I'm thrilled to have happened up...Hi Stephanie!<br />I'm thrilled to have happened upon your blog (just by clicking on Charles Durand's portrait). Your blog is very well done, with some great pictures. How are you related to Charles, i.e., who was your grandfather - or great-grandfather?<br /><br />I am Elaine Erikson, granddaughter of Alice Durand Judice, who was one of John Leonce Durand & Amelia Marin's children, and the baby sister of Joseph Leonce (of Pine Grove). John Leonce Durand, was the son of Charles Germone, Jr. (first born child of the "famous" Charles & Amelie LeBlanc).<br /><br />I was so fortunate that my wonderful grandmother lived to be 104 and had many great stories to tell.<br /><br />Since you wrote about Nonk Durand and Tante Loule (as I called them), I thought maybe you might be a granddaughter (or great-grandaughter).<br /><br />Perhaps I can share some information that you might not currently have, if you're interested. I love delving into the history of my ancestors. I've been toying around with starting a blog myself. I'm on FB - ping me and we can start communicating. Or, email me at: eerikso@JUNO.com<br /><br />Elaine Erikson<br /><br />P.S. So glad you wrote about Sidney Mae - such a role model! Also, I'm so glad you mentioned the museum - - do they still have that video of the affair?Cajun Beancounterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14575441847046709378noreply@blogger.com
