The Angelle family name is found in early Southwest Louisiana and descendants are numerous, many having made names for themselves in all aspects of life, from the priestshood to politics.

While this page on the Angelle family is not total as to descendants, I believe that it will afford a roadway, or map, for those who wish to pursue their research beyond this. The information is based on my own research for various purposes including the Centennial Edition of the St. Martinville Teche News; for my book, The Opelousas Post; my two genealogical columns, Twig by Twig and Relatively Speaking; and the works of the late Donald Hebert. The names are organized into family groups as that was the way I compiled them in the beginning and I do not have the time nor the patience to rearrange them. Each family group consists of the earliest mention of a couple. Their children are listed with them in the group, but then are listed as the heads of another group, alphabetically by first name, if they married. If I could not place a certain person in a group, I listed him/her separately. It should also be noted that since my research was divided into families, the entries are by that name only. However, I did add the parents of the spouses so that it would open a passage into that family.

I have such files on many, many families and I will be adding them as fast as I can. I will also add to the files which I have already on line, so this is an on-going process. Please check often.

When I ran into a problem that I could not resolve, I added notes at that Point; i.e. when I happened on a birth that could not be placed to a certain couple, or when information in different records seemed to conflict.

The information I upload into these pages are all the research I have in my files and I could therefore not elaborate any further or answer any questions. I encourage each of you to undertake or to complete your own searches wherever this may take you.
