WELCOME TO THE NGFHF WEBSITE

The Foundation's mission is to preserve Louisiana's French-Creole history and heritage.  As one example is the extended-family traditions of the Grand Families of DUPRE, GOUDEAU, LACOUR, METOYER, & RAY.

The Foundation website will serve as a clearinghouse of educational information.  It may also serve as an educational tool to help plan and organize related activities, such as during the next, "Historic 30th Anniversary Grand Family Reunion" scheduled for July 8-10, 2011 in Natchitoches and along the beautiful Cane River, Louisiana.  Through future donations and fundraisers, the Foundation will be suited to sponsor and finance a great variety of educational events and activities that help preserve the history and heritage of many of Louisiana's historic French-Creole families.

On behalf of the Foundation, enjoy the new website!  It will help us stay connected in the modern world and help disseminate information throughout thousands of descendants and interested parties spread across the United States of American and beyond!
