1721 was the year the German Colonists came to Louisiana. Scottish businessman hired them to help build communities in Louisiana. Some historians claim them as the hardiest and strongest of all Louisiana colonists. Most settled along the Mississippi River just above New Orleans, in the area known as the German Coast of Louisiana. Their hard working ethics paid off for New Orleans who was on the receiving end of crops the German grew for food. 1721 was also a year of more single young women sent to Louisiana to make wives for the single men of the colony. These women are the matriarchs of several popular surnames which still exist 300 years later.Inside this book:The 1721 Colonists whose stories survived1721 Coloniists whose stories survived and featured in this edition:ASSELIN, Thomas, of Fleury, Normandy, France BARBEAU, Jean Baptiste & Silvie LeMoine BARON, Marie of the Paris Orphanage, a Natchez surviviorBELANGER, Marguerite of Paris; Rabalais & DeMarets matriarchBLET, Marie Francoise deVille godmother of severalBOURBEAU, Jean French soldier married a casset girlBUQUOI, Henry married a girl who came on the BaleineBURAT, Jean Guillaume, Ship Captain who stayedCATOIRE, Marie Claire, a casset girl of the BaleineCHENIER, Jean Baptiste, fils Namesake of Chenier Lake?CLAUSEN, Baltasar A German in NatchitochesCUVILLIER, Catherine a bride who came on the BaleineD'ARSENBOURG, Karl Commandant of the German CoastDe LaGARDE, arrived on the ship, Gironde, ConcessionaireDUBIER, Catherine Barbe Casset girlEDELMAYER, Hans Jean Addam, of the PalentineENDLICH, Michel & family left on the Charente, arrived on PortfauxENDLICH, Reigna wifeof MichelENDLICH, Johann JacobENDLICH, Johann FrederichFOLSE, Johann Jacob, of the PalentineFOUCAULT, Marie Anne A Biloxi Bride Killed by the ChoctawFOUCAULT, Marie Catherine sister of Marie AnneFREIDRICH, Conrad & Family of Rothenberg, Diocese of SpireFREIDRICH, Anna Barbara ancestress of a large branch of VicknairsFREIDRICH, Anna Maria, Married Edward Poupart of ParisFREIDRICH, Sebastian married into the Haydel familyKATZENBERGER, Johann Caspar of HeidelbergGIRARD, Marie Angelique Ancestress of thousands on the Gulf Coast1721 TABLE of CONTENTS 7HAYDEL, Ambroise ancestor of the Haydel family of LouisianaHAYDEL, Johann Addam died at the portHAYDEL, Mathie & Barbe killed at the massacre in NatchezHIMEL, David of Freudenuel, Stebbach, GermanyLaBRANCHE, Johann Zweig, of Bavaria-AlsaceLAICHE, ThomasLeLAUNEY, Catherine a Casset girl of ParisLEONARD, Jean Baptiste and Catherine of Liege, LuxembourgLEONARD, Jean Frederich, sailed with his parents on the VenusMARCHAND-IMBEAU, Marie LouiseI settled at Arkansas PostMATERNE, Johann Adam, of AlsaceMENU, Catherine a bride from the Baleine, settler of St. Landry ParishMEILLIER, Catherine, ancestress of the Prudhommes of NatchitochesMONTE, Balthassar, of Troupoau in SilesiaOUBRE, Joahnnes Jacob and Annde BarbePOUCHE, Jean George of Goldscheuer, Baden, GermanyROBAT, Jacques & Marie Barbe LeComteRICHAUME, Pierre of CanadaRICHNER, Johann Georg a GermanROMMEL, Johann & family of BadenSCHAF, Johann Jacob & family of Schaf of WeissenburgSCHAF, Catherina ancestrees of Bonvillain and Champagne branchesSCHNTZ, Andreas, miller of Hochausen, District of Franconia, BadenSCHECKSCHNEIDER, Hans Reinhard, patriarch of a large clanSTELLY, Georges arrived on the ship La SaoneTHILLY, Gaspard and family, of Alsace, Killed at Natchez,TOUPS, Hans Caspar a Swiss familyTREGRE, Andreas Bavarian on the ill fated ship, La GaronneTRICHELL, Adam and family from Augsburg, Germany TROXLER, George & Marie of Alscase.
