Bob,
Thanks Bob, I found a lot of information about him on line and even on microfilm on both his confederate and union service (New orleans 1st Inf.) Prior to the war I beieve him to be a french crewman who got "trapped" in New Orleans due to the Union blockad and forced due to circumstances to enlist in the militia What happened to him after the war , I don't know.
Thanks, Duane

Duane keep in mind the spelling could be off on his last name:
Labarde, Jean,2nd Lt. 11th Co. Battn. French Vols. La. Mil. Appears on Report for Oct. —, 1861.

Both this and the record below are from
Confederate Research Sources
Volume 2
L
page 603 and 606

Laberdure, J.,Jr. 2nd Lt. 2nd Co. 4th Regt. French Brig. La. Mil. On Report for March, 1862, to Maj. Gen. J. L. Lewis of the French Brigade.

Hello,
An ancestor of mine (Jean Laberdure) was a member of the European Brigade (french brigade) , foreign nationals who policed the city of New Orleans just prior to Union occupation. Does anyone have information on these units or Jean Laberdure ? Thanks, Duane

Thanks Bob! Where did you find it? Now it list a widow, which makes me peeved. From what we see she abandoned the children, one is my GG Grandfather, the other is his older brother, surprised to see only one listed, and no one can find her. I figured she met someone while he was gone and remarried. Now I'm really confused.
