I just purchased "Vacherie" a book written by Elton Oubre. This is the second printing of this book with updated information on the families from the Vacherie area. I was shocked to read what he wrote about the progenitor of the Webre family in Louisiana. I'm wondering if we will have to rewrite the history on this family. The following is a passage from his book.
" The Webre Family of Vacherie. Jean Lefevre, a French soldier, discharged May 21, 1756, is responsible for one of the worst cases of mistaken idetity in the geneology of the German Coast. As a native of France, and as Jean Fevre, son of Jean Fevre and Catherine Stein Matterine, he married at the German Coast church on May 1, 1753 to Anne Catherine Tregre. He signed the marriage record as Jean Levefere".

What do you make of this? If this is true then all the information about Johann Webre is incorrect and not a part of the Webre history as we know it. Tell me it isn't so.
