I am Steven Beaudoin Jr.
- Son of Steven Beaudoin Sr.
- Grandson of Leopold Beaudoin
- Great Grandson of Augustin(e) Beaudoin
- Great-Great Grandson of Guilliaume Beaudoin
- Great-Great-Great Grandson of Dumas Beaudoin
To date I have only been able to trace as far back as Dumas Beaudoin (b. 1810)
I am certain he had siblings which account for multiple branches of the family not represented here, yet. Further, I am still working to fill in the branches of the tree under Dumas.
Please contact me if you'd like to compare notes or help with filling in any of the missing information. Bo@BoSpeaks.com
Dumas Beaudoin
1860 US Census - Natchitoches, LA
- Line 29 - D(umas) Boudon
- Dumas is 49 y/o
- Apparently his wife has passed away and he's raising 6 children on his own.
- Note the initial only for first name and spelling of last name.
- There was much lost in the translation when our people could not read and write for themselves.
- Census takers would just try to spell names phonetically.
- This is why we have so many variations of Beaudoin/Beaudion/Baudion/Baudon/Beudoin/Bauduin/Baudin/Boduin...
