hi im vanessa poydras and i was wounderiing if you knew about Poydras and Cameron street(both streets that intersect). My dad, brother and I think that it has something to do with our family roots because when we went to Poydras st. in louisiana our great grandmother and her family lived in a house on that street and they have many interesting pictures there too. the strange thing about that street is that Cameron Poyras is my brothers name and i think that Cameron Poydras might have been the slave owners name or perhaps someone who lived theres name. i think this because streets Back then where usually named after slave owners. My dad later told me that The slave owner allowed our ancestors to be a part of his family and live in his house which could have been on Poydras st. which is where my great grandmother lives now. The property could have been passed down from generations.
i know this might be confusing but it is very interesting and i know a good, but small, amount of information about my family and its traits. if you would like to know more then email me at
