What a wonderful piece of history and to see Broussard being honored like this. I was tearing up when I saw the Broussard name in the tiles...I can only imagine how deeply personal all this was for you. My 5th great grandfather on my mothers side was a founder in the US before the revolutionary war.. He helped start the Brothern church. I've only seen a copy of a photo of the building they met in from a book, but have had a longing to go to stand where God brought the Long family to put down roots. Thank you for sharing this with us. 💕
I want to Thank You Both for sharing history. Our heritage is profoundly embedded within us, Our families legacies will continue to live on with the Greatest Thanks To Those Who Continue To Share such amazing history for those to visit. Mr Brett you captured something so dear to my heart, and I Thank You.
Thank you for sharing. You have inspired me to take my kids there. The prayer kneeler in the house is called a prie-dieu. My Aunt traced our family history to French royalty. My Grandmother's maiden name is Chalon.
Wish we had realized this when we lived for a short time in Lafayette years ago, There for hubby's work.. Would have loved to visit this. Than you for sharing and taking us along. Just to see your smiles and here your voices. Know very special to you and what you r learned.
I love this video. How cool to be able to trace your roots and see visually their place of origin. The mural was gorgeous along with your family Crest. I had forgotten about File' being made from Sassafras leaves. We have a tree, can I make my own spice? I know the excitement Amy felt with that outdoor kitchen. I would love that too. Thanks for sharing❤
This is truly an amazingly structured and very precious to the heart video, Super proud of yall and this one and how far your Videography skills have progressed! I really feel like I was with y'all and the history we have! I love yall so much!!
When people in Louisiana call themselves Cajun today, it’s actually incorrect to do so. Let me explain why: When the Acadians arrived in Louisiana, there were already people here. There were immigrants and Louisiana-born local people. The native born Louisiana people of any old world race (Europe OR Africa OR Asia OR any combination of those) were called Creoles. Among these Louisiana Creoles were whites, blacks and mixed race people. Among these Louisiana Creoles were people of French descent, people of German descent, people of Spanish descent and people of African descent. And also there were non-Creoles present also, namely the “American” Indians. The native-born Acadian children in Louisiana and their descendants would then become Creoles as well. The immigrants also consisted of the same ancestry groups as the Louisiana-born peoples (called Creoles). The Acadians when they arrived, they heavily mixed with the Louisiana people of French descent (most of their ancestry direct from France and a minority of it from Quebéc) and this new French-Québécois-Acadian mixed group absorbed some ancestries from French descent migrants from the city of Mobile that fled to the area that is today called Louisiana when French Mobile was invaded by the English in the 18th century and they mixed into the group, the 18th century Louisiana German descent and Spanish descent groups also mixed into the group but at smaller percentages. Then in the 19th century, more French immigrants arrived and mixed into the group and people from the French Caribbean arrived (French descent whites, blacks of African descent and mixed race of French and African descent. These French Caribbeans came from St. Domingue, Martinique and Guadeloupe) and the white Caribbeans of French descent mixed into the group as well. Some small bits of British/Irish and Italian were mixed in to them as well. So this mixed group of French-Québécois-Acadian-white Caribbean French-Mobile French-19th century French immigrant-mixed-group with smaller bits of German, Spanish, British/Irish and Italian additives is far from being Acadians a.k.a Cajuns. Next time someone today identifies as Cajun, it should make you cringe knowing this history. I can post more non-Acadian “Cajun” surnames among the “Cajun” people than you and your parents have fingers and toes. Think about that. Cajuns no longer exist, but white Louisiana Creoles do.
@@BroussardHomestead Yes, you’re mixed up like everyone else in Louisiana whether they are white or mixed race or black. We all were called Creoles before and when this Cajun identity came along, it destroyed that and caused divisions, misinformation and falsehoods. Now, we have millions of white Louisiana people that are a mixture ethnicities thinking they are Acadians, calling themselves Cajuns and this Cajunization of white Louisianians and all things south Louisiana has destroyed our traditional Creole identity we’ve all had for centuries and has destroyed the authenticity of it all. So what you got are white Creoles thinking they are Acadians, calling themselves Cajuns (a corruption meaning Acadian) and thinking the mixed race people and blacks are the only creoles instead of them. It’s a huge mess that needs to be straightened out. We are in emergency status and most of us don’t even know it.

I have done much of my ancestry and I am absolutely a mutt lol
