start with the eldest...

I am starting with Marie Jeanne Vidrine & Richaume Soileau and their 3 children...... I have not looked in the Soileau or Fontenot side yet because that is a LOT of info, and I think they have some published info. My focus is Vidrine and  Hargroder , I am getting a pretty good handle on those 2 lines, and will soon fill in the other families.... Hey ya'll feel free to help out!

Remember, I am NOT an expert, I am just  beginning to learn how all of this research and acknowledging the author stuff works!  I am having fun with this and in no way, am taking myself serious as an historian. With that being said.... this is just what I have found via Fr. Donald Hebert's books, and it is subject to correction! So feel free to contribute and tell me where your source of information is from... next post will be on Jeanne Vidrine & Richaume Soileau's grandkids!
