<snip>There are generally considered about four groups
of French who settled in Louisiana:

1. The Acadians (Cajuns) from current Nova Scotia

2. The French, coming directly from France

3. The French Canadians, coming primarily from the
area of Quebec Province.

4. The French up from settlements in the Caribbean.
Some of the settlers, like Jacques Perilloux and
Leonard Lasseigne were French soldiers stationed in
New Orleans. When their enlistment was up, they
elected to stay---who knows why." <snip>
