The most European cities in the United States are buzzing, the news about the Catholic Church The New Pope Not only from the United States, but also from the Haitian and Creole peoples in New Orleans.

although Pope Leo 14 Records show that his family lineage has a deep root in Louisiana. The Archbishop of New Orleans said that when his great-grandmother was just a child, she was baptized in 1840 at the iconic St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square in Jackson Square.

Decades later, according to the sacrament records of the Archbishops of New Orleans, the great-grandfathers of the Pope (Ferdinand D. Baquie and Eugenie Grambois) married on September 19, 1864 at St. Mary's Church on Chartres Street in New Orleans.

According to records from the Louisiana Archives’ important records collection, the death certificate of Leo’s great-grandparents also indicates that they also died in Louisiana.

The marriage certificate at the Louisiana State Archives shows Leo's grandparents - Joseph N. Martinez and Louise Baque (Joseph N.

Historians say the pope's grandparents moved to Chicago in the early 1900s and they were married for more than 50 years.

Jari Honora, a family historian of the historic New Orleans collector, was the first to discover the relationship between the pope.

"I'm just excited and can hardly believe the Pope will have a New Orleans connection," Honora said.

Louisiana Archives also show that the pope's grandmother was identified as from New Orleans and his grandfather, considered Haitian.

He said the pope's maternal grandfather, Joseph Martinez, was later listed as the Dominican Republic. But in the earliest census records he appeared, Martinez and his entire family were listed as Louisiana.

"It makes you wonder, maybe there is some conscious memory of the Haitian origins he is talking to, or maybe he really thought he was born in Haiti, or even thought of an attempt to make the family really originate," Honora said. "I can tell you that when they arrived in Chicago, there was a census listed as Maltese, which was incorrect."

Honora (Creole Catholic himself) said that choosing this multicultural pope is a special moment for the city of New Orleans and Creole culture.

"This highlights the Catholic role that Catholics have played in the church since the beginning," Honora said. "We are on the Gulf Coast, especially in Louisiana, especially with colored Catholics, with black Catholics in the church."

Honora said he is still studying whether the Catholic new supreme leader has an ancestor who has been enslaved.

"I'm very confident that we'll get at least one line there, and I say there's only one line... It's a completely different experience to record enslaved ancestors, like some more modern studies from the 20th or late 19th century, where you've been widely following the laws on killing records," Honora said. "After the Civil War, before the 1870 Census, the enslaved people were simply not listed in the Census - only tick traces, check marks on the slave timeline."

Honora points out Pope Leo The love for cooking and mother is likely to be radiating from their Creole.

“This is one thing I read in the interview that the Holy Father had been a Pope candidate early on was that he was open to career because of the neighborhood pastors from the surrounding parishes, they were always in his home because they loved his mother’s cooking, and now we know why: because she knew she was a chef in New Orleans,” Honorlea said. ”

People in the Big Easy say it's exciting to see the pope at the Creole roots of Louisiana.

“I think it would be a good guy if there was going to be the first American pope, and it felt like a good representation, but he seemed to represent the interests of many Americans and might be more important than other cardinals than other cardinals,” Emmaline Kelly is now a family and now a family job on the local campus of New Orleans and local French.

She said she hoped Pope Leo A visit will be scheduled to see his Creole roots soon, while “hopefully follow in Frances’ footsteps and open the Catholic Church’s weapons to provide voice support to the LGBT people…to provide refugees with voice support.”
