Henry,

There were LeBlanc lines that arrived in the early 1700s in La. There
was also a LeBlanc de Villeneuve Line that eventually dropped the de
Villeneuve. One of the LeBlanc De Villeneuve line was the Commandant of
the Opelousas Post and settled in Ayovelles - his son married into the
Allain Family [not the Acadian Allains]

Blanc means white but apparently the Blanc line [there was a Bishop
Blanc] was not related to the LeBlanc [Le Blanc, Le Blan] line. Also the
DeBlanc line was a separate line from the LeBlanc line [Louis Charles
DeBlanc was a Commandant of the Attakapas Post] I haven't seen duBlanc
or du Blanc.

The Spanish didn't use Blanc - it was Blanco. I haven't seen an
equivalent to LeBlanc in Spanish as it would be ElBlanco.

I have noted that the spelling was Leblanc on many of the St. Charles
aux Mines records.

Would someone tutor me about the correlation of the name LeBlanc,
LaBlanc, Le Blanc La Blanc, Blanc, DuBlanc, Du Blanc with how it came to
be written. What if the person is French and has one of these spellings?
What if the person is Spanish and has one of these spellings? English?
Etc?

Thanks,
Henry
