Hi, I'm looking for information on W. M. Glaze (my great great grandfather),
formerly of St. Landry Parish. He was born in LA about 20 Mar 1846. He is
listed as being a resident of St. Landry Parish when he was surrendered at
New Orleans on 26 May 1865, and paroled at Alexandria on 8 Jun 1865. He was
a private in Company G, 8th Louisiana Cavalry. Any assistance would be
appreciated, I'm having a very difficult time finding anything on him!
Chris,
There is Pointe de l'Englise Genealogical and Historical Society, P.O. Box 160,
Church Point, LA 70525, that has a quarterly publication, "A La Pointe."
Beverly Clement

"It's the quarterly publication of the St. Landry Parish Genealogical Society
of Opelousas, LA."

Don,
You might want to contact Mike Doucet of Beausoleil or Barry Jean
Ancelet. Mike as you know taught a French music course at the USL now
UL of Laf in the early 80's. Barry is working there at this time. He is
listed at the UL of Laf site under "Staff". They have done extensive
research on the origins of Cajun music.
Laissez les bon temps rouler!!!

Vacherie
Vacherie is the Cajun French word for "cattle ranch" (from the French vache,
meaning "cow"). The Cajuns' earliest Louisiana ancestors excelled at cattle
ranching, having learned it in Acadia, where at the time of the expulsion had
amassed approximately 118,000 head of livestock.
When they arrived in louisiana, the Spanish were quick to take advantage of
this skill which resulted in what was called the "Dauterive Contract" Where
they were given breeding stock and supplies for a year
I've been told that the "Courir de Mardi Gras" is fashioned after a medieval
France holiday know as "Fete de Quemander" (quemander is French fo begging).
It was a holiday that the peasants were permitted to dress, mock and imitate
royalty, without fear of consequences. They would dress in outlandish
costumes with cone shaped hats on their heads (noble upper class wore these).
During the "Courir de Mardi Gras" in Mamou, Iota and other southwest
Louisiana communities, there is a chant that is repeated
I am researching the clothing of the pre-expulsion Acadian and the 18th and
19th century Louisiana Acadian (Cajun). I am finding it difficult to find
sketches of authentic Acadian clothing of this period.
Since "Evangeline", has become the image that has been branded in the minds
of most people, the clothes that she is shown wearing in the many drawings

Hi Lorrie,
Probably won't do you much good, but I have a James Bredin GLAZE, born in
South Carolina, and married into my BRASHEARs family. He was married to my
maternal 4th great-aunt, Dryden BRASHEAR, in May of 1827 in St. Landry
Parish. Could he be part of your family? He only had 3 children, and only
one of them was a boy, another James - too young to be a father to your g-g-
grandfather. James Bredin GLAZE's parents were Zachariah GLAZE & Mary
BREDIN; maybe another of their children, of whom I'm unawar
I am a descendant of Lejeune/Young family, and I am trying to get information
about Jacob Bihm, who married Marie Ritter and who was the father of Marie
Louise (Louisa) Bihm who married Jean-Baptiste Lejeune/Young in 1807 in St.
Landry Church, Opelousas. Does anyone know where in Germany Jacob Bihm was
from? All that I have found is that Jacob was born about 1744 in Germany and
arrived in Louisiana in 1780 with a group of 60 German and Irish refugees
from Fort Pitt. (John A. Young's book)
Thanks for
The Acadians in the Civil War
Like other southerners, the Cajuns fought in, and were greatly affected by,
the American Civil War (1861-1865). Some served the South proudly, such as
Confederate Brigadier General Alfred Mouton, a "genteel Acadian" from
Vermilionville (Lafayette).
Others, however, saw themselves as a people distinct from "les amiricains",
and regarded the war as someone else's fight, calling it "la querre des
Confidiris", ("the Confederate's war") a term that persisted well into the
Particularly for this list, we need to take a moment to give honor to Fr.
Hebert and his invaluable contribution to us Southwest Louisiana researchers
and to our ancestors who are living with us today because of his work. Thank
you, Fr. Hebert and peace.
