Trevigne to discuss 'Creoles of Color'

Barbara Trevigne, MSW, will discuss “The Creoles of Color” at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 19, 2018, at the East Bank Regional Library, 4747 W. Napoleon, Metairie. This event is part of the regularly scheduled meeting of the Genealogical Research Society of New Orleans. It is free and open to the public.
