A Witness to a Marriage

I am continuing my look into New Orleans records, but shifting to the other side of the family tree. I previously wrote about my wife's 4th-great-grandfather Francois Halter in 2015. His signature appears on the marriage record of his daughter Louisa to Jean Baptiste Carbonetto (also spelled Carbonneti) in 1867.

New Orleans Marriages, 5 Feb 1867.

Like Francois, Jean Baptiste was also a gardener. He and Louisa appear in the 1870 US Census.

They had at least two children:
- Appolonia Pauline Carboneti, 1871
- Catherine Carboneti, 1875

Jean Baptiste died on 26 February 1895. It isn't clear what happened to Louisa.
