Cheré Dastugue Coen is a descendant of a long line of French, German, Irish, Scotish, English, Canadian and Spanish immigrants to Louisiana. In 1997, she published "The Dastugue-Morano Family of Louisiana," a genealogical exploration of her paternal family, which dates back to the beginning of the Louisiana colony.
" 'The Dastugue-Morano Family of Louisiana' by Cheré Dastugue Coen follows her many family lines from Jean Baptiste who married Marianne Chevalier c1720s and lived on the German Coast, to Plaquemine and Opelousas, to New Orleans," writes Marie Wise, in her weekly genealogy column, "The Challenge of Genealogy." "With chapters on the major families of Frederic, Mayer, Nerault, Breau/Braud, Charré, Morano, Perez-McKernan and Dastugue, plus six family charts, this well written and presented genealogy concludes with 1912 letters between Louisiana and France Dastugue relatives and a very interesting account of the 1980s successful search by Louisiana Dastugues for their cousins in France."
Paternal family names include: Bourgeois, Braud/Breaux, Charré, Chevalier, Dastugue, Frederic, Lanclos, Mayer, McKernan, Morano, Nerault, Perez and many more, in the Louisiana parishes of Ascension, Iberville, Jefferson, Orleans, St. Charles, St. James, St. Landry and St. Martin.
