Dear Christophe,
Thank you so much for publishing your Mixed Marriages Index on line.
Christophe LANDRY is without a doubt an expert in Louisiana related subjects. I have witnessed his extraordinary command of Louisiana Creole and extensive knowledge of Louisiana history and genealogy. He is indispensible with his time and expertise when teaching and assisting research. I have had the fortune to be a recipient of his gracious guidance when researching my own family tree, including his providing historical, cultural and linguistic background of Louisiana and its people. As a result of this tutelage, I have learned a great deal and applied it successfully. I appreciate Christophe’s talents and promote his brand, Louisiana Historic & Cultural Vistas (LHCV), as a valuable asset to the world of genealogy in general and state of Louisiana in particular.
Mr. Landry,
There are few words to explain the joy and shock I felt after reading your email. Just seeing my great grandfather’s name (written correctly) was….like finding a long lost treasure map. I am quite sure you have heard this awe and gratitude from scores of our people before. You are truly a blessing to our culture, and I know there are wings hidden under that crisp white shirt! All this said, and I have yet to even say thank you!
First of all, allow me to express my gratitude for the information you share online!
Christophe, thank you so much for the information you posted on Louisiana mixed marriages. It was key in helping me solve a mystery in my family tree, which I could have otherwise not done. Again, many thanks. Sincerely, Jim Samuels Jr.
Christophe, Thanks a million for the tree. I will enjoy reading each page.
Wow, Thanks!
The nine pages I just scanned represent a tremendous amount of work….and that was chapter 152!!! What’s the context? I’m fascinated. Is it “published” in any referenceable form?
Dear Sir:
I have just received the link to your site dealing with Louisiana historical and cultural vistas.
It’s amazing work and as a descendant of some of the Lousiana settlers, I thank you for devoting your life to this subject. Its pertinence is particularly relevant in light of current events in the United States.
I hope that I could contact you in the future for any questions I might have on slavery as it existed in Louisiana, or for better orientation in my own family research.
Sincerely,
