My greatgreat grandfather was Jean Falcon who married Catherine Paul (born 1834)of the Chitimacha Indian tribe in Louisiana.Their children were Marie Falcon b. 1855)and Zulme Falcon (b. 1857). The Pauls were part of the tribal chief's family (chief --Benjamin Paul, their uncle). Tribe still exists.See 1860 census for Louisiana. For some reason, the two girls were living with Marti sic Martin Falcon in later census.Jean's family came from Spain to Louisiana, but I am not sure if it was Canary Islands or Malaga. Check info on spanish migrations to louisiana.Any information you may have would be appreciated.
