Hello Mozelle, I hope you are still on ancestry. I am looking for descendants of Pierre Hardy of New Orleans and you are one of them. I am making a database and would like to have the correct information.

Can you help me?

My husband has an uncle named Bobby Fruge. Uncle Bobby's mother's name is Mary and my mother-in-law's name is Audrey. They lived in the Lafayette, LA area. Is this the family that you are looking for? What was your great grandmother's name?

My grandfather was Joseph Fruge in Eunice, La. My mother moved to Port Arthur, Texas, Jefferson County but I do not know any other Fruges in Jeff County. My relatives have always lived in or near Eunice. My mother was born in Church Point. We were decended from the original Fruges fom Cheney, France that settled near Eunice in the 1750. hope you are still doing research. Dorothy

Wrong Ernest Joseph Fruge(my great- grandfather was born 1870 and died in 1941. He was adopted by Gerald Fruge and Ophelia Brown. Ernest was 9 years old when he was adopted.) He(Ernest) was living with Lastie Manuel at that time. I was told he was Cherokee. Ernest is burial in Morrow, Saint Landry Parish, Louisiana. In Saint Peter's Catholic Cemetery. Ernest Joseph Fruge was his adopt name.

marcusfregia — 2011-01-20 06:23:09Z

Wow, youve done alot of good work there I also have been tracking our family history, looks like you found alittle more than I did. I found that Pierre was with his family an indentured servent in Fruge, France. If you notice his relocation to the states is prior to the french revolution, at this time many land owners started freeing IS or allowing them to purchase thier freedom. The name francios means "from france" or "free one" in french, and showed on paper that the person presenting this was free of any indentured dept. Also he moved to another village from Fruge prior to moving to the area now known as LA and TX. He was a miller or baker for awhile before moving. As to the land and how it was purchased, either he had money from the time spent in LA or his marriage into the merchant family helped this, as they were a prominant family in that area at the time.

3) Elois wife Erminia Fontenot's parents are listed as Don Diegue C. (b 31 May 1888, VP ch : v.r. p96) & Fanelie Dixen (1 July 1886, VP ch : v.r. p96), however the information also Don Diegue and Fanelie listing Don Diegue C. Fonetenot and Fanelie Dixen as their parents. The other problem with this is that Erminia was form in 1873 which would make Diegue 11 and Fanelie 13.

Re: FRUGE' in Southern Louisiana

Fruge1927 — 2010-08-20 12:39:19Z

I could definitely use some assistance. I am having difficulty finding a couple of connections. 1 )The connection between my grand father Elois Fruge (1879) and my great-grand father Francois Fruge. From my research I have found that Francois, born 1854 died abt 1880, is the son of Augustin Pierre Fruge and brother to Casaire Fruge. However this is where things get convoluted. I have found information stating that Elois mother is listed both as Clara Bordelon and Celestine Bruthe (on the death certificate, info given by his son Joseph). Casaire was married to Clara Bordelon while his brother Francois was living with him.

2) Out of Elois' siblings - Victor, Olide, Willis, Gustave, Theresa, and Derozin. It appears Victor and Olide's father was actually Casaire and not Francois. I can not find any information on the others. I know Olide was married (per his death certificate) but there is no information listed on his wife, not even her name. He was killed by a Frisco train and evidently no one supplied family information.

I realize it has been a while since you posted, but your great-grand father is listed Evans J. Fruge 1890-1961 buried in St. Paul's Cemetary in Eunice, was not able to locate Lucille's grave there. I'm sure you know about findagrave.com you can look up just about any cemetary by names, dates, etc. Let me know if this helps you any. My email address is glendafrugern@gmail.com

Re: I am a Frugé researching my lines...

dlogananderson — 2010-01-09 00:44:14Z

My great-great-great grandfather was Jean Louis Frouge. From various accounts, he was most likely born in Landry Parrish, LA in 1822. I do not know who he married, but I do know it was a French and Indian woman whose family name resembles Outlous (I have no idea how to spell such a resemblance). He had several children, but the only one I know is my great-great grandfather William Jefferson who married Mary Hattie Gill (we called her Hattie)who was supposedly Osage though there is debate among my family that she is of Chickasaw heritage given that she was adopted by people with the surname "Hite". He had eight Children: Willard Marshall (b. 1916), Preston Wesley (b. 1917), Eva Lena (b. 1919) who we called "Sister", Russel Jack (b. ?), Nora Bernice (b. 1922), Leonard Percy (b. 1924), Earl Jefferson (b. 1927), and Jefferson (b. 1933). My great grandmother was Nora Bernice who married into a line of Herods and produced my grandmother, Mary Emma. Now, I can't say that all of this information is chronologically correct with names and what not, but they are the correct names. Also, they're associated with three parishes, but I only know of Beauregard Parrish and Landry Parrish. I myself am trying to organize a lot of information through family legend and paperwork about the Fruges since I recently moved to the South, so it would be good to communicate with you and exchange notes! I hope some of this information sounds familiar and might be helpful :-)

FRUGE' in Southern Louisiana

dwaynehinton1 — 2009-04-24 06:21:41Z

Greets all,

I'm trying to trace beyond my great-grandparents. Joseph Dudley Fruge' came from Eunice, LA, married Alice Miller, later on lived/died around Baton Rouge, LA.

His parents were Evans Fruge' (abt 1891-?) and Lucile Sitig (i believe 1899-1980).

That's as far as I get.

Alice's parents were Etenne Miller (abt 1897-?) and Ezlora (abt 1902-?).

Many years ago, one of the family in Eunice had traced (I believe) the Fruge' side to pirates (as in Lafitte).

And, that's pretty much the extent of my knowledge. Any and all help, is greatly appreciated.

Martin Fruge and Denise Guillory

17449ssavoy — 2009-02-21 16:48:40Z

I received some notes from my uncle regarding my family history. In his notes he list that my Great-Great Grandparents were Martin Fruge and Denise Guillory. He list the children as follows:
Roselie Fruge - married Charles Alomky
Olize Fruge - married Eigeme Schexnider
Alvina Fruge - married Adam Roy
Eddie Fruge
Ellis Fruge
Azelia Fruge - married Marcial Trahan - my Great Grandparents
Alina Fruge - married Ernest LeBlanc
Gustove Fruge - married Earine Myers

The info on the children differs from what I have found here and on other boards. I have found the following children listed for Martin and Denise:
Pauline Fruge
William Fruge
Achille Fruge
Augustin Fruge

Does anyone know where the error is? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Name change

DiAnneCooleyNobles — 2008-10-05 22:38:03Z

Correction: Alzena (my grandmother) was the daughter of John F. Frusha, who was the son of Jean Louis Fruge. Sorry, I just skipped a generation.

Re: Name change

DiAnneCooleyNobles — 2008-10-05 22:26:19Z

I was told that when the family came to Calcasieu Parish and the kids started school, that a teacher made them spell it FRUSHA. It was originally FRUGE.

I am also a descendant of Jean Louis Fruge. (His daughter, Alzena was my grandmother on my father's side.)

I'd love to share info on this line. I can be contacted at nobles6375@aol.com

Diana: Sorry for the long period to reply. I am indeed also researching the Miller's, and in fact have done lots of work to date. GU Leo is one of Grandma's uncles I knew, but not well when I was growing up in Iota. As you know by now, Aunt Lillian died 6 Sept 2005 in Iota. I would love to have the photo you referred to with her as a baby. I have one Anne Mae LeJeune, but she was born in 1934, probably too young to be your husband's grandmother.

Fruge slave ancestor fathered by Lastie Fruge

2006-02-07 19:28:59Z

Hi, I'm doing some research in order to find out more about my ggg grandmother, Caroline Fruge(b1844) who married Emmanuel Young in 1868 in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. According to Catholic records, she was the daughter of Lastie FRUGE and Rose LITTLE? Also census records list her as being a mulatto. I believe that the Lastie FRUGE that was listed as her father is the same Lastie FRUGE that was married to the FUSILIER woman. Interestily enough, as I was browsing through the 1860 and 1850 slave schedules, I found a slaveowning Fruge named Celine FRUGE with 2 mulatto slaves in one year and one female mulatto slave in 1860. I believe that the 16 yr mulatto found in 1860 and the 6 yr old mulatto female in 1850 is the same person and is proberly my ggg grandmother, Caroline. I would like to know if anyone knows who is Celine FRUGE and whether or not there is any connection to Lastie FRUGE. Celine lived in Avoyllees Parish, Louisiana in both years.

Leo Miller was my Grandfather. I know you are not researching the "Miller's" but I have photos of Amenthe Miller Fruge with Lillian as a baby, I also have Lillian Fruge's wedding picture.

Lisa Pierre Savoie, b. 1828

is the information i have on that couple -- and I dont have the exact information handy (lost my computer yesterday and waiting for new parts to come in) but I believe that since my grandmother (prob born about 1900) was a Fruge, these are her grandparents if I remember right. Thus her father had to be one of their sons. If you are still on the board, please contact me at jsiegman@comcast.net.

updates for a Fruge' line

Eryn54 — 2005-05-05 23:45:53Z

I am the daughter of Ray Lawremce FRUGE; b. 3 May 1924 in Orange, TX. His parents were Clarence FRUGE' (whom I am looking for any info on) and Hallie Mae WINFREE, supposedly married ? in Orange TX.
Ray Lawrence FRUGE' m. 2 Nov. 1954, Dorothy Laverne DAVISON, both from the Dallas TX area. They had moved to Minnesota/South Dakota, where their first of two daughters were born: Vera Eryn Gwynn FRUGE, b. 24 May 1954, and Laura Lea FRUGE', b. 17 Feb. 1961.

Ray FRUGE died in January of 2000 of a stroke. Dorothy Laverne DAVISON died in 1980 of congestive heart failure. And my little sister, Laura FRUGE' died in June 2003. Being the last of a line has reinstated my genealogy interest again.

QUERY: I am having trouble finding any information on my grandfather: CLARENCE FRUGE', d. in Lake Charles, LA.

His father was BENJAMIN FRUGE',: found in a footnote of Judge Cleveland's book and a site that has been lost since the 1980s in a reference in a LA library. I was gratefully helped by Betty? when I was Prodigy. If anything is available about him, I would love to hear from you.

The ggrandfather is ERNEST FRUGE' - again from Judge Cleveland's book in the footnote. I don't know much about him, but I did find a listing of an ERNEST FRUGE' as a private in the Confederate Army.
