Exploring connection between Great Grandpa Ivory and Harry Ordogne

 

I have been exploring the connection between my paternal grandfather Nolan Scott's father Ivory Scott and Harry Ordogne.

Great Grandpa Ivory listed Harry Ordoyne (Ordogne) as the person who will knows his address on his World War 2 Draft Registration card.  His address at the time was 1318 St. Charles St in Thibodaux, Louisiana.






1940 Census shows the Scott family without Great Grandpa Ivory were living at 517 East Twelfth Street in Thibodaux, Louisiana.   

Considering this Census Record and World War 2 Draft Registration Card, Great Grandpa Ivory and his wife Dicey were clearly going through a separation.


1950 Census shows Great Grandpa Ivory living with his family at the same address 1318 St. Charles St in Thibodaux, Louisiana listed on his World War 2 Draft Registration Card.







1940 Census shows Harry Ordogne living at 1307 St. Charles Street in Thibodeaux, Lafourche Parish.   



Harry's World War 2 Draft Registration card shows him living at the same address 1307 St. Charles Street in Thibodeaux, Lafourche Parish as he did at the time of the 1940 Census.  He and Great Grandpa Ivory were clearly living in the same neighborhood when they registered for the World War 2 Draft.




1920 Census shows Great Grandpa Ivory and Dicey lived in a household between a Thibodeaux family and Boudreaux (wrongly transcribed as Bondux) family in a farming community on Bayou Lafourche Road. 

They were living on the sugar plantation Laurel Valley Plantation which is 2.3 miles east of Thibodaux.  



Great Grandpa Ivory's neighboring Thibodeaux and Boudreaux households were related to each other and Harry Ordogne.


Harry Joseph Ordogne (born 1905)

father: Clovis Nicolas Ordogne (born 1880)

paternal grandfather: Louis Aime Ordogne (born 1842)

paternal grandmother: Cecilia Ford (born 1850)

paternal great grandfather: Napoleon Ford (born 1814)

paternal 2nd Great Grandparents: Joseph Ford (born 1761) and Rosalie Roger (born 1777)


Boudreaux household

Clabert Boudreaux  - head (born 1876)

Josephine Thibodeaux Boudreaux - wife (born 1886)

Josephine's ancestors:

mother: Delphine Aurelia Ordogne (born 1867)

maternal grandfather: Louis Aime Ordogne (born 1842)

maternal grandmother: Cecilia Ford (born 1850)

maternal great grandfather: Napoleon Ford (born 1814)

maternal 2nd Great Grandparents: Joseph Ford (born 1761) and Rosalie Roger (born 1777)

1920 Census shows Louis was living in the Boudreaux household


Harry and Josephine were 1st Cousins.


Thibodeaux household 

Joachim Thibodeaux - head (born 1874)

mother: Benedicte Farelie Sanchez (born 1855)

maternal grandmother: Marie Mathilde Hebert (born 1839)

maternal great grandmother: Pharalise Rose Ford (born 1808)

maternal 2nd great grandparents: Joseph Ford (born 1761) and Rosalie Roger (born 1777)


The household after Clabert Boudreaux's household is that of Ernest Boudreaux (born 1857) and his wife  Agnes Ford Boudreaux.

Ernest and Clabert were brothers. 

They were in same household in 1880 Census with Valery and Marie Boudreaux as their parents.

Agnes seemed to have been related to Harry, Josephine, and Joachim through the Ford family.


Joachim was 3rd Cousins with Harry and Josephine.

Joachim and Josephine seem to have also been related to each other through shared ancestral family Thibodeaux.


Harry, Josephine, and Clabert were cousins through sharing Joseph Ford and Roger Rosalie as 2nd Great Grandparents. 

There seems to be be a cousin connection that Great Grandpa Ivory had with Harry, Josephine, and Clabert. 

One of the Census Records show him reporting that his father's birthplace was Virginia and his mother's birthplace was Louisiana. 

His mother Marrian may have been a Louisiana Creole with some French ancestry. 


Joseph Ford's patrilineal ancestry was Huguenot and had some roots in Virginia


Rosalie Roger was Acadian

shared Acadian ancestors that my paternal grandmother Mary Alice Gaines' maternal grandfather's paternal grandmother Anastasia Bourgeois had with Rosalie Roger:

Abraham Dugas and Marguerite Doucet who were my 10th Great Grandparents once and 11th Great Grandparents once

Jacques Bourgeois and Jeanne Trahan who were my 10th Great Grandparents twice and 11th Great Grandparents once

Claude Terriot and Marie Gautrot who were my 10th Great Grandparents once

Antoine Bourg and Antoinette Landry who were my 10th Great Grandparents once

Jean Terriot and Perrine Rau who were my 10th Great Grandparents three times and 11th Great Grandparents twice

Jean Gaudet and Nicole Colleston who were my 11th Great Grandparents


There is a possibility that both Grandpa Nolan and Grandma Mary were distant cousins through shared Acadian ancestral families.

The Many Ethnic Groups and Languages of Africa - The Most Diverse Continent

This is a blog post about the ethnic groups of Africa which is a continent that consists of over 50 countries and has thousands of ethnic groups. What I have noticed about ethnic groups is that there no clear definition of what they are.  That's what I am noticing in countries in general. In regards to Africa,  I am seeing names of specific ethnic groups like Wolof, Mandinka, Fulani being listed for certain countries, and those ethnic groups are in multiple countries.  I am also seeing nationalities being listed for ethnic groups like Somali for Djibouti. I am seeing the continental backgrounds like African, European for Cabo Verde which is where my maternal grandfather's paternal grandparents immigrated to USA from when it was still a Portuguese colony. Of course, there is stuff like Bantu, Berbers, Arabs for ethnic groups I see color race names listed for ethnic groups like White for Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha. The color race names make no sense any w...

My Paternal Grandmother's Descent from Swiss Kinsey Family Through A Branch of The Family That Had African Ancestry

Last year, I learned that my paternal grandmother Mary Alice Gaines descended from a Kinsey family that immigrated to New Bern, Craven County, North Carolina from Switzerland in 1710. She descended from John Ripley Kinsey who was born in 1693 in Switzerland.  He was one of the few of the Kinsey family that survived the Massacre of 1710 by The Tuscarora Indigenous Americans. The Kinseys were not the ancestors of Grandma Mary's maternal grandfather's European American father James P. Cross who was the son of  English American plantation owner Benjamin Cross who was born in Gates County, North Carolina and 3/4 Acadian woman Anastasia Bourgeois who was born in Assumption Parish in the Acadiana region in Southern Louisiana.  They had to be the ancestors of one of Grandma Mary's African American great grandparents.  All of them were slaves in the Acadiana region.   The only one of Grandma Mary's great grandparents that was recorded as being born in the Carolinas ...
