I am trying to research my grandmother, Melina Robicheaux who, to my knowledge, was born, lived and died in New Iberia, Louisiana. She was married to Freddie Armentor and bore him four children, Laurent, Lonnie, Martrine and my mother, Viola Armentor. As I understand it, Melina Robicheaux's mother was a Romero who married Alcibiot (sp?) Robicheaux. Freddie Armentor (possibly listed as d'Armentor) was also born in New Iberia to my understanding. I am trying to trace my Spanish lineage on either, or both, side(s), any help that you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

I have been trying to research my Grandparents, who are from or at least born in La. I have Baptismal Records for my Grandmother and her Mother. There is confusion on name spelling though. I am not quite sure what to ask for. I would like to trace my family tree back as far as is possible! The names I have are as follows: Grandmother: George June Roulet (or Rulet) Child of John G. Roulet (Rulet) and Lura Broussard. There was a sponsor listed at the bottom with same last name - Simeon Roulet (Rulet). This was from Sacred Heart Church in Port Barre, LA. GreatGrandmother: Marie Lura Broussard (We always thought it was Lura Marie) Child of John W. Broussard and Louise Laborde From St. Peter's Church in New Iberia.

The surname I am researching is ABATTE or ABBOTT. It will probably help to note that this family,my family, is of a multiracial background.My name is Horace Abbott,E-mail address is HAbbott486@aol.com,todays date is 12-29-97.My father's family name is Abatte. I have always been told that the spelling got changed to Abbott mistakenly at a christening ceremony at a Catholic church in or around the town of New Iberia.My grandfather,and I assume at least several generations before him, were farmers, had very little formal education.His name was Gabrial Abatte. Any information that you can give me on my ancestors, from my grandfather back, would be greatly appreciated.By the way he was born in 1898 or 99.My father's name is Santney Abbott born 1930 in or about New Iberia.
