Hi,
My name is Millie Decuir Peterson.My mother was Corinne Marie Broussard.Her Father was Damas Broussard.My great grandfather was Despanet Broussard.I remember my Mother saying that her granfather was married 3 times and that her Father was a child from his first wife.I also remember "Masso" Broussard as being her uncle.Even though he was my Mother's age, I don't know who his Mother was except that he was a child from Despanet's third wife.
I would bring my Mother to Loreauville each year for All Saint's Day and we would visit the grave where her Father was buried.He was in the tomb with Despanet and the only marker was that Despanet was in the LA Infantry. No other information is on the tombstone.
