Eudoxie "Dozie" Treme Marriage to Anthony Lightell

Here is a scan of the marriage certificate from the Archive of the Archdioceses of New Orleans.

I've struggled with the spelling of her first name. I've seen Eudogzie, Eudozie, Dozie. This marriage certificate introduces yet another spelling: Eudoxie. The difference this time is that if you google Eudozie, you get the spelling Eudoxie. So, my current theory, is that Eudoxie is the correct spelling of her name. I've corrected my records as such. 

Her actual marriage date is a bit of a mystery. The certificate says 29 February 1910...not a real date! My best guess is that the marriage took place on Sunday, 27 February, and the 7 is being mistaken for a 9. 

The witnesses are interesting: Robert Cullen, Hortair Treme, and Georg Duviau. The family has a Cullen connection. Hortair is most likely her brother Arthur Paul (Jr.). On Georg, well I'm not sure who he is, but it's nice to have another name to chase. 

Jacob Polica Treme

While doing basic genealogy (send for the certificates), the researcher at the Archive of the Archdioceses of New Orleans happened upon the baptismal entry for a previously missed child of Hortaire Treme and Elenor Ganier (spelling of names are standard that I am using). Here's a scan of the certificate.

As a standard part of research, you send for documents. I contacted the Archdiocese of New Orleans to start ordering baptisms to get confirmation on dates of birth. I decided to start with Grandpa Pete. Seems that Peter Dumas Treme started life as Pierre Dumas Treme.

Anyone who grew up in New Orleans can tell you that Frank is standing next to one of the lions on the Bayou Metairie side of the Peristyle in City Park. I can't tell you how often I visited the Peristyle in my lifetime.
