My Mother's People

This blog is dedicated to the first mixed-race settlers who came to Louisiana in the early 1800s. Two hundred years later their descendants number in the thousands and are still bonded as a people through marriage and shared experiences. Most of us call each other cousin. We are beginning to call ourselves Redbones. We don't own the word, so a lot of people are inclined to get us mixed up with other mixed-race people in Louisiana.

Royce "Terry" Jackson
August 5, 1958 - April 14, 2009
Rest in peace, dear cousin, rest in peace. The world is a poorer place now without you.
