lw28160630 — 2009-06-28 09:25:05Z

Hi, I am also looking for mine! I think some of your names are familiar, as my grandfather was Cornelius Johannes and his father was Gert Cornelius. I think my grandparents lived in Sutherland and moved to Oudtshoorn many years ago, where both of my grandparents died. My grandmother was nee Vermeulen and she spoke of the Kandelaars Rivier family and I know there was a Le Roux in the family as well (a lady).
My grandparents were well known in Oudtshoorn as my grandfather's one brother owned the bakery in town and my grandfather owned a little corner shop at some stage.
There were 12 brothers and sisters on my grandfather's side and 14 on my grandmother's side.
I certainly think there is a link somewhere. Please could you give me more information? I share the nicknames as they were shortened for all the complicated ones! I have asked my dad to sit and write down the family names that he remembers, but I live far away and we have not seen each other for almost 10 year!
Thanks!

Olivier's of Castellavazzo(Belluno) Italy

GaryOlivier — 2009-02-28 21:55:52Z

My grandfather Giovanni Oliver and his sister Clara came to America in the 20's. Their parents were Vicenzo and Regina(De Marco.) Numerous other Olivier's came over during the 20's from Belluno. I am trying to find out how they are all related. Some of the others were Giacomo, Giovanna, Beniamino, Vergilio, Fioravante, Emilio, Caterina, Angelina, Luigi, Umberto, Marino, Antonio, Futunato, Agostino, Aurelio, Augusto, Amabalino, and Primo. I think that most are sibling and cousins.

Lyneekay61 — 2008-06-22 08:37:58Z

David, My father Murphy's family was related to your father, but your grandfather's name is not what I was given. I was told that two brothers married 2 sisters. My father's brother was your fathers brother. Now, I'm confused. Gerard was my Granfathers name. He should be your uncle. Laocade was my Grandmother. Does this sound familiar? I listed all the information on the family that I could find and thought I verified. Since New Iberia is the location, we have to be related.

Olivier family St Martin LA

gemmacorrell — 2008-03-19 22:33:12Z

I am hoping that somebody will be able to help me.
My great grandmother was Hazel Rebecca Correll, and her maiden name was Olivier, although she was adopted at about 16 by a Boyd Goebel. She was born in 1912 in St Martin, Louisiana and died in 1999 in North Carolina.
Her husband and my great grandfather was Charles White Correll.
I believe her father's name was Darmeville (Davaneville?) Olivier who was apparently born in 1856 but when I search for a Darmeville Olivier the birthdate is 1868
her mother was Louise, Louisette or Laurcelle (born c. 1888). Both born in St Martin, LA.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Olivier de Vezin, Grand Marais, Iberia, Louisiana

CharityBoutteMurrell — 2007-03-03 05:35:28Z

Hi Marilyn,

My name is Charity (Boutte) Murrell. My family also comes from Grand Marais, Iberia, Louisiana. I am the daughter of Michael Boutte, who is the son of Frances Boutte, who is the daughter of Lucia Olivier, who is the daughter of Letecia Olivier. I am not sure who Lucia's Father is, but her step father is Edward Raggette. Letecia and Edward's combined family included 7 children. One of them is Hilda (Ragette)Boutte, who married Joseph Boutte. One of their children was Alton Boutte, who married Florence Olivier, your Grandmother. I believe Melinda Olivier is your mother. I got this information from a program from the Olivier - Raggette Family Reunion in 1989. I am doing research on my family heritage as well. Our Great Grandmothers were sisters. I would love to talk to you more about our families and share information if possible.

God bless,

Charity Boutte Murrell

(If we know eachother and I seem to have misplaced your name please charge it to my head and not my heart)

Re: Bishop Olivier

dlcquiller — 2006-11-27 00:37:34Z

Talk about small world. I spoke to Aunt Ethel yesterday. Her husband Theo was my grandfather's brother. So I guess that means that brothers married sisters because Bertina and Octavia (my grandmother) were sisters. Wow! now I know where to start looking for my great grandfather. Do you know what street in Lake Charles Mathais lived on? Maybe I cna find some old Census info to get the other names in the household. This is the first ever connection past my grandparents that I have ever gotten. Thanks so much.

2005-08-13 17:55:25Z

To all the descendants of Zephirin Olivier who was born in 1823. My grandfather was Harry J. Olivier, son of Oliva who the the grandson of Zephirin. Zephirin, died in 1920 and a clipping was saved by my grandmother, Frances Delaney Olivier, who was also a descendant of Zephirin. He claimed to be 106 years old, but I believe census records indicate he was actually 96 when he died.

Do you have access to Stanley Arthur's "First Families of Louisiana?" His documentation is a bit off, but it gives an Olivier de Vezin line for 3-4 generations. I am a descendant of Charlotte Olivier de Vezin and Daniel Francois Fagot. Her father came to Louisiana (New Orleans) in the ealry 1700s as the King of France's highway surveyor and engineer. Let me know if you can't find anything, and I'll try to copy some pages from Arthur. Lana Fagot Prejean

'Afternoon Jimmy, my son and I were looking up some info on the Olivier name and saw your name on the message board. My mother, Gladys, was allways a huge fan of yours, don't know if anyone got in touch with you when she passed away last February. She frequently called my son by your name! I've got some information and pictures of the Oliviers that my mother passed on to me, one of my favorites is of my Tante So and my grandmother playing chess with Vieu Mam in the background - chances are you have seen all of those pictures at my mother' s house but I would be glad to send you copies if you want me to. Jimmy, your mother took very good care of me when I was a child sick with Rheumatic fever, when she passed away it was a great loss to me, your father stayed in our lives until he passed away also. My children still remember him dearly - he called my son, Richard, "No. 88". As you know my parents marriage was a "rocky" one and your father shared his home with my mother and I when we had no other place to go - so you can imagine the impack your loving and generous parents had on my life. I would love to hear from you if you have time to reply. My phone number at work is 713 266-5300

Hello, Janet!

When I visited Trois-Rivieres some years ago, I bought several books about Les Forges du Saint-Maurice. One relates the arrival of the ironmaster Olivier de Vezin in 1735, but does not say what ship he arrived on. I will keep looking at the others to see if I can find that information for you.
