Biography

Euphrasie (Olivier) Buras is a descendant of an Acadian

Euphrasie (Olivier) Buras has Italian Roots.

Euphrasie Olivier, daughter of Antoine Olivier of Italy and Scholastique Guidry, was born in February of 1849^[1] in Barataria, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.^{[citation needed]} She was counted in her father's household in Barataria, Louisiana in 1850. However, a poor transcription of his wife's name looks as much like "Florentine" as it does Scholastie.^[2]

She married Jourdan Eugene Buras on 16 May 1869 at Our Lady Of Good Harbor Catholic Church in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana.^[3]

Children of the marriage:

1. Antoine Buras (1870)
2. Felix Buras (c.1871)
3. Alfred Jourdan Buras (1873-1947)
4. Emile Buras (v.1875)
5. Rosalia Buras (c.1878-1926)^[4]

By 1870 she was counted as married and living in Pointe Pleasant, Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana,^[5] where they were counted as rice farmers with four sons and a daughter in 1880.^[6]

In 1900^[1] and in 1910 they were again counted in Plaquemines Parish.^[7]

She died c.1942.^[8]
