"The NORMAND Family of Louisiana" is a two-volume encyclopedia of information about the lives of the Normand family from France to Canada and thence to Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana, written by family historian Mark J. Normand. Volume one, "The History from Normandy to Avoyelles," is 315 pages filled with everything you want to know about our colonial ancestors, from the birth of Francois-Simon Le Normand (1570-1630) in Igé, Normandy to the death of Jean-Pierre Normand (1742-1824) in Avoyelles, Louisiana. It re-creates the historical setting for each of the family forefathers. We learn what motivated Gervais Le Normand (1597-1665) to pull up roots in Igé, France and plant them in Quebec, New France; of the family trials of Jean Le Normand (1637-1706) whose life ends mysteriously when his body is found trampled and bloody in a field of peas; the adventures of Charles Le Normand (1663-1715), the successful coureur de bois, roofer, and litigator in Quebec; the zigzag itinerary of Jean-Gaspard Normand (1712-1788) from Quebec to Montreal down to the American colonies at Fort Duquesne, back the Montreal, and finally to Louisiana; and Jean-Pierre Normand (1742-1824) who built a successful plantation and portage on the Red River, and began the great Normand family of Avoyelles, Louisiana. The book ends in the descendancy to the fifth generation from Jean-Gaspard Normand. The book also features Louisiana families who married into the Normand and Gaspard families: Vicknair, Matherne, Dupuy, Dauzat, Bonnette, Bordelon, Mayeux, Brouillette, Bernard, Couvillion, and many more. Debbie Melendy Norman, who helped edit the book, writes in her forward, "Mark's writing is lively and detailed, as he comes from a long line of raconteurs who have preserved hundreds of years of family memory. A gifted researcher, he has mined the archives of the United States, Canada and France for additional nuggets of information that he then works into the pure gold of story."

"The NORMAND Family of Louisiana" Volume two, "Aux Avoyelles dans Rivière Rouge" (at Avoyelles on the Red River), picks up where the first volume ended. Jean-Pierre Normand had two surviving sons, Pierre Normand (1774-1844) and Laurent Normand (1780-1842), from whom almost all the Normands of Louisiana descend. The book details their lives and acquaints us with their descendants. The children of Pierre and Laurent are featured in the subsequent chapters, which includes a descendants' narrative for each to the 21st century. We revisit our ancestors in the old town of Marksville and the surrounding areas of Bluetown, Par en Haut, and Prairie Bono on the Red River; Cocoville, Cotes des Gremillion, Grande Cotes, and Petite Cotes on the Avoyelles Prairie; and the communities along Bayou Des Glaises, Bayou Rouge, and Lake Pearl. From Brouillette to Plaucheville, and from Bunkie to Simmesport, the Normand family married into the Bordelon, Gremillion, Couvillion, Coco, DeCuir, Gaspard, Rabalais, Laborde, Joffrion, Lacour, Roy, Ducote, Gauthier, Dauzat, Riche, Mayeux, and many, many more established families of Avoyelles Parish. Written in his unique, animated style, family historian Mark J. Normand has loaded this 566-page volume with fascinating stories about the lives and times of our ancestors. Besides the thousands of contemporary Normand genealogies, the book includes over 600 great old photos and illustrations. It catalogues nearly 7,500 individuals that have ties to the Louisiana clan. If you want to see which branch of the NORMAND TREE you belong, or just curious about how you might be related to the Normand living down the street, it's all in Normand, volume 2.

Growing up in the Normand family in Marksville, La. is captured from the author's perspective. Born in 1947 and living in Marksville until the age of twenty, the author describes each family member, personal experiences, observations, and a look at how different thing were during that period in Avoyelles Parish in Louisiana, a heavily French area. He captures both a historical perspective as well as humorous stories about family members, friends, characters, and even a monster of that time. Many of the events he personally experienced, but other are about his observations of events he had very little to do with; but interesting nonetheless. The idea was hatched with the intent of documenting family history, but eventually expanded as more subjects and stories immerged. It is hoped that this book will both enlighten and entertain the reader; especially if the reader grew up in Avoyelles Parish and/or Marksville. Since most families have a less that perfect history, and "The Waltons" were the perfect family, the title warns that the Normands, unlike the Waltons, were NOT perfect; but we were colorful. I hope enjoy reading this book.

"Despite the increased popularity of Cajun foods such as gumbo, crawfish etouffee, and boudin, relatively little is known about the history of this cuisine. Stir the Pot explores its origins, its evolution from a seventeenth-century French settlement in Nova Scotia to the explosion of Cajun food onto the American dining scene over the past few decades. The authors debunk the myths surrounding Cajun food - foremost that its staples are closely guarded relics of the Cajuns' early days in Louisiana - and explain how local dishes and culinary traditions have come to embody Cajun cuisine both at home and throughout the world." -- from the publisher.
