Beautiful Louisiana Creole family of Onesime Louis LEDE and Marie Eve GUILLORY circa 1915 at their home in Mallet, Louisiana. During his life Onesime acquired hundreds of acres. Onesime and his wife's family are both descendants of the early gens de couleur libres (free people of color) of Bois Mallet. As much as many want to believe in the narrative of men of color not being in the household, that is not the case prior to 1920s. In my research, a large percentage of the men from the Creole and

This is the beautiful Louisiana Creole family of my John LAVIOLETTE, my Uncle of many greats, and Victoria GUILLORY, a distant relative, along with their children Hensley, Goldie and little Rosie. I had to share these lovely photos that were taken for their passport to go to Tampico, Mexico, a place where many people from the eastern part of St. Landry Parish went for work during the early 1900s. John was born circa 1870 in Grand Prairie, Louisiana to Sebastien LAVIOLETTE and Devine JACQUES, a f

When it comes to looks in Louisiana Creole families, you never know which genes you’ll get, just like in the OZAN family (Auzenne, Ozan, Ozenne, or however your branch spells it). One of my biggest observations when I started researching my family history was how much appearances can vary, even within the same bloodline. That variation has, at times, created confusion and division in how we label ourselves as people of color.Unfortunately, these differences in appearance have also led to deep in

Both Beyoncé and Jay-Z have deep Louisiana Creole roots. While Beyoncé’s Louisiana ancestry is well known, Jay-Z’s paternal lineage also traces back to South Louisiana. His grandfather, Adnis Reeves, was a preacher from Moeling, Louisiana, a small community near Oberlin. Through my research, I uncovered a marriage record from 1869 in Mamou, Louisiana, documenting the union of Robert Reeves, a formerly enslaved man, and Rosalie Martineau, a free woman of color of Native ancestry. However, Jay-Z’s

I’ve decided to bring together two things that mean a lot to me, food and family history. Coming from a big Creole family full of amazing cooks, I’m excited to kick off a new Sunday series called “Genealogy With a Little Taste.”Each week, I’ll feature a family member preparing one of their favorite dishes, and I’ll share a bit of their genealogy alongside it. So not only will you see how the food is made, you’ll also get a taste of the Creole legacy behind it. Food for thought, right?So stay tun

White Creoles Erased Their Black Roots Louisiana’s Creole identity was multiracial from the beginning. French settlers, Africans, Native Americans, and Caribbean refugees built it together. When writers exposed those blood ties, white Creole elites fought back and rewrote the story. This wasn’t confusion. It was erasure. Comment if your family history is more complicated than they admit. George Washington Cable Louisiana, Creole identity Louisiana, Haitian Revolution refugees Louisiana, white Cr
