Gamaliel's Principle
On Sunday, 08 Mar 2009, I took a long Sunday drive I've been meaning to take for several years now. For genealogy purposes. So if you are bored by a little genealogy, or old cemetery pictures, don't torture yourself any further.
I drove south to New Orleans (est'd 1718), across the Mississippi River to the "West Bank" and proceeded west and north on a big loop back toward Baton Rouge.
In St. John The Baptist Parish is a catholic church by the same name, with a cemetery where my greatx7 grandparents are buried in unmarked graves. Their names were Adam (born about 1680) and Jeanne Elizabeth Trischl, and came to america from Strasbourg, France in 1720. They arrived with other french and german settlers on the ship La Garonne in Louisiana, after they reclaimed the ship from a pirate attack in Sainte Domingue, and first stopped at the french post at Biloxi Bay. Settlers from northeast France, and Augsburg, Germany, where the ship sailed from, settled on the banks of the Mississippi up river from New Orleans on what came to be known as "La côte des Allemands" (The German Coast). Adam Trischl had a son named Henri Trichel (simplified name in america) who went north and settled at Fort St. Jean Baptiste de St. Denis (est'd 1714), a french & spanish trapping & trading post, which later became Natchitoches, Louisiana. Oldest settlement of the later Louisiana Purchase.
The Trischl's that remained in the New Orleans area came to spell their name Triche.
These pictures that follow are from the cemetery in Edgard, Louisiana, at St. John The Baptist Catholic Church Cemetery.
You will see the western levee of the Mississippi River in the background of many of the pictures.
Thanks for looking.
