I'm from New Iberia and have family all along this stretch. Although, there are some folks with English roots that have been in Delcambre/Erath so long they act more Cajun than I do!

For what it's worth, I was taught, while growing up, that the Cajuns out in Houma, Thibideaux, and surrounding areas were the 2nd wave.

My dads family is 100% coonass, but my mom's side is coonass/proper French...or as my Cajun relatives say "fancy French".
