Which 1778 to 1800 lists name Isleño family heads in Galveztown or Valenzuela?
Research question: Which Galveztown, Valenzuela, Barataria, and San Bernardo household lists from 1778 to 1800 name Isleño heads of household, and do any of them list Acadian spouses or neighbors?
The verified facts name the four Isleño communities as Galveztown, Valenzuela, Barataria, and San Bernardo 1, but they do not include any household list, so they identify no Isleño heads of household for these settlements. They state that Canary Islanders who settled in Spanish Louisiana between 1778 and 1783 intermarried with French, Acadian, Creole, and other groups 2, which shows general Acadian intermarriage but not whether any specific list names Acadian spouses or neighbors. The records show that Barataria was devastated by hurricanes in 1779 and 1780 and was abandoned, with its population dispersed to other parts of Louisiana and western Florida 4, so its households could not be followed on later lists. The newest dated facts cover 1783 23, so nothing here addresses household lists through 1800.
