In 2011 I traveled to Patterson Louisiana and visited the residence of my 2nd great-grandmother Julianne
and her parents lived on as properties. There were chills running down my body when I walked on the grounds
that they had walked on.The residence now known as“Calumet” was the “O. and N. Cornay Plantation” or
“Radville Plantation”, when my ancestors reside there. It was the home of Octave Cornay, who, with his brother,
Numa, had built up a large sugar mill complex on land inherited from their mother, Mrs. Henry Cornay (nee
Francoise Radville Haydel), in an area known as Dutch Settlement. She had inherited from her parents, George
Haydel and Marguerite Bossier. The original land grant had belonged to Jean Baptiste Bossier.

My 7th great grandfather is also Ambroise Haydel. Both my great grandparents on my mother’s side have him as their ancestor as well. I was very surprised to learn all of this from Ancestry.com since I thought my family came over from Germany in the late 1880’s. My grandfather was a Miller and that is my maiden name. I enjoyed reading your blog.

Hello Cousin Natalie, there are a lot of us on Ancestry whose ancestors are from the German Coast of Louisiana.
