In progress is a comprehensive project about the Décuir and connected families of Louisiana. A founding family of Louisiana and Pointe Coupée, the journey connects with numerous founding families of Louisiana.

 Call for Contributors

The story of any family is best told through the experiences of the wide reach of its members. We extend an open invitation and call for additional contributors of information and photos  for this project so that all branches of Albert deCuire's family are included.   We are also interested in information about  accomplishments and talents of descendants to include in our Who's Who of the Décuir and allied families. Proper credit and/or provenance will be given to all submissions used. 

Please contact director@creolewest.com

Our thanks extends to those who have  contributed both their meticulous research and family photos thus far:  Hon. W.E.B. "Willie" Blackmon, Howert Collins,  Randy DeCuir, George DeCoux, George Delaune, Gina Colin Greenlee, Charles Honoré, and Geraldine Porche West. 

Complimentary website  

 Because of the nature of family history research, always a work-in-progress, we will utilize the complementary website for ongoing documentation for this family to include a public forum , a database, and a multi-media gallery for photos and images.  This website will provide a permanent virtual archive to honor this family for generations to come.

Forum

In order to facilitate web discussions about the Décuir and connected families, we have a new forum on the Décuir website. Simply login and begin discussions.
