There was a flower painter by the name of Paul de Longpre who came to the US near the turn of the century.He and his brother Raoul started in NYCity and then moved on to LA where there is a Blvd named for him.He had two daughters.His family was from Lyon and I believe his mother or grandmother was a creole from the caribian. You could get better information on this family from the Hollywood tourism (also try the web)There is quite a bit of information in the art world.Good hunting
