Oh boy do we have roaches… maybe not the American kind, but unfortunately they are a fact of life here, on account of the warm weather. On the plus side, we do have efficient pest control companies. I haven’t seen one in years at home.
De Tenerife. Una vez leí como había quedado esa zona, recuerdo leer que habían unos isleños, y nunca pensé que fueran de estas islas nuestras. Un saludo desde Canarias a todos los isleños de Louisiana
Some Islenos fought in the Confederate military and some were white supremacists
@46:50 that’s it.

Greetings from Tenerife. I lived in Baton Rouge while studying English in 1980. Great memories.
Here in northern New Mexico we still have a lot of Spanish ancestry. We practice lots of old Spanish traditions of the conquistadors and many traditions of our native American ancestors as well. We also speak old Spanish mixed with Mexican and English words. For example we don’t say the "s" sound in our Spanish. We turn this sound into "j" sound in Spanish. For example , no se turns into …no je. Como se llamaba turns into …como je llamaba… When I was a kid my dad would scary me and my brothers with el Coco. Lol. The boogey man from Don Quixote de la mancha. Saludos a nuestro primos los isleños…..
Marker 24:00 Greed, lawyer’s, judge’s , calling it legal, when it was unlawful
So these were like the white Gullah Geechees
Interesante pero entiendo poco el inglés,yo soy de Las Palmas de Gran Canarias,les agradezco esta información y trabajo…Gracias por compartir
Out of curiosity: do Isleños still speak some Spanish, even residual?
My canary family lives in U.S. since 1962, wonderful video!
Mine settled in Valenzuela. In Ascension Parish, as a child, I would ponder why so many Cajuns had Spanish surnames (Diaz, Ruiz, Domingue, Rodriguez, etc), but when I grew up, I discovered that my Cajun grandparents ALSO had an Isleño last name. The old name was Escaño, since altered.
Dude this was awesome I’m an islanos from Delacroix island LA
I learnt some new things so thank you for this video
Feel free if anyone has any questions for me
A bit of music, dances and typical ancestry party i La Orotava, Tenerife, Canary Islands. You can see something about it.

"Setecientos setenta y siete, varias familias canarias dejaron las Islas Canarias para la costa de Cuba, Texas y sur de la Luisiana…"
I’m Spanish Creole Proud mix with Spanish And African American I love my Spanish Creole and African American family in St. Bernard Louisiana that’s where I’m from 🇪🇦.
They were Canary Island people relocating to Louisiana, but the hurricanes wiped them out ! Katrina especially!
I wonder how many people from the canary islands end up on lousiana after the tributo de sangre that the spanish empire dictaminated as a solution for the overpopulation that was happening at the moment , if the families back then cannot pay for stay in the islands they would be shipped to america per 100 tons of cargo that passes through the canary islands https://www.laprovincia.es/canarias/2019/03/29/tributo-sangre-9342524.html
Latinos worldwide!
Saludos desde Gran Canaria.
