REPORT: "Correcting the widely-distributed error in the identification of and ancestry of the Couvillion Louisiana progenitor"


NOTE: There is a lot of mis-information that has been distributed about the parents of Adrien Amable Couvillion, husband of Marianne Pourciau/Pourceau. In order to clarify the names of his parents, I'm posting the Couvillion-Pourceau marriage record here. As you can see, his parents are identified as "Adrien Couvions" and "Françoise Labrocarie". The actual name of his mother is Marie Françoise Boullerise (Boulerise, Bourhis, Boulerice). He is not the s/o Jean Baptiste Quévillon and Marie Anne Cadieu.:
