CajuninKy kind of speaks for itself. I am transplanted from "down da baya" in south La. Living in the mountains of eastern Ky.

My ancestory is also from France. Larpenteur from Thomerey. Family owned a "castle" called Montmelian. It was across the river from Napolean's place and they were pretty tight. One of my ancestors was the priest who married Napolean and Josephine. We have a picture of one of our ancestors wearing a hat Napolean gave him. He looks as proud as punch. LOL

Here is a picture of Montmelian as it looks today. It's not in the family anymore. It was sold when they chose to come to America.
