Creole Genealogy & Culture.

Creole is probably one of the most misunderstood words in the English language. "The Creole Heritage Center has identified over 100 Creole communities in the state of Louisiana, communities founded by Creoles and known as past or current places Creole peoples call home", Mr. Peacock proclaimed. Keeping Creole History Alive Although these organizations and historians do a wonderful job keeping Creole history and culture available to everyone interested, they find it harder to reach the younger generations. Over time Creoles who had only European ancestry began to disassociate themselves with the term because they did not want to be socially classified with people termed Creole of mixed race due to the fact that there were no benefits to being black in America.".
