This last chapter is being polished after my dealine date to finishe this
book in 1988. It lists all of us living who descend from the original
families. As there is still a bit of generation lagging, there are quite a
few generations included in a couple families. This chapter begins with the
individuals of the seventh generation, and follows with all know descendants
at the time of publication. Again, if the subject was living distant from
southeast Louisiana, i try to mention. Particular towns with which an
individual are best remembered will be included if it was brought out to me
during my research.


My title for this chapter "Mostly the Living", is meant to reflect the many 
living persons who are included, as only a handful are extinct lines or lost
otherwise, from those listed here. They are the present community of 
plaquemines Parish Louisiana, and also a minor influence in the New Orleans 
community in a variety of trades and capacities. We have to keep the better
traditions of the people before us, and try to create a better and viable 
life based on their triumphs and mistakes, some of which we currently make,
even seeing the previous poor direction which could prevent it.


These families are more than a "nucleus" that I exhibited in earlier 
chapters. Some of the families covered in this chapter span four generations
maybe five, as the families are closed out to the younger ones are from 
their parent, grandparent, or more distant ancestor. As in previous chapters,
an increasingly long outline and number will help to determine our route to 
the earliest listed ancestor.
