Denise and I were added to the wall of marriages at Mouman and Poupa's house. We're a new addition to the Dooley, Soprano and Morris families. Last night we visited our Rainville and Fusilier families. OK, now they kid me a lot about being cousin to everybody, however, I got beaucoup names in my family. It's all good. My family is very "French" and are an old Louisiana family. I sometimes use Cajun, but it's actually Creole. I'm including here our Spanish heritage. They married into the French and began speaking French too.
Our Spanish ancestors were mainly military people. Ortego lived around Pine Prairie and Chicot. Joachim Ortego was a soldier and lived or served in Pensacola before settling around here. Antonio DeSoto served in Texas and he also settled in the Chicot and Pine Prairie area. There’s a lot of Ortego around here but I don’t see too many DeSoto. Ortego, if I remember right, was an Ortega and the name changed later to Ortego. Emanuella Sanchez was born in Mexico and she was the grand-daughter of a commander at the Spanish Post on the Rio Grande.
