The Site Team performs a group consensus so we feel we are pretty accurate in most cases.

This family is a little more difficult to read on the image.  Francois and Onesime are sons of Francois Roger (1804-1827) and Marie Claire Menou. Claire had remarried to Auguste BAUDOIN on April 4, 1831 and it appears she has been widowed a second time. The last entry's surname is hard to read but she is not a Roger or a Baudoin.

This is the family of Joseph Zenon Roger, son of Francois Roger and Marguerite Leblanc. We have a marriage for him to Rosalie Arcenaux on June 15, 1835 so  whether she had a Mary or Marie in her name we do not now. Leon is Joseph Leon, born April 10, 1836, Joachim born circa 1835, Lesime is a new one for us, we do not have any other data for him as of yet. We know of three later children: Richard, born 1850; Louis Felix, born May 31, 1856 and Sylvester, born Mar 7, 1868. So the total of known children is six.

This is the family of Edmond Webre and Marie Fedeline Roger, daughter of Alexis Roger and Marie Melite Morvant. Alexis was the son of Jean Caissy dit Roger and Marie Victoire Prejean. Webmaster also believes he was a War of 1812 veteran as an Alexis Rojert is found in the rosters in LeBouef's 7th Regimnent of the LA militia. Source: US 1850 census, Lafourche Parish, page 330. The last name is a real guess as the handwriting is not easy to read.
