Morris (Mauras, Moras, Morasse) family and history
I am a descendant of GABRIEL LAURENT BORDELON, a French immigrant merchant seaman who came directly to New Orleans, and his wife, ANNE FRANCOISE ROLAND, who also came to New Orleans totally separately from Gabriel but also directly (against her will) to New Orleans from France. They ultimately met in the new settlement of New Orleans, married, and the whole Bordelon story started.

Morris (Mauras, Moras, Morasse) family and history
I am a direct descendant of GODFROY MORAS and his wife ANNE DEROCHE, who were both born in France in the late 1690s. My Morace ancestors came over to what we know as Canada, but at the time, it was known as New France. While Godfroy Moras himself lived and died in France, Ann Deroche, their child, and all his descendants became prominent early settlers in Quebec and ultimately in Louisiana.
