I have been to many of the reunions down the bayou. Your late husband and my late father are related some how, I do not remember. We do not have much on the geneology of our family. My late Aunt who married my fathers brother did lots of research. But when she passed her son threw everything away. I would love to chat with you if you are ever down in New Orleans. My email is beckyr02@yahoo.com.

One of my many greats grandmother was Mathilde "Martine" Roderique (or Roderigue) born in Beauceville, Quebec 12/23/1824 and married to John (Jean) Baptiste Gagnon also of Beauceville b. 2/5/1811. They immigrated to Waterville, Maine and the officials changed their name from Gagnon to Goodno, which I wondered was a slur at the time (no good, good no?) Other family names included LaTulippe (or LaTulipe) and Garant (or Garrand). I couldn't trace back any further although I thought the LaTulippe branch may have descended from Antoine Chantelois dit Latulipe and Ursule Chantelois Poirier Desloges of Overne, France, his birth in 1740 and hers in 1746. Anyway, fascinating to try to track back and excited there is a Roderigue reunion in LA. Love George's work. If anyone has more information or corrections, would love to hear.Mimi Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202452506891155896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079877794128349006.post-45060362045168928762014-05-16T00:35:29.338-05:002014-05-16T00:35:29.338-05:00Rodrigue here, descendant from the great French Ca...Rodrigue here, descendant from the great French Canadians.

My grandfather, Robert Rodrigue , was from the Lake Charles area and married a woman named Eunice Bonds, his second wife and my grandmother. They migrated to the south Texas area way back when. We are allegedly related somehow by my grandfathers first marriage whom he had 5 children. Myself and my male cousins even strongly resemble George. Can you point me to a family tree somewere so I can make the connections if any?

I am told by "old-timers" in the family that her maiden name was Rodrigue before she married my great-grandfather, Albert Hebert. She was Zoe Rodrigue. They all lived in Southern Louisiana before moving to Orange, Texas. I will research these four Rodrigues and see if that gets me anywhere!

About 10 years ago, my cousin briefed me on his line study of Rodrigue. He stated we derived from Portugal, went to Canada and some went from Canada to Louisiana. He also stated that there were a lot of artists in the Rodrigue family. It seems that the Rodrigue blood has developed a line of people who definitely think out of the box. Most of us seem to be well rounded and have the same energies. In no matter what we do, we like to research, discover, develop, create and succeed. We are very independent and self driven people. Many of us tend to be self employed. I am very proud to be a Rodrigue. And yes, the pronunciation has been an issue.

Like my sister Linda commented on March 6, 2010, my sisters and I shared the same pronunciation issues growing up that you describe in your blog entry.<br /><br />Linda did a great job of exposing our entire family to George Rodrigue and the Blue Dog before her untimely death in September at the age of 41. Thanks to your blog and her comment (which I only discovered this evening), I can read in Linda's own words why she was so fascinated by the Blue Dog.<br /><br /><br />Diane M.
