Grew up between Chicago, IL, Houma, LA and Elton, LA. People have called me a "Yankee/Cajun" which I am so I pass between both worlds quite nicely. Have been doing the family tree for both sides, Italian and French, for as long as I can remember (as soon as I was old enough to write), thus I have the intense wish to never let my family be forgotten.

Welcome any edits/suggestions but please include your source of information. Caution: In my years of research of writing historical articles and genealogy, sometimes the internet has incorrect information. Thank you
