Hello cousins,
I have been seeing this mention of an article on Agatha Babineaux and she is linked to my family tree. If you could send me information on how I could receive a copy of this article, I would greatly appreciate it. Here is my family connection below:
Theodor Babineaux was married to Agatha and maybe lived in the New Iberia, LA area in the late 1800's. My family-history stories of Theodor and Agatha were of the Theodor was a white man and Agatha was a slave girl born in Africa. Theodor Babineaux and Agatha had 9 or more Children together, I only knew of the following:
Edmund (b: 18??)
Louis Adam (b: 1880)
Rogers (b: 1882)
Willie Michael (b: 1889)
Paul Benedict "Benny" (b: 1887) My Grandfather
Joseph Simon (b: 1894)
Albert (b: 1886)
Mary Eva Bernadette (b: 1885)
Marie Anne (b: 1896)
Benny Babineaux later had a daughter with Alice Green in 1927, she was named Audrey Agnes Babineaux born in New Iberia, LA. My mother's memories of Benny Babineaux was of a smooth dark-skinned man with black wavy hair, very tall.
She visited Agathe and all of the very tall uncles she had, all my mother can remember is that all of her uncles were big and tall men and that there was a lot of them... ;-) If I could get a copy of the article on Agathe that will give me something more on our family history. Please give me information on how to get the article, I am in Chicago Illinois and don't think I will be in Texas anytime this year.
Thanks for any help you can give. You can e-mail me at ymahone43@earthlink.net
