thanks. I will see what I can find. I found a copy of the free black slaveowners in my local genealogical library here in Houston. I'm looking for the surnames
Sam/Seme,
Levailler,
Masse/Moss/Mace/Mass,
Gradenigo/Gradney/Granedi
(these surnames were in St. Landry Parish, St. Martin Parish).
It must be a hard book to find.
