SENET FAMILY (Various spellings: SENETTE, SENEY, SNAY, CENET)

We are trying to find out if the SENET family we are related to out of
Louisiana is connected with the SENET family that originated in MAME,
CHALONS, CHAMPAGNE, FRANCE. We don't know if our Senets were part of the
Acadians in Louisiana or if they immigrated straight from France. We would
be grateful for any help!

Looking for ancestors and descendants of JEAN LOUIS SENET. Jean Louis Senet
died possibly in 1729 in France. He was married to OLIVE BERGER. The only
child I have listed for them is JEAN BAPTISTE SENET, who died September 25,
1740 possibly in France or in Louisiana.

JEAN BAPTISTE SENET married MARIE SALMON on October 14, 1735 possibly in a
place called Ville de Alresta. We cannot find where this place is located.
JEAN BABPTISTE SENET & MARIE SALMON had a JEAN BAPTISTE SENET II that was
born in 1737. We are not sure if he was born in France or in Louisiana or
even Canada.

JEAN BAPTISTE SENET II married MARIE JOSEPHE DAUPHIN, daughter of JEAN
JOSEPH DAUPHIN AND MAIRE ANN MEUNIER, in Febuary 1756. Marie Josephe Dauphin
had a sister, Ann Dauphin who married ADAM VERDUN (1719-1773).

JEAN BAPTISTE SENET II AND MARIE JOSEPHE DAUPHIN SENET lived on the Senet
indigo and rice plantation (1770)near Centerville, Louisiana, USA. JEAN
BAPTISTE SENET II died November 27, 1779 in Louisiana. MARIE JOSEPHE DAUPHIN
SENET died in 1796 in Louisiana.

Children of Jean Baptiste Senet/Senette II and Marie Dauphin Senet/Senette:
1. Rose/Rosa Senet/Senette b. 1765; married Joseph Druecet
2. Jean Baptiste Senet/Senette III b.1767
3. Victoria Senet/Senette b. 1769; married Jean Louis Dreucet
4. Honare Senet/Senette b. 1771
5. Eugene Senet/Senette b. about 1773; d. June 17, 1817
6. Julia Senet/Senette b. 1777
