Hi my name is Daniel Leveque, from Australia, and I am seeking some assistance with searching for information on my ancestors. Im relatively new to ancestry.com and recently discovered tht my great grandmother was born in Louisiana, USA through another ancestry.com members family tree. Ive attempted contact with the member, who created the family tree, as none of my living relatives were aware of our connection to Louisiana, but to no avail. Not even my Grandfather- her son who was 16 when she passed away, was aware of the Louisiana connection!
So I'm reaching out to anyone who can help with any substantiation such as immigration records, baptism records, wedding records etc... Anything! I have tried all the search functions via ancestry.com and I havent come across any substantitation. Would anyone know why she left Lousiana USA for Rodrigues Island (Mauritius Island)? I don't know what year she left Louisiana for Rodrigues Island (Mauritius Island)
This is the following information that I was able to retrieve from a members family tree:
My great grandmother Lydie Leveque (née Meunier) was born in Louisiana Eunice 1901 and died in Rodrigues (Mauritius) island in 1943
Her mother's name was Alidia (née Guidry) who married Theodore Meunier in 1898 in St Anthonys Catholic Church, Eunice Louisiana.
I would be forever greatful for any assistance and thanks for taking the time to read my query.
