Hello ms Phyllis my name is Deborah Dupas Holman and I live in Belle Chasse my fathers name is Peter Dupas and my uncle Ralph
who was also my godfather and uncle was a boxer. I didn't really know the family that well the reason was my mother and father divorce when I was very young at the age of 4.

Hello,

There are Dupas family members in Moreauville, Mansura, Marksville, Simmesport and other parts of LA and through out the U.S. My understanding is that many Dupas's were born in Moreauville but moved out at some point in their lives to other surrounding towns near Moreauville.

Hope you are successful in getting an answer!

Re: RALPH DUPAS

rrpwilliams — 2008-07-26 22:58:50Z

I was a tremendous fan of Ralph Dupas. I even went to New orleans from New hampshire in 1957 just to see him fight a stiff named ray Portilla. For the relative seeking information on his court battle over what race he was in order to appease Louisiana laws that no white couls box a black in public this took place sometime in 1958-1960 all information can be found in the New Orleans courthouse archives or at the New Orleans Times-Picayune newspaper.
What is most disturbing about Ralph's life is that he was so fast few could hit him--then he changed style and got hurt ----dementia all the days of his life---I loved him, what a wonderful style for me to watch--a dancing master

latimaa — 2008-07-06 21:20:25Z

My Grt-grandfather Paul (Dupas) Depas was born in Moreauville, La. There is very little information about his early life, as most documents have been destroyed in Avoyelles Parish. I notice others share the same surname are also from Avoyelles Parish (i.e. Moreauville, Marksville, Simmesport, etc.)

With my search of finding other relatives, a Dupas(s)/Depas website was created.

Paul Depas from Louisiana

latimaa — 2008-02-18 23:38:25Z

I am in search of any relatives for my Grt-Grandfather Paul Depas (Born abt.1892) . He is from Avoyelles, LA. My family's big mystery is the correct spelling of the last name. His spelled his surname "Depas", however, his daughter (my grandmother) spelled her surname "Dupass".

Paul left Avoyelles, LA abt. 1917 when he joined the Army. After leaving the military he moved to Alabama where he resided until his last days in 1977.

The little information that has been passed verbally (in my family) is Paul had plenty of siblings, and had a very large family in Louisiana.

If you have any information about my Grt-Grandfather Paul, it would be helpful. Please contact me at latimaa@yahoo.com

My family is having a Reunion in 2009 and it would be wonderful to have connected with other Depas/Dupass/Dupas family members.

Re: Dupas in Louisiana

2006-12-03 19:42:52Z

I am familiar with the club. I used to go to it. We called your aunt Mary, con-Lawrence aka cousin Lawrence. Her son's Irvin and Matthew aka Matches also moved to De Ridder, Louisiana, and still live there. They raised their children there also. I saw they a few weeks ago at Mary Lockart's funeral aka todean Lockart. She was a Francisco, who is also related to us on both sides (my mother and my father).

My mother and I call each other everyday. Her brother Peter Sampson lives next door to her. He had a stroke, from which he has never fully recovered. On the Large Road, lives my aunt Agnes McKinley, my mother's oldest sister and my aunt Celina Sampson who used to be Celina Simmons. They live next door to one another. Up the street from there is con Lawrence and con Edwards' house, where their son L.J. Lee and his wife live. Spellman and Noward, and Murray also still live in Mansura. I am not sure of their addresses, but I go to Mansura often, and see them at mass. If you would like to call my mother, her number is 318-964-5159.

Re: Dupas in Louisiana

2006-12-03 17:27:13Z

My grandfather, Leonce 'aka Leon' Sampson, lived off of that street. During the time he lived there, and I was a child, that street didn't have a name, nor pavement. My Aunt Mary, owned a club called 'Lee's' that was on that street. Maybe your mom is related to me

Re: Dupas in France

2006-12-03 15:37:56Z

I am told that all Dupas's are dark. That is certainly true of the Dupas's in Louisiana. The high-cheek bones and Roman noses are all typical also of the ones that I know. I am a Dupas. My father name was Raymond Paul Dupas. His father was Pierre. Pierre's father was Julien. I cannot go any further because I don't know my ancestors beyond those two.

I live in Lake Charles, Louisiana. I teach French and Spanish. I hope that this helps you.

One more thing, there is a Dupas Island in Canada. But, I am told that we originated from France.

Re: Dupas

2006-12-03 15:32:00Z

Hello,

My name is Mary Ann Dupas-Lacefield. I live in Lake Charles, Louisiana. I am a teacher of foreign languages. Currently, I teach French and Spanish.

I don't know if we are related or not. There was a big Dupas family reunion in 2002 in Alexandria. Were you there?

Re: Dupas in Louisiana

2006-12-03 15:28:28Z

My name is Mary Ann Dupas-Lacefield. I was born in De Ridder, Louisiana. My father, Raymond Paul Dupas and his brother, Joseph Pierre Dupas were originally from Mansura, Louisiana. They both moved there from Mansura and brought their families up there. Later, after my father, Raymond retired, he built a house in Mansura, Louisiana and moved back there where he died in 2002.

I hope that this helps you.

Re: Dupas family in France

2006-12-03 15:23:40Z

I don't know who the first ones were. My great-grandfather's name was Julien. Perhaps it was spelled Julian, but pronounced Julien. In any case, I do know that the Dupas' orignally came from France. His son, my grandfather's name was Pierre Dupas. My father's name was Raymond Paul Dupas. I hope that this helps you some.

Re: Dupas in Louisiana

2006-12-03 15:19:43Z

My mother lives in Mansura, Louisiana, presently. Her name is Mary Emma Sampson Dupas. She lives on 136 Sampson Lane in Mansura, Louisiana. Sampson Lane is a street or lane off of the Large Road in Manusura, Louisiana.

Re: Dupas in Louisiana

2006-12-03 15:16:35Z

Dear Elaine,

My grandfather, Paulin Sampson, had a brother named Clifton Sampson. I believe that his wife was Alice Sampson, who is now in a nursing home in Mansura or Marksville.

Re: Dupas in Louisiana

elainepurina1 — 2006-12-03 05:36:39Z

I believe we may be related. My father was Cilton Sampson, originally from Mansura, but he moved to Marksville to raise us. I beleive I am related to the Dupas. I always thought it was on my mother's side of the family (Francisco). Currently I live in Asheville, NC. Trying to reach you if we are related. I have done alot of research of the Sampson side of the family and your mom may be able to connect some of the pieces that I have. Please get in touch with me if we are related. I maybe visiting during the holidays and it would be nice to meet more family members.

RALPH DUPAS

2006-05-22 06:35:38Z

I have a second cousin who is in a nursing home at this time I believe. His name is RALPH DUPAS , he was a middle weight boxer in the 60's and fought several rounds and I know he is in the hall of fame for boxers. There was a court battle in the 60's about his race . His mother's name was Evelyn Duplessis Dupas. Does anyone have info on this and about the court on his race. I don't know what I am and it doesn't make any difference but I would like to know. His mother is my grandfathers sister and his name was Christopher. Thank you for your help . Phyllis

Octave Dupas

2005-07-01 20:09:53Z

Looking for a Octave Stevens Dupas parents Mathrie Dupas and Mrs. Stevens Dupas .. He also had siblings named Antione Ernest Dupas ( my ancestor) & Amadie Stevens Dupas.. I do know Mathurin (Mathrie) was living in New Orleans & listed in the city directory in 1838..... Any help please............

Re: Need information on Dupas

2004-08-07 22:41:31Z

My ancestors claimed to have come from France. Father Mathurin(Mathrie) Dupas shows up in New Orleans, La. in 1838. I do know he had att least three sons. Antoine Ernest Dupas, Octave Stevens Dupas, and Amadie( Amedee) Stevens Dupas. All I have on Octave &Amadie is they fought in the civil war for the south. Hope we can exchange information

Re: Dupas in France

2004-08-03 22:59:20Z

I have checked w/my uncle Michel Dupas in Conches, France [Seine et Marne]. He is originally from LaMeuse. His father was also from La Meuse. He believes his great grandparents arrived from Lithuania. The family name was always Dupas. They are very dark featured, appearing possibly Arabic or Hispanic, w/black hair, brown eyes & very dark skin. They all have Roman noses & high cheek bones. I'm not sure that any emigres in the new world are related to this extension of my family, but we are interested to find out.

Mathruin (Mathrie) Dupas

2004-08-03 21:48:49Z

father of Antoine Ernest Dupas . Mathurin (Mauthrie) Dupas was married to a MRs. Steven Dupas not sure if Steven was a first name or a maiden name or if she was a widow of Stevens. I hav e found out from another family member that Mathurin (Mathrie) and his wife had at least three children. Octave Stevens Dupas, Antoine Ernest Dupas, and Amadie (Amadee)Stevens Dupas. Mathurin Dupas first appeared in the 1838 New Orleans City Directory, and his name last appears in the City Directory of 1853. found the death notice and found a Mathieu Dupas age 45 yrs. (W) dying on September 12, 1850. It is my opinion that this is his date of death. His puts his birth circa 1805.

Re: Reply re Antoine Ernest Dupas

2004-08-03 20:08:50Z

Hi Beryl,

This is Mary Ann again. When you did the research for our family reunion, was my grandfather's name listed as Peter on his birth records or Pierre as everyone called him?

Re: Dupas family

2004-08-03 20:05:29Z

Hi Beryl,
This is your cousin Mary Ann. If you will email your address to me, I will send you a copy of that CD of the family reunion that my son made.

Re: Dupas in Louisiana

2004-08-03 20:02:47Z

I am a Dupas. I live in Lake Charles, Louisiana. My father, Raymond Paul Dupas, who died two years ago, lived in Mansura, Louisiana. His father was Peter (also known as Pierre) Dupas. My mother, Mary Emma Sampson Dupas, still lives in Mansura, Louisiana.

There are lots of Dupas in Alexandria and Mansura. I did not know that there were so many of us until the Dupas Family Reunion of 2002. Perhaps, you were there.

There is a whole island named after us in Canada.
