Marie Sophie married Jean Baptiste Lepretre and they lived in the French Quarter at the corner of Orleans and Dauphine until the 1850's. They had a daughter named Marie Allice Lepretre who married Jules Aldige and their Daughter Anna Aldige was my great grandmother. Does anyone know who Marie Sophie's parents were?

I'm affraid I don't know very much about the Aldige house on Esplanade AVe.
I beleive that is has been demolished recently.
You must know some Aldige history and would be interested for any info you have.
Thanks Kay

I am having an awful time using this post with ancestry. It lets me in and then freezes on me, so PLEASE write me at dixiemamma@webtv.net I have some pictures of the house and yes it has been torn down due to a fire. I see where you are related tho to the Aldige's so thot you might have some info I didn't. I want to do a scrap book like of the info I have. How are you related? Would love to share with you.

I am researching an individual who married another daughter of Marie Sophie Anrdry and Jean Baptiste Lepretre, Justine Sophie Lepretre. She married Jean Francois Alexander LeMat in 1849. He was a physician, inventor and designer of the LeMat revolver of Confederate fame. Do you have any information on Justine Sophie

My great great grandfather was also a Jean Baptiste LePretre [c1816-1891. He came to northern Alberta. However I have 'heard' that their origins were from the 'east'. Where is your LePretre from? I'd be delighted to hear from you.
