Testimonials
First of all, allow me to express my gratitude for the information you share online!

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!

Christophe is an amazingly generous and insightful young man. After seeing just a few of my ancestors’ names on a Creole Genealogy discussion group, Christophe let me know of my relationship to Mother Henriette Delille. This knowledge changed my life, as I became extremely involved with the religious order she founded, “The Sisters of the Holy Family of New Orleans.” He gives information freely and even when we attempt to pay, he will often not allow it. His research has been proven accurate and his ability to give you correctly accented family names is appreciated. I have known him since the late 1990s and trust him with all of our family data.

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 Christophe,
I’m not sure how to adequately express my gratitude to you for your generous gift of my family tree information. It was so kind of you I’m practically speechless.
…be well and thanks from the bottom of my heart.

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.
