Isreal Sonnier

wlslack_1 — 2009-08-12 22:29:12Z

I am looking for information on Isreal Sonnier. He died at the age of 46 on 25 Nov 1937 in Louisiana, somewhere around Rayne; we think from TB but we're not sure. If anyone has or comes across more information I would love to hear about it.

I have a Philomine St. Pe as the godmother of Marie Martha Dupuis at St. Bernard's Catholic Church in the year 1892 in Breaux Bridge, LA. Martha's grandmother was Louison Sonnier. I have some other Sonnier's, on baptism records that I'm trying to tie together. I believe you mentioned you had a photograph of Philomine and I would like to see it, if you will. I searched the surname St. Pe and didn't realize it was her married name. Now it makes sense, she was a Sonnier. I would like to correspond with you concerning some other Sonnier names and would like to help, if I could. I live in Lafayette Parish, LA.

Please feel free to send an email at tet_breaux@yahoo.com

Thanks in advance,
Brenda

Hello Jerome Sonnier. I have nothing on my Sonnier side. All we know is she was Native American and married Bartheleme Sampy (St. Pe). When she died my Great Grandfather listed her mother as "Unknown". The family says she was very nice, and historical research shows maybe she didn't want to be put on the reservation. Some family members said she had relatives in the Rayne/church point area, but we do not know and the tree.

I will send you a picture.

Remie Sonnier was my father's father.. My dad was Willie Wilford Sonnier, and the first of 9 children that the couple had. My father's brothers were Mayous, Julius, and Ozemie; his sisters were Mattie, Rena, Wedna, Felonius, Essie Mae, and Mary Ann. If the Remi that you are related to had no children, it is still possible that we are related. My grandfather Remie's mother, was married to a Sonnier twice- her first and third marriage. Her first husband, I believe, had children by his first wife.
My family origins are from the Basile/Eunice area, so it is entirely possible that we are related.

Hello, my name is Jerome Sonnier from Eunice. I am also researching the Sonnier family. I have a Remi Sonnier in my tree but no spouse or children. I have Remi's father as Armogene Sonnier who was married to Eve Lebleu. Do you think this is the same Remi? My email address is kajunkruzin@aol.com if you think this is a match.

Hello, my name is Jerome Sonnier. I am kin to the Sonnier's from the Church Point/Lafayette area. My ggg-grandfather was Aurlien Sonnier(Soigne) and his father was Louis Sonnier(Soigne). I think also that they are related to a Sylvain Sr. and Jr. Is it possible that we have a similar tree? If you would like, we can share trees and see for any common connection.

Famo Barry, born Abbeville, Louisiana. Living in Lake Arthur, LA when he died in the Jennings hospital in June 1983. Married Francoise Beard April 1, 1916. Brother, William Berry. Sisters, Azina Berry, Medora Berry, Mary Berry could be Gladys Marie, and May Berry. Looking for information on my grandfather Famo Barry’s parents and their parents. However, any information on his brothers and sisters is welcome. I have found a thread for Azina Berry married to Simon Trahan, thank you Neris.

Sonnier family tree

2005-05-26 00:25:48Z

I am trying to trace my roots back on my mom's side. Here is what info I have:

My grandfather, Willard Molitor. His mother, Laura Sonnier Molitor, d/o Donat Sonnier(1-26-183? to 2-15-1895) and Lucille LaFleur Sonnier. I ahve found info on Donat, but I am not sure if it is the same one. I have not been able to find any information on Lucille. I have no birth or death dates for Lucille. My goal for now is to find out where Donat goes on the tree. I've read lots of messages here about Donat II and III, but I'm not sure if everyone is the same or not. If anyone has any information that they could share, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
~~Mikki

Hello, please send me a picture of your Native American grandmother -- Marcelite Riggs Sonnier-- married Thomas Sonnier in 1873. My e-mail address is: mscreole@bellsouth.net, I am from Carencro, Louisiana. I too have a picture of Philomene Sonnier :-)

I pray that my Philomene Sonnier is connected to your grandmother. Here's the information I have on my Great-Great-grandmother Philomene. My famlies oral history says she is Native American and her death certificate says parents "unknown". Family says it was common not to put you were Native American because in their area it was possible they would be sent back to the reservation. So they were hiding their heritage.

Philomene Sonnier (Sognie) Sampey
Philomene Sampy: Born—1869
Died: -- December 15, 1953 (at age 84)
married– Barthelemy (Batime) Sampy (Born: 1860, d: 7/9/1935, age 75, Death Certificate secured)

G GRANDFATHER

sandief1234 — 2005-10-07 13:55:36Z

I AM RESEARCHING MY GRANDFATHER'S FAMILY. HIS NAME WAS JOHN SONNIER BORN MAY 1913 IN MALLET, LA. HE WAS MARRIED TO LOVENIA SOILEAU OF MAMOU. THEY LIVED IN CHINA TX FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER. HOWEVER, ALL I KNOW ABOUT HIS PARENTS ARE THEIR NAMES ARTHUR SONNIER BORN 1895 AND SEMONIA DEFILS BORN 1896 FROM THE CHURCH POINT OR MALLET AREAS. I THINK THAT MY GRANDFATHER WAS THE ONLY CHILD BORN TO HIS PARENTS BUT ANY OTHER SIBLINGS OF HIS ARE UNKNOWN. ANY INFORMATION GIVEN WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
