La Famille Ardoin de la Louisiane
The earliest mention of the name Ardoin appears to come from the year 600 and appeard as St. Hardoin and St. Harduin in France. Etienne Ardoin (b.1733) was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and later settled in the French settlement of Kaskaskia, Illinois. Several of his children moved down the Mississippi Rier to Louisiana and settled in what came to be known as Opelousas and some of the surrounding communities which still have a strong French-Creole influence. Descendants live in Louisiana and other parts of the United States.

Louisiana History
From the accounts of 18th-century travelers to the interpretations of 21st-century historians, Jumonville lists more than 6,800 books, chapters, articles, theses, dissertations, and government documents that describe the rich history of America's 18th state. Here are references to sources on the Louisiana Purchase, the Battle of New Orleans, Carnival, and Cajuns. Less-explored topics such as the rebellion of 1768, the changing roles of women, and civic development are also covered. It is a sweeping guide to the publications that best illuminate the land, the people, and the multifaceted history of the Pelican State. Arranged according to discipline and time period, chapters cover such topics as the environment, the Civil War and Reconstruction, social and cultural history, the people of Louisiana, local, parish, and sectional histories, and New Orleans. It also lists major historical sites and repositories of primary materials. As the only comprehensive bibliography of the secondary sources about the state, ^ILouisiana History^R is an invaluable resource for scholars and researchers.
