Ive always thought of EBRP as little Mississippi, in the sense of how many people hail from Mississippi and came here in search of work, especially in the early 20th century, LP, and Tangi are definitely little Mississippi.
My great grandparents moved here from Mississippi in the 20's so that my great grandfather could go work at Standard Oil.

Up to about 20 years ago, I knew some very old Cajun people who spoke very little English. Today there are probably very few if any people like that left. There are certainly still people who speak French, but they speak English as their primary language.

The Catholic numbers also got bolstered by the influx of Italians landing in New Orleans and spreading across the state

I’d say yours is more the norm than not. Most people in BR have ties to Mississsippi. My dad’s side does. My mom’s has been here since the 1720’s though.

A small percentage, maybe. I don’t think as many once you get to Greenwell Springs, Central and Baker.
I grew up in Central and I'd guess there were as many Catholics as all others combined. I don't know about the French heritage % but there were plenty of Broussards and Thibodauxs. That area was certainly more redneck than anything else though in the 80s.

I wanna say in Vacherie in 2002 I got chewed out in cajun by an old man.
I don't think anyone in my family has spoken in it generations. My mom said when she was a kid in the 50s the grown ups would speak it if they didn't want the kids to know what they were talking about.

Yeah, those people have died off. My grandmother's family moved to south Louisiana from Nova Scotia when she was in grade school. She had to learn English in school, and her parents wouldn't allow her to speak it in the house. She spoke Cajun French fluently up until the day she died.

Add Natchitoches and the area around it. (funny, spell check says Natchitoches is misspelled).
Natchitoches founded 1714 by French colonists, Catholicism is still prominent there, many leading families still consist of descendants of those original settlers.

All baws in St Tammany are over 6 ft and can pray directly to the good Lord without thinking some weird pedo intercedes for them. Map is not accurate.

At 5’5”, had some Stoli and OJ with breakfast, sitting under my car port on my third Miller High Life, cracking fresh pecans while waiting for my water to boil for boiled crabs. . . . .
I resemble that remark??
