I probably have a little something in me somewhere. My family has been here since the 1700's.

What is the differnce between cajun and creole
Posted on 5/3/15 at 3:13 am to HailHailtoMichigan!
When Britain acquired Canada at the end of the Seven Years War, they expelled some of the French colonists. Some of the immigrated to Louisiana, and their descendants are known as Cajuns. I'll let somebody else explain what Creoles are.

During the so-called French and Indian War the British took what we now call "Nova Scotia" and expelled all the French colonists living there, sending them to the French Louisiana territory. The island at the time was named "Acadia", so when they got to Louisiana the people were known as "Acadians" and eventually "Cajuns".
New Orleans itself had been around for longer than that, having had plenty of Spanish and Carribean influence thrown in. That particular ethnic combination is "Creole".

If you are creole, you have some african/black blood flowing through your body

And?

Yep, I think jsm is correct. The only ppl I've ever met claimed to be creole are mixed blacks.

Not necessarily. Creole in LA also means that you came directly from France bypassing Nova Scotia
Posted on 5/3/15 at 8:08 am to Futures Bleak
Having black ancestry to be Creole is incorrect, although one could have Black ancestry.
A Creole is a person of "far-away" descent (in LA, usually French,Spanish or African) born in America (as opposed to most residents of the 1700's, who were born "far away."
For example, Benard de Marigny de Mandeville (developer of Faubourg Marigny and of Mandeville) was a Creole, but he did not have any black ancestry.
The Bahams (founders of Madisonville) were of Spanish descent, inter-married with Africans and hence they are Creole as well.
LA Creoles
Cajuns (from Nova Scotia) also settled along the coast of South Carolina* and Georgia*. What distinguishes Louisiana Cajuns is that upon settling in southwest LA, they were isolated from other societies, so much of their French culture survived (and evolved).
*although I don't think these French-Canadians are ever really referred to as "Cajuns."

The most simple way to put it is. Cajuns are a specific people that came from Nova Scotia. Creoles for the most part are settlers of New Orleans that were here pre-la purchase
That could be of mixed descent but does not have to be.
