I am interested in your family information. I would love to see your list of names.
The only nane that I have is Josephine Aubin.
According to the New Orleans, LA death records she was born in Cap François, Santo Domingo [now Haiti] in 1894.
The Sacramental Records of the Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans list her as the mother of several children, with Jean Dominique Mercier [a cabinet maker, born in Bordeaux france] born in New Orleans between 1814-1834. The probate of her estate in New Orleans listed these children as follows:
The petition of Dominique Mercier, residing in this city and his four sisters here after mentioned respectfully shows: that his mother Josephine Aubin died in this city aged about 68 years old, being native of Hayti, and that she had left five children all of age, to wit:
Marie Françoise Polyscine married to Jean Norwood,
Marie Louise Hortanse married to Victor Pepon,
Marie Mathurine Laetitia married to Ulysse Tiac,
Bertide married to Joseph Deberque.
Dominique's wife, [Catherine] Eulalie Goy, was also the daughter of a mother who emigrated from Santo Domingo. According to the same Sacramental Register:Catherine Eulalie GOY, dau of Elisabeth GOY native of Port-au-Prince on Santo Domingo, born 17 Mar 1818 and baptized 4 Apr 1819 at St Louis Church with sponsors being Bernard LAFOSSE and Catherine Eulalie ROCHEBLAVE, all residents of this city. Baptism Book 30, page 101.
Accoridng to the research that I have done in the New Orleans city library, there was a large group of emigrees in New Olreans from Santo Domingo in the early 1800s. I assume that they had fled the rebellion on their native island.
I have tried to find information about their Haitian origins but have not been successful so far. Perhaps you have something that you can share with me. I'd be very appreciative.
