I am trying to obtain information, photos, publications, anything that has to do with the Spanish settlement in New Iberia, Louisiana. Anyone who has anything they can share with me I am trying to get a working committee organized in reference to this so that the Spanish heritage in New Iberia, LA can be promoted.
Thank you.

I am a descendent of the New Iberia Romero family and presently serve as a Christian missionary in Ghana West Africa. According to a book called They Tasted Bayou Water: A Brief History of Iberia Parish, the Romeros immigrated from Malaga, Spain in 1778-1779. My father and I plan to meet in Malaga in late March of 2008 and would love to have any information that might help us locate Romero history.

Surnames: Steen, Johnson
Hello. I'm looking for information on my ggg grandmother who was supposed to have been of Creole descent (French, Spanish and Native American). Her name was Elizabeth "Eliza" Steen and she was born in New Iberia in 1817. She married a Dr. Johnson about 1835 and they had a daughter, Mary War Nan Johnson, also born in New Iberia in 1837.

Would you happened to have run across either of these names while doing research?

Thank you.
