I am part of the Burdett, Maxwell, Tarpley, Alexander, Bowman, Hood, Tiggert, Davis, Fabian, Bailey, Hennington, Syfrett, Hammer, Redwine, Keith, Gililland, and Gandy families. (Paternal)

And

LeDeay/LeDee, Artis/Arthur/Artuce, Verret/Verrette, Gobert/Gaubert families. (Maternal)

I am also related to the Guillory, Fontenot/Founteno, LaChapelle, Donato/Donatto, Gradney/Gradenigo, Vizina, Deculus, Trahan, Bello, Simon, St. André, Durousseau, DeVille, Allain, Villere, Villery, Semien, Berry, Aucoin, Cezar, Soileau, Dellafosse, Espree, Lemelle, LaCour, Richard, Rougeau, Ardoin, Allen, Antoine, Thibodeaux, Hebert, and LaMotte families. (Maternal, Louisiana roots)

If you have roots in southwest, and southcentral Louisiana around Opelousas, Ville Platte, Plaisance, Mallet, Church Point, Eunice, Mamou, Oberlin and the surrounding areas and your last name is, or you are related to a Lede, Ledet, LeDee, LeDeay, or LeDay then you are related to me, however you spell it, and no matter your appearance, we can all trace our ancestry back to our earliest known ancestor Paul Ledé (1764-1823)

I have been doing extensive genealogy research for several years now and am happy to collaborate with other family members!
