La Louisiane

Pay attention. Louisiana has a culture and a language regardless of your genealogy. And it’s not English. And the French doesn’t all come from Canada.

A good reminder why genealogy does not always match lived cultural experience.

Father born in Germany, mother in Louisiana, child's first language was French. [Father actually born in St James, St James Parish]

For some reason, this really trips people out in the US.

PS The decedent's mother was a GONZÁLEZ. This would probably give folks vertigo: Born in Louisiana, native Francophone, father German descent, mother Louisiana Creole Francophone, daughter of a Spaniard and who mother of German descent, too. Merry go round and round and round ...

So…. can anybody tell us why have we lost basically all our dairies? What policies or lack of policies caused this? How do we fix it? We are so curious! (And for the love of God please don’t come in the comments talking about a single political party or politician.🤣 )
