Welcome

I would like to welcome you to the new Webre Family History website.  I've have made several changes, so things will be quite different!  I hope you will enjoy the new site as much as you enjoyed the old one.  One MAJOR change is that you now have to log in to the new site.  This log in will give you access to much more information than you had before.

I'm currently in the process of uploading the images and documents from the old website to the new site. The information and items I have to move number into the thousands, so it will take a little time. I appreciate your patience. In the mean time, if you have questions or comments, please feel free to contact me. Likewise if you find something that needs a correction, please contact me also. If you have suggestions for things you would like to see on the new website let me know!

       

FAMILY REUNION

Tentatively mark your calendars for April or May 2010!  We are planning a rededication ceremony for the tomb in the spring, after all the work is done on it.  At that time, we will have a HUGE family reunion so everyone can get acquainted or reacquainted.

Start getting out your old family photos (and your brag books grandmas!...I'll have mine!!) This will be a great time to celebrate our wonderful family and all that we have accomplished.

I can't wait to meet everyone!

UPDATE

We are currently waiting for work to start!  Alfortish had some jobs scheduled ahead of ours and we have been assured that the work will begin before All Saints Day.  We will keep you informed!

Webre Tomb Restoration Project

Most of the descendants of Jean Pierre Webre, of Lafourche Parish, are aware that for the last several weeks we have had a GIGANTIC fundraising drive going on to raise money to restore our family tomb in Thibodaux. You will be happy and pleased to hear that we have reached a milestone in our fundraising which will enable us to begin work on the restoration process within the next three to four weeks. We are still trying to collect money in order to put perpetual care on the tomb once the work is completed. Check the Tomb Restoration Website for more details! If you have any questions, comments or would like to share research with me, please contact me at janice@jwebre.com.

This has been an enormous project and task, as you can well imagine.  If you have not received a request from us, it's not because we don't love you, it is because we don't have an address for you!  Send us your address and we will be happy to send you a letter requesting a donation.  If you would like to just send a check, without a letter, that is even better!

I look forward to hearing from you.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!

We are currently looking for volunteers to help with the planning of the Family Reunion!!  If you would like to have some input into the affair...contact me!  I have the planning site set up so that you don't necessarily have to live in the Thibodaux to be able to be a part of planning this.  Again, contact me so I can give you the information on how to get to our planning site!       janice@jwebre.com

 SOURCING INFORMATION
Information On Sources For Family Information

All information you will find on this website has been researched to the best of my ability.  I'm human (really I am!) and I make mistakes, so if you see something that you believe is not right, let me know.

I do not publish my source information online for a number of reasons.  The main reason is that it takes up LOTS of web space.  Another reason is that I believe people should use this as a starting point for their own genealogy.  Genealogy is no fun if you have someone else do all the work for you.

If you find that you need a source that you cannot find, feel free to contact me and I will help you.                                                                                            Jana
