Surnames: Terrebonne Bourgeois
My mothers name was Marian Ruth Terrebonne, Married Anthony Camardelle widowed in 6 weeks, then married Surgene Dufrene, I know her Mothers name was Enide Bourgeois born about 1907, and her Fathers name was Camille Terrebonne born a few years earlier. But that is all we know my mother did not share much of her family. Can anyone give me any information about the family? Thanks Toni

Hope this helps.

1930 census shows Camille’s Terrebonne’s age as 25 and Enide’s as 26. They lived in Harvey, La and he was a foreman at a canning plant. I think Camille was a Junior – see below)

1920 census shows a Camille at age 16 living with his parents Camille and Noncia (I think) in Harvey, La with numerous brothers and sisters (Oneil, Julius, Camille, Julia, Irma, Izora, Lee)

WWI draft card shows a Camille Etienne Terrebonne (this would be the dad) with a wife named Noncia with a birthday of December 19. 1874. At that time this Camille was a watchman for Swift & Co (the writing can be hard to decipher so the company name may not be exactly right)

Various family trees show in Ancestry.com show the above info as I interpreted it. They show Camille (1904 birth) with Camille as the dad and Noncia (shown as Nancy Anoncia Freitag) as the mom.

If your Camille is a Junior, then all this info should be correct. If anything clicks with something your mom might have said, let me know. If I find more, I will let you know.
