Fontenot
The Fontenot lineage came directly from France, through Mobile, AL.
ETA: Fontenot is definitely "coon arse".

I didn't know Mark personally, but I know his brothers, Larry and Steve. They talked about him often and were very proud of him.

I had a professor in college from around Mamou. His name was Granger, but said it was pronounced gran-jay with an accent on a and j.

Not only the most Cajun names (in Avoyelles Parish) but also the geography of where they originated in France. You're all welcome, I bet many of you can find yours. Mine is in the North West corner in Normandie.
Your link is broken but I once looked up my family’s surname, Firmin (Avoyelles also), & learned that Firmin was in the group that first arrived in Breaux Bridge within the famous painting of them arriving.

Yes and, most of us are from Ville Platte so FU to the tards talking about "north of I-10". Especially the Spanish "cajuns" from new iberia.

You have done your research. Very good.

He was a funny little guy. Typical Cajun. About 5’6” and talked a mile a minute. He was senior to me by about 4-5 years. I’ll have to look to see if I still have my cruise book from that float to see if I have any pics.

Colonial French. Fontenots were here in Louisiana before the Cajuns came.
