Join us for September’s virtual Gallier Gathering!

Madame Barbara Trevigne contributed to the earliest research on the lives of the enslaved that lived and worked at the Hermann-Grima House in her article for the Genealogical Research Society of New Orleans titled,” Sophie-Resident of the Hermann-Grima House (In Memory of Judith Bethea).” In this Gallier Gathering Mme. Trevigne will discuss her article and the research process for piecing together the lives of those enslaved in New Orleans during the antebellum period.
