Reseña del editor:

This book traces the travels of seventeen families that led them to Louisiana and how they and their descendants prospered over the next 300 years. Many of the early settlers of Louisiana traveled very different and difficult paths, from the slave insurrection in Saint Domingue, the Acadian deportation in Nova Scotia and the French Revolution. Many of the French and Spanish soldiers, who served in Louisiana, chose to remain and some greatly influenced the lives of the people in this book. One was Marianao Ribas and his daughter, Maria Del Carmen Ribas, whose name was carried down to Carmen Generes Gravois, wife of the author. Jean Baptiste DeGeneres arrived in Saint Domingue in 1720, the same year Nicolas Lacour arrived in Louisiana. Jean Constantin DeGeneres was attending school in Paris when the slave insurrection started in Saint Domingue where their father and mother were killed. He was taken in by the Mayre Family, who were Saint Domingue refugees living in Maryland. Jean married and moved to Virginia where all his children were born. Some of Jean's children arrived about 1850 after a short time in Missouri.
