A photo of My great grandma, Laurie (Manuel) Richard who was born in 1909 in Chataignier, Louisiana to Duran Manuel and Ernestine (Chapman) Manuel. She married Leopold Richard of Richard, Louisiana.

A photo of Octavia Robertson. The third from the left with ribbon around head is my grandmother Octavia Missouri Robertson. Born in 1907, I am guessing maybe 15 here which would place this picture at about 1922. Five years later she would be married and giving birth to twins, my mother and uncle.

This picture was taken about 1987 somewhere near the French Quarter area in New Orleans. The identities of these ladies or what organization they belonged to is not known to me at this time. The woman on the left appears to be a Postulant ("a candidate for admission into a religious order") The two women to the right appear to be Nuns. I have not been able to find out what Religious Order the emblem on the front of their guimps (collars) belongs to. It appears to be a cross, flanked by a heart and some other object all encircled by a crown of thorns.
