re: Anyone here have family connections to the former Bayou Chene community?

Not Bayou Chene, but my grandpa was from Lockport and he trapped as a teen to help the family make ends meet, and they had a school boat as well. Told a story about missing school after being swamped in the pirogue they used to get to the school boat stop during the winter.

Remember visiting my great grandma with him as a kid, she had never learned English and only spoke French.
