Louisiana Creole Research
Association
Welcomes You
LA Creole is a New Orleans based non-profit family research organization dedicated to the study of the history and culture of the Creoles of Color of Louisiana through ancestral research, education, and celebration.
Creoles of Color in Louisiana
There is evidence that both French and Spanish Colonial
Louisiana identified all its people (white, black,
and mixed), both free and enslaved, who were
born in the new world of old world stock as Creole. That
included the offspring of Europeans (predominantly
French and Spanish), Africans, and a mixture
of both that could also include Native American. 
Therefore,
the descendants of all these people can claim Creole
Heritage. LA Creole identifies the
gens de couleur, or people of color, as the mixed-race
descendants of those early colonial inhabitants of
Louisiana who became a unique ethnic group. Read
