This unique book contains the passenger lists of the eight vessels that brought Canary Islanders to Louisiana between 1778 and 1783. It gives a brief account of how the Canary Islanders came to be transported to Louisiana and of the interesting circumstances and personages connected with this migration. The islanders, or islenos, were classified upon arrival as farmers or soldiers; those who were soldiers were enrolled in various Spanish regiments for training, and those who were farmers were settled in the Parishes of St. Bernard, Iberville, Assumption, and Iberia. The 2,000 Canary Islanders, who are listed by vessel and separately indexed thereunder, are named, first by the head of the family and then by relation to the head of the family, as, for example, wife, son, daughter, etc. Further information includes the ages of the children, dates of embarkation, and names of captains of the vessels.

CANARY ISLANDS migration to Louisiana

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2015

Verified Purchase

It was the same information I found on ancestry.com but it is better in book form. I didn't have to print any of the documents and worry about the sheets printing all the names on one sheet. I like the booklet a lot...worth what I paid for it.

Poor Font Need a Magnifying Glass to Read.

This book the Font is small making it hard to read. The maps you need a magnifying glass. Not much information either. If you want more info get the one form Din, Gilbert. It has much more info and better bibliography. Throwing this one back.

The Canary Islands Migration to Lousiana

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2013

Verified Purchase

Same info with much much more available in Gilbert C Din's book "The Canary Islanders of Louisiana". Villere's book lacks a unified index for all migrants, indexing ship-by- ship only.
