in New Orleans at the time the famous old city was laid out in the crescent bend of the Mississippi River. This book also answers the call for information on those who came to Louisiana when the golden lilies of France, the castellated banner of Spain, the Union Jack of Great Britain, or the flag of fifteen stars and fifteen stripes waved over the land. During the compilation of the original data it became apparent that the present book would be greatly augmented in interest and value by the addition of genealogical records of other prominent foundation families besides the French and Spanish. For this reason, information was included on the English, Scottish, and Irish lineages whose representatives now form an integral part of the present-day population of Louisiana. In the seventy years since its first publication, Old Families of Louisiana has exceeded the original scope intended. In order to set a limit to its range, it was agreed that only those families settling in Louisiana before and up to the time of the beginning of the American domination in 1803 should be included. Old Families of Louisiana traces the genealogy of such traditional Louisiana families as Fortier, Claiborne, Kenner, Percy, Wiltz, Chalmette, Landry, Derbigny, Butler, St. Martin, and Wilkinson.

Seller's Description:
New. 432 pages. The compilers of this work endeavored to assemble a comprehensive series of genealogical records of the pioneering families of Louisiana. The first part of book consists of a series of newspaper articles on various families by Charles Patton Dimitry, which originally appeared in the New Orleans Times-Democrat in 1892, and which were then corrected or expanded by the compilers. Since Dimitry's focus was confined to a limited number of early French and, to a lesser extent, Spanish families (which together constitute the first part of the volume), Arthur and Kernion augmented them with prominent Louisiana foundation families of English, Scottish, and Irish descent, as well as with additional French and Spanish families omitted by Dimitry and missing from Miss Grace King's Creole Families of New Orleans. Spanning thousands of individuals, all of whose origins in Louisiana pre-date the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, Old Families of Louisiana should be the starting point for tracing your Bayou ancestry, particularly if it is connected to one or more of the following seventy-five allied families: Almonester-Pontalba, Alpuente, Alston-Pirrie, Arnoult-Sauve-Waggaman, Augustin, Barrot, Breazeale, Bringier, Butler, Canonge, Cerras, Chalmette, Chauvin de la Freniere-de Lery-deBeaulieu, Claiborne, Coulon de Jumonville de Villiers, Cruzat, D'Arensbourg, d'Estrehan, de Duche-Donnaud, de la Lande de Ferriere, de la Ronde, de la Vergne-Villere-Bermudez, de Villars, Derbigny-de Lassus, Dimitry, Doriocourt, Doussan-Fossier, du Tillet-Montreuil, Dubreuil de Verges, Ducatel, Fagot de la Garciniere, Favrot, Forstall, Fortier, Garic, Gayose de Lemos, Grima, Hereford, Huchet de Kernion, Johnson, Juchereau de Saint Denys, Kenner, La Villebeuvre-Peters-Toledano, Labarre, Labranche, Landry, Le Blanc-Allain-Tounoir-Jarreau, Le Breton, Le Pelletier de la Villiers, Macarty, Minor, Morant-St. Avid-Pinchot, Morphy, Olivier de Vezin, Percy, Petit de Livilliers de Coulanges, Plauche-Dart-Kernan-Wall-Winans-Dubose, Perez, Phillippe de Marigny, Perret, Rivard, Rouquette, Soniat du Fossat, Stirling, Theard, Trepagnier, Trudeau, Watts, Wilkinson, and Wiltz.
