A bit more info on Clarene Sylestine(Celestine). The lady to whom I am referring was originally married to J.D. Carson, an Alabama Indian and a member of the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas. They lived outside the Reservation. She later divorced and remarried a falanachi(cajun). She was a Coushatta, whether a member of the Tribe or not is conjectural.

I fervently hope this research is not an attempt to participate in the Coushatta casino money. Currently the Coushatta Tribal rolls are closed, anyhow and Tribal membership would be difficult if not impossible to attain.
