Cambre as Mulatto in 1870 & 1880 Census
Please help me find a starting place. My family's written and pictorial history is totally lacking any info about my g-g-grandmother, Louisa Cambre B1848 D1897 (according to Ancestry.com) She and my g-g-grandfather Pedro Cuquet were not able to marry in New Orleans according to civil laws preventing mulatto/white marriages. Their daughter, my g-grandmother refused to answer questions about her mother when I asked. Now with census info available, I see what she tried to hide. According to census, Louisa's mother was born in VA and father in LA. So many Cambres and I just do not know where to start! Any help is appreciated. Muffy Vestal
