Matilda Smith of louisiana
I am an africanamerican residing in Texas. My louisiana family link is almost like a mystery. I have some deceased ancestors burried in Langston,Oklahoma who came from louisiana in the late nineteenth century 1880's. They were bright skinned creoles whose last name was smith. My great-great-great grandmother is the matriarch of our family. Her name was Matilda or Mathilda smith(I am not sure how she spelled it)she had a daughter named nettie and a brother who came with her to settle in oklahoma. I was wondering if any families in louisiana (creole or maybe not creole) have any one named mathilda smith on their family tree.I just know that she was from south lousiana and she was a creole.
