Bayou Chene

We are going to have a section called Bayou Chene since our roots are there. Some of you may have memories about being there but I personally have never been there. Any thing anyone has to say will be of great interest.

Here are a few Carline entries...

Carlins and Boating

TO CARLINE FAMILY MEMBERS: This is an informal account of the CARLIN/CARLINS involved with boating. Most of what is written here, except for the 1819 article, is from hearing about it from family members and is therefore lacking and incomplete. Additions, comments or corrections are welcome and appreciated. Personal stories about boating experiences would be of much interest. Write them down and forward to me @ weno@charter.net and I will share with all CARLIN(E) family. Thanks, Winston Boudreaux.

THE ATCHAFALAYA BASIN
Mose Carlin & Lizzie Boyce their ancestors and descendants had much to do with boats and being around water. Those that lived in the Atchafalaya Basin used boats for transportation and to make a living by fishing, hunting, trapping, moss picking and logging.

When they left the basin many made their homes near the water in or near the towns of Jeanerette, Charenton, Centerville and Morgan City and fished full and part-time. The ones that didn’t fish commercially usually fished for recreation.
