The Freedmen's Bureau and a family mystery...

January 1867. My 3rd great-granduncle signs a labor contract on Oak Hill Plantation in Natchitoches, Louisiana. But his family were documented free people of color. Only his mother had been enslaved.

The planter on the contract? Cyriaque Perot. Same last name as my ancestor.

One Perot holding the contract. One Perot signing it.

I can find Cyriaque in the records. But I can't find Oak Hill Plantation...

For 20 years, I knew my great gram was buried somewhere in New York, but I never went looking for her. Last winter, I finally made the journey. Come with me to the cemetery where I stood at her grave for the first time—and see why visiting ancestors' graves can unlock pieces of their story you'll never find in documents alone.

Do you visit your ancestors' resting places? What have you discovered there?

I didn't know I was Creole until I started my family tree (watch here---> https://youtu.be/xtV99Ub2RYo)
From a Chitimacha girl stolen by French soldiers in the 1700s to an enslaved man who sued for his freedom in 1822, this is my Louisiana Creole family tree. I'm walking you through multi-generational families in Natchitoches Parish who were listed as "free people of color" and built lives in Campti and Black Lake, Louisiana.

These are the primary source documents that prove what Louisiana Creole heritage actually looks like.
Come hang out :)

I've been going through old family photos this week, and I found these gems of my parents as babies. Here is my dad (first) and my mom (second). I get sooo nostalgic around New Year’s Eve.

There's something about flipping the calendar that makes us all a little sentimental, isn't there?

As we head into 2026, I'm curious:


What's one family story or ancestor you're hoping to learn more about in the new year? Or what's one research goal you're setting for yourself??

Here's to uncovering more hidden histories together. 🥂 happy new year!

Upcoming video is a deep dive on this family tree line: Marie Therese De La Grande Terre, Noel Conde who sued for his freedom in 1822, and the free people of color who shaped Natchitoches Parish.
