This is an important genealogical milestone for the Supré, Jean Louis, and Leriche families of Grand-Anse and Nippes. In particular, for Frank Jean Louis, known as Papa. Frank was born on Friday, May 11, in Jeremie. He was the father of Pierre Marie Jean Louis, born in Petit-Trou-de-Nippes. This entry is part of the family diary kept by Elza Leriche Jean Louis, through her writings and those of her two daughters, one living in New York and the other in Madrid. Her daughter, Moise Lena Jean Louis, was born after Pierre Marie’s firstborn, “James Charles Jean Louis,” and is Pierre Marie’s second offspring and Elza’s first. Pierre Marie was later the father of Elza’s second daughter, Pierrelza Jean Louis. Frank had previously compiled extensive documentation of this genealogy, which evolved over the years through the family archive, within his own family, and with some more distant relatives.
