Creole Heritage

I was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. I am Creole mixed with French, Spanish, African, and Indian heritage. I currently reside in Los Angeles, California with my husband, Eugene...and we enjoy good food, good music, family and friends.I am very proud of my Creole heritage and because of my grandmother's teachings (who raised me), she taught me to appreciate even more that my ancestry was very important...and that is why, along with my husband, Eugene, I am at this point in my life today...!My husband and I have a website, Louisiana Heritage Connection (LHC)www.louisianaheritageconnection.com/ and publish a monthly newsletter dedicated to preserving the past, present, and future history of our Louisiana Creole heritage and cultures. They are a connection and a source of personal stories, personal contacts, news, Louisiana history, events, and much more. LHC will also assist in the basics of genealogy information and the basic "how to" begin tracing your ancestral tree.Our motto is: CREOLE UNITY NOW AND FOREVER!During my childhood years, the most exciting time of year for me was "Mardi Gras." I always looked forward to the "Indian Battles of Dance." They always met at the corners of Conti and Rocheblade Street, also known as "Conti the Blade." For four years, we lived on "Conti the Blade," and I could sit on our front steps and watch the Indians perform.
