Honore is my 3rd cousin, 7x removed...pirate and slaveholder? Man of mystery. Tied up somehow with your Pierre Gaultier. And what a rich story is unfolding here. I'm trying to puzzle out race relations from the time...here you have a white FC guy and a fpoc having children, but also owning slaves. Need to mull and ponder on that. Great job, cuz!
Thank you! And wow! I just checked and he actually has no known blood relationship to me at all, haha! Not something I often see with people from Louisiana. 😂 When I do connection finder, though, the path goes through my Gautier line, which makes only too much sense, haha.
Noticing you say "blood relationship" -- because we do know that the "cousin of my cousin is my/your cousin, too," heh? Or the more colorful "Nous sommes des cousins de la fesse gauche." (:
Oh...that Pierre is going to link us all "bloodwise" I think.

Came across a book yesterday that I'm borrowing from the library: Atlantic Wars by Geoffrey Plank. It seems he dug in and looked at the great international skirmishes that made a world war of the times. https://www.wolfsonhistoryprize.org.uk/past-winners/2021-winners/atlantic-wars/
Haha you know I like to look at all the connections, blood is just one kind😂 Sounds like an interesting book, let me know how it is!
Great job uncovering this history.
